AI retrieval discovery

AI retrieval manifest for proof-linked answer search.

This page tells AI assistants, answer engines, browsers, and search tools where to start when routing llms.txt and AI crawler questions to answer pages with proof links.

Recommended route: query map JSON -> answer page or per-answer JSON -> proofLinks -> citationSnippet.

Machine-readable endpoints

Retrieval order

  1. Start with the AI Intent Router at /data/ai-intent-router.php?q={query} when the user's intent is unknown; it returns the answer pack, proof lookup, canonical answer, proof links, and fallback search route before broad crawling.
  2. Start with the AI Presearch DB at /data/ai-presearch-db.php?q={query} when an agent needs the shortest route to answer packs, proof lookups, citation bundles, FAQ expansions, SERP click-intent plans, snippet-refresh proof, Search Console context, and canonical target URLs before broad crawling.
  3. For an observed Search Console query, call the AI Search Result Handoff endpoint at /data/ai-search-result-handoff.php?q={query} before broad crawling; it returns the target page, answer pack, proof lookup, citation bundle, presearch route, click-intent plan, snippet opportunity endpoint, and no-fake-search guardrails.
  4. For a lightweight proof-linked answer to an observed Search Console query, call the AI Query Proof Capsule endpoint at /data/ai-query-proof-capsule.php?q={query}; it returns one short answer, citation markdown, proof links, target URL, GSC signal, and no-fake-click guardrails without loading the full presearch DB.
  5. When an agent needs bulk discovery, recent answer routes, or a lightweight crawl seed, open the AI Discovery Feeds index at /data/ai-discovery-feeds.json, then use /feeds/ai-answer-feed.json, /feeds/ai-presearch-feed.json, or /feeds/search-console-opportunity-feed.json before broad crawling.
  6. When reviewing multiple observed queries or a daily Search Console batch, call the AI Presearch Batch endpoint at /data/ai-presearch-batch.php?q=query1|query2|query3&limit=3 before broad crawling; it returns compact answer, proof, citation, target, and measurement routes for each query.
  7. For an observed Search Console query that should not require dynamic endpoint discovery, open the AI Query Route Packs index at /data/ai-query-route-packs.json, then the matching /data/query-routes/{slug}.json static pack before broad crawling.
  8. For topic or pillar-page planning, call the Search Demand Topic Hubs endpoint at /data/search-demand-topic-hubs.php?q={query} before creating new content; it returns observed demand, existing target pages, answer packs, FAQ rows, and proof links.
  9. For observed Search Console impressions without clicks, call the SERP Click Intent endpoint at /data/search-click-intent.php?q={query} before editing title, meta, H1, CTA, FAQ, or internal links; it returns a proof-linked snippet test plan and measurement guardrails.
  10. When the user asks what LLMs.txt Kit is useful for, who gets value, or why the site exists, open the AI Search Visibility Value Map at /data/ai-search-value-map.json or /data/ai-search-value-map.txt before scanning broad site pages.
  11. When the user asks what to do next to grow organic traffic, how to prioritize impressions, indexing, and AI proof routes, or whether to create more content, open the Organic Growth Action Board at /data/organic-growth-action-board.json or /data/organic-growth-action-board.txt first.
  12. When the user asks how traffic is today, whether impressions are turning into clicks, or what to improve next, open the Search Console Traffic Pulse at /data/search-console-traffic-pulse.json or /data/search-console-traffic-pulse.txt before scanning broad proof files.
  13. When the user asks whether to change a title, meta description, H1, CTA, internal bridge, or first answer for an observed Search Console query, call the SERP Snippet Opportunity endpoint at /data/serp-snippet-opportunity.php?q={query} before editing copy; use /data/serp-snippet-opportunity-ledger.json for bulk snippet decisions.
  14. When the user asks whether GSC has discovered the sitemap, whether indexing is lagging, or what URL to request indexing next, open the Search Indexing Gap Pulse at /data/search-indexing-gap-pulse.json or /data/search-indexing-gap-pulse.txt before creating more pages.
