It handles structured data injection, `llms.txt` generation, AI-bot `robots.txt` rules, and data-driven FAQ schema — all automatically as part of the StaticForge build pipeline. Installation ------------ [](#installation) ``` composer require calevans/AnswerEngineOptimization ``` Features -------- [](#features) FeatureDescriptionAI-bot `robots.txt`Adds `Allow: /` rules for `OAI-SearchBot`, `ChatGPT-User`, `Google-Extended`, `Anthropic-ai`, and `Claude-Web`Article JSON-LDInjects `Article` structured data into every page ``BreadcrumbList JSON-LDInjects `BreadcrumbList` structured data on all non-home pagesFAQ JSON-LDInjects `FAQPage` structured data from frontmatter, `[faq]` shortcodes, or a shared JSON data file`llms.txt`Generates a site-wide `llms.txt` index for AI crawlers, with a titled header and per-page descriptions`llms` link tagInjects `` into every page ```.md` copyPublishes a stripped Markdown copy of each page alongside its HTML outputConfiguration ------------- [](#configuration) ### `siteconfig.yaml` [](#siteconfigyaml) All keys are optional. The package works with sensible defaults when they are absent. ``` site: name: "My Site" # Becomes the `# Title` in llms.txt and the Article schema publisher name. # Defaults to "LLMs Documentation" in llms.txt when not set. tagline: "My tagline" # Becomes the `> description` blockquote in llms.txt. # Falls back to `site.description` if `tagline` is absent. description: "..." # Fallback description for llms.txt when `site.tagline` is not set. social: default_image: "https://example.com/logo.png" # Added as `publisher.logo` in the Article JSON-LD schema. answer_engine_optimization: faq_data_file: content/assets/faq.json # Path (relative to project root) to the shared FAQ JSON data file. # Defaults to `content/assets/faq.json` when not set. ``` ### Per-page frontmatter [](#per-page-frontmatter) ``` --- title: "Page Title" description: "Shown as the description in the llms.txt entry for this page." no_llms: true # Set to true to exclude this page from llms.txt and suppress the tag. aeo: key_takeaways: "A custom summary written by the author, used verbatim in llms.txt." faqs: - question: "What is this page about?" answer: "It is about answer engine optimisation." --- ``` ### FAQ data file [](#faq-data-file) When `answer_engine_optimization.faq_data_file` is configured (or the default `content/assets/faq.json` exists), the package loads a shared bank of FAQs that can be referenced from any page via `data-faq` HTML attributes. **`content/assets/faq.json`** ``` [ {"id": "what-is-aeo", "question": "What is answer engine optimisation?", "answer": "It is the practice of structuring content so AI systems can accurately surface it in answers."}, {"id": "pricing", "question": "How much does it cost?", "answer": "It is free and open source."} ] ``` Reference an entry in your Markdown by adding a `data-faq` attribute to any HTML element: ``` ``` The matching entries are automatically included in the `FAQPage` JSON-LD schema for that page. ### Priority order for FAQ sources [](#priority-order-for-faq-sources) FAQs from all three sources are merged in this order: 1. `aeo.faqs` in page frontmatter 2. `[faq question="…" answer="…"]` shortcodes in page content 3. `data-faq="id"` references resolved from the shared JSON data file ### Priority order for `llms.txt` summary [](#priority-order-for-llmstxt-summary) The per-page summary line in `llms.txt` is resolved in this order: 1. `aeo.key_takeaways` in page frontmatter (author-written, highest priority) 2. `description` in page frontmatter 3. Empty string (the colon is still emitted; the AI crawler can infer context from the `.md` copy) ### Health Score 43 — FairBetter than 89% of packages Maintenance92 Actively maintained with recent releases Popularity6 Limited adoption so far Community10 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity57 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
