Deployment Details

Policy Content Summary

The document defines enterprise guidelines for structuring content to be machine-readable by LLMs, autonomous agents, and automated readers. Key themes covered:

  1. Token economics of markdown vs HTML: Comparative analysis of token-per-byte efficiency across documentation formats, with guidance on when each format optimizes for different consumers.
  2. Structural conventions for agent parsing: Standardized heading hierarchies, code block delimiters, and metadata patterns that reduce agent misinterpretation costs.
  3. Human-readable vs agent-optimized documentation: The distinction between formats optimized for human consumption versus those optimized for automated ingestion, and when each is appropriate.

Index.json Manifest Update

The JSON Feed manifest at /home/franklin/workspace/website/static/www/research/index.json was updated with the policy entry prepended at position [0]:

llms.txt Update — Pending

The wonderland llms.txt file needs a [Policies] subsection added before the blog posts table, linking to this policy document. The current source index.json references the Policies section but the live copy on wonderland has not been updated yet. This remains as a follow-up item for the next operational window.
