Agent View Layer

A producer-owned web view for AI agents. Publish clean `text/agent-view` companions so agents can understand pages without scraping pixels.

Put in a URL and see whether agents can discover, read, and cite the site from its own structured companion view.

Check discovery, document structure, TOON state, actions, and `llms.txt` readiness.

What is AVL?

AVL gives every human page a parallel agent view. The site owner publishes the facts, intent, actions, context, and navigation directly, so agents do not have to guess from layout.

Agent resultLess scraping. Better citations.

Conformance that starts useful and grows up.

AVL adoption should not require a rewrite. Start with intent and discovery, then add structured state, actions, context, and navigation.

`@meta`, `@intent`, and discovery so agents know what a page is for.

Add `@state` so agents can read page data without DOM scraping.

Add `@actions` so agents can understand the affordances available.

Add `@context` and `@nav` for meaning, traversal, and citations.

Real `.agent` outputs.

AVL is intentionally readable. These are the kinds of companion views an agent can fetch before deciding what to do next.

Built for adoption.

The public site is the front door. The GitHub repo remains the source of truth for the package, spec, CMS adapters, fixtures, and validator.

AI implementation brief

Give this to a coding agent and let it add AVL to a project.
