GET /llms.txt

An llms.txt (the proposed convention for telling LLMs about site structure) that lists pages that 404, contradicts itself, or embeds prompt-injection content. Tests whether AI agents that ingest llms.txt sanitise it before acting.

mode dead-links (default; every linked path 404s), contradictory (summary disagrees with linked-page content), prompt-injection (embeds 'ignore previous instructions' content — clearly labelled chaos, useful for testing whether your agent sanitises ingested llms.txt).