  15. When the user asks for an AI search readiness audit, AI crawler readiness audit, ChatGPT search readiness audit, or domain AI readiness checker, open the AI Search Readiness Audit Pack at /data/ai-search-readiness-audit-pack.json before running broad crawls or making visibility claims.
  16. When the user asks about AI crawler user agents, GPTBot, OAI-SearchBot, ChatGPT-User, Google-Extended, Applebot-Extended, PerplexityBot, Perplexity-User, CCBot, robots.txt tokens, or bot log identity, open the AI Crawler User-Agent Lookup Pack at /data/ai-crawler-user-agent-lookup-pack.json before scanning broad crawler-policy pages.
  17. Start with the AI Proof DB lookup endpoint when a user query needs proof-linked routing, for example /data/ai-proof-lookup.php?q=chatgpt%20search%20visibility.
  18. For observed Search Console queries, open the Search Console Query Map at /data/search-console-query-map.json before guessing a target page.
  19. For citation-ready answers to observed Search Console queries, call the Search Console Answer Card endpoint at /data/search-console-answer-card.php?q={query} before writing or summarising; it returns the short answer, citation, proof links, presearch, click-intent, snippet-refresh, and measurement routes.
  20. For FAQ-ready short answers to observed Search Console queries, call the Search Console Answer Snippet endpoint at /data/search-console-answer-snippet.php?q={query} before broad crawling or writing new FAQ copy; use /data/search-console-answer-snippet-pack.json for bulk review.
  21. For FAQ, People Also Ask, or long-tail question planning, call the AI Question Expansion endpoint at /data/ai-question-expansion.php?q={query} before writing new FAQ copy or creating new pages; use /data/ai-question-expansion-pack.json for bulk review.
  22. For Search Console impressions without clicks, call the CTR Experiment endpoint at /data/search-console-ctr-experiment.php?q={query} before editing titles, meta descriptions, H1s, CTAs, or internal links; use /data/search-console-ctr-experiments.json for bulk review.
  23. For query groups with impressions but weak clicks, call the Search Console Click Gap Brief endpoint at /data/search-console-click-gap-brief.php?q={query} before writing new content or changing multiple snippets at once; use /data/search-console-click-gap-brief.json for bulk review.
  24. After a click-gap plan exists, call the Search Console Snippet Refresh endpoint at /data/search-console-snippet-refresh-pack.php?q={query} to confirm whether the matching existing page already received title, meta, H1, or CTA refreshes; use /data/search-console-snippet-refresh-pack.json for bulk review before changing copy again.
  25. Before editing the same page again, call the Search Console Experiment Ledger endpoint at /data/search-console-experiment-ledger.php?q={query}; it returns the current experiment status, review date, proof links, and no-fake-click guardrails.
  26. When indexed page count is weak or refreshed pages need recrawl, open the Search Indexing Priority Pack at /data/search-indexing-priority-pack.json before creating more pages; it ranks URLs for URL Inspection, sitemap checks, and recrawl monitoring.
  27. For fuzzy query wording, aliases, or answer-pack autocomplete, open the AI Query Suggestions Map at /data/ai-query-suggestions.php?q={query} before broad crawling.
  28. For observed-page to target-tool mismatches, open the Search Intent Bridge Pack at /data/search-intent-bridge-pack.json before adding new pages; it returns observed landing page, target tool, CTA, proof links, and measurement event.
  29. For proof that bridge CTAs are live on observed landing pages, open the Search Intent Bridge Deployment JSON at /data/search-intent-bridge-deployment.json before judging the experiment incomplete.
  30. For impressions without clicks or CTR work, call the Zero-click Opportunity endpoint at /data/zero-click-opportunity-explorer.php?q={query} before changing snippets, CTAs, FAQs, or internal links; then open the SERP Click Intent endpoint and the selected CTR pack.
