llms.txt and an ARD manifest name the pages and the JSON API, and lead an agent setting up a device to --for-games --required-only. Every page registers four read-only WebMCP tools: the setup command, a hash lookup, an emulator's files and the site search.

"""What the site tells an AI agent about itself.
|
|
|
|
- ``llms.txt`` (https://llmstxt.org): the pages and data an agent should
|
|
read first, in Markdown, at the site's root.
|
|
- ``ard.json``: an Agentic Resource Discovery manifest
|
|
(https://github.com/ards-project/ard-spec) listing that file and the JSON
|
|
API, linked from every page's head with ``rel="ard"``.
|
|
|
|
Both are written from the registry at each build, so a new platform or a
|
|
moved page cannot leave them stale. The WebMCP tools a page registers live
|
|
in website/src/scripts/agent-tools.ts.
