Content discoverability6 passed1 partly
  • llms.txt links work

    All 15 same-origin sampled links resolve (140 total links) (1 external link also failed; may be bot-detection or rate-limiting)

    1 of 19 links in your llms.txt return errors. Audit and fix or remove broken URLs to prevent agents from hitting dead ends.

    Check your fix: Every link in llms.txt returns 200 when fetched.

  • llms.txt exists

    llms.txt found at 2 locations; using https://docs.temporal.io/llms.txt as canonical

  • llms.txt follows the standard structure

    llms.txt follows the proposed structure (H1, blockquote, heading-delimited link sections)

  • llms.txt fits in an agent's context

    llms.txt is 14,033 characters (under 50,000 threshold)

  • llms.txt links point to Markdown

    15/15 same-origin sampled links point to markdown content (100%) (4 external links excluded)

  • Pages point agents to llms.txt

    llms.txt directive found in HTML of all 15 sampled pages, near the top of content

  • Markdown pages point agents to llms.txt

    14 of 15 sampled pages have content starting at 10–50% (worst 50%)

    14 of 15 pages have documentation content starting 10-50% into the converted output. Reduce navigation, breadcrumb, and sidebar markup that precedes the content area.

  • Content is in the HTML without JavaScript

    All 15 sampled pages contain server-rendered content

  • Markdown pages fit in context

    All 15 pages under 50K chars (median 6K, max 16K)

    1 of 15 pages have substantive content differences between markdown and HTML (avg 8% missing)

    1 pages have substantive content differences between markdown and HTML (avg 8% missing). If unintentional, agents are getting outdated content; regenerate markdown from source or fix the build pipeline.

  • llms.txt covers the whole site

    The sitemap at https://docs.temporal.io/sitemap.xml lists 262 of the 290 docs pages found through llms.txt and page links.

Freshness

Maintenance2 passed1 partly
  • Links and section anchors work

    1 of 57 references checked on the sampled pages are broken: 0 links and 1 section anchor. 3 more could not be verified (timeouts or blocked requests) and are not counted.

    Fix or remove the broken links, redirect moved pages to their new address, and restore or retarget section anchors. Agents follow links to gather context, and a dead link ends that path.

    Check your fix: Every link on https://docs.temporal.io/cli/command-reference/cloud/apikey#__docusaurus_skipToContent_fallback (no such section) linked from https://docs.temporal.io/cli/command-reference/cloud/apikey returns 200, and every #section link points at an element with that id.

  • Pages say when they were last changed

    15 of 15 sampled pages state when they were last changed.

  • Sitemap entries still exist

    All 10 sitemap entries sampled still exist.

Consistency with the API specNot applicable
  • Endpoints in the docs exist in the API spec

    No OpenAPI description was found, so the docs could not be compared with a spec.

CurrencyNot applicable
  • Deprecated operations are marked as such

    No OpenAPI description was found, so deprecation notices could not be compared with a spec.

Additional checks

Not part of the score: optional extras that help agents use your docs.

  • MCP server is discoverable

    No MCP server was found for these docs.

    Offer a read-only MCP server with a search tool over your docs, and link it from llms.txt, so agents in Cursor, Claude and ChatGPT can query your docs directly.

  • llms-full.txt is available

    llms-full.txt found at https://docs.temporal.io/llms-full.txt (8,058,582 characters).

  • Agent skills are published

    No agent skills index was found at /.well-known/agent-skills/index.json.

    Publish an Agent Skills index at /.well-known/agent-skills/index.json with a SKILL.md for your main tasks, so agents can load task instructions without reading every page.

98 (A), 19 of 23 checks pass
  • Based on 15 sampled pages, chosen deterministically from the sitemap and llms.txt. Pages outside the sample were not read.
  • Pages were fetched without running JavaScript, the way most AI agents read the web.
  • robots.txt stopped the scanner from reading 1 URL; checks that needed them are unverified.
  • Answerability, where an AI agent answers real questions written from these pages, runs in the open-source scanner with your own API key. This web score is made of Access and Freshness.
