AI Crawler Access Agent Skill

Check which AI crawlers can reach your site across robots.txt, meta tags, and HTTP headers, and fix the blocks costing you AI visibility.

The AI Crawler Access Agent Skill maps which AI crawlers your site allows and which it blocks, across robots.txt, robots meta tags, and HTTP headers.

Crawler access is specific to each product. For example, OAI-SearchBot controls inclusion in ChatGPT Search, Claude-SearchBot supports Claude search, and Googlebot controls eligibility for Google Search features including AI Overviews and AI Mode. GPTBot, ClaudeBot, and Google-Extended are separate training or grounding controls; blocking them does not by itself remove a page from those search products.

What this skill helps your agent do

  • Build a complete access map: which named AI crawlers are allowed, blocked, or unaddressed.
  • Catch blocks you did not intend, including blanket rules and inherited defaults.
  • Distinguish training crawlers from retrieval crawlers, so you can allow citation without allowing training.
  • Recommend the specific robots.txt lines to change.

When to use it

Run it first, before any other AI-visibility work, and again after any change to robots.txt or your CDN's bot rules.

What you get back

A per-crawler access table with the rule responsible for each verdict, plus the exact edits to make. Where a block looks deliberate, it says so rather than telling you to remove it — declining to be used for training is a legitimate choice.
