# Agent Score Fix Report — Redpanda URL: https://Docs.redpanda.com Score: 90/100 (Grade A) I need help improving the AI-readiness of the documentation at https://Docs.redpanda.com. Agent Score found 3 failing checks and 3 warnings. ## Failing Checks (3) - [page-size] Page Size Html: 1 of 10 sampled pages convert to over 100K chars (max 138K, 44% boilerplate) - [observability] Llms Txt Freshness: llms.txt covers 483/4626 sitemap doc pages (10%); 4143 missing; 1225 llms.txt links not in sitemap (may indicate stale links or incomplete sitemap) - [observability] Markdown Content Parity: 2 of 8 pages have substantive content differences between markdown and HTML (avg 11% missing) ## Warnings (3) - [markdown-availability] Markdown Url Support: 8/10 sampled pages support .md URLs (80%); inconsistent support - [markdown-availability] Content Negotiation: Content negotiation partially supported: 8 correct type, 0 wrong type, 2 HTML only - [page-size] Content Start Position: 8 of 10 sampled pages have content starting at 10–50% (worst 24%) ## Fix Instructions For each issue above, please: 1. Analyze the documentation site at https://Docs.redpanda.com 2. Implement the specific fix 3. Verify the fix would cause the check to pass ### Common fixes: - **No llms.txt**: Create /llms.txt following https://llmstxt.org — list all doc pages in markdown format - **No .md URL support**: Configure your docs platform to serve pages at equivalent .md URLs (e.g. /docs/quickstart.md) - **No content negotiation**: Return markdown when request includes Accept: text/markdown header - **Large page size**: Reduce nav boilerplate, inline scripts, and repetitive markup - **No sitemap**: Generate /sitemap.xml listing all documentation URLs - **Auth walls**: Ensure docs pages return 200 without requiring login cookies or tokens - **No Last-Modified header**: Configure your server/CDN to include Last-Modified response headers - **Tab content hidden**: Ensure tabbed content is rendered in the HTML (not JS-only) so agents can read all variants ## Run afdocs Locally for More Detail To get deeper visibility into what's failing, run afdocs against your docs: npx afdocs check https://Docs.redpanda.com --fixes --verbose - **--fixes**: Adds "Fix:" lines to the output for each warn/fail check with actionable remediation steps - **-v, --verbose**: Shows per-page details (specific URLs, character counts, error codes) for checks with issues — useful for per-URL visibility into what's failing
