## When to use

At the start of any content-heavy site project where both people and AI agents
are expected readers.

## Sections

1. **One-line site definition** — what is this site, in one sentence?
2. **Content types and collections** — every typed object the site publishes.
3. **Human route map** — the URL structure people navigate.
4. **Top navigation mapping** — which routes surface in the nav, which stay discoverable.
5. **AI-readable entry points** — `/llms.txt`, `/llms-full.txt`, `/sitemap.xml`, `/rss.xml`.
6. **Public/private boundary summary** — what never ships, stated plainly.
7. **Markdown mirror rules** — what `/md/[type]/[slug].md` includes and strips.
