AI Readiness Kit

AI Readiness Skill

Generate a complete suite of AI readiness files (GEO / generative engine optimization) for any website in a single command — llms.txt, ai.txt, schema, RAG indexes, and more. Install it into Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, GitHub Copilot, Gemini, or Codex with one npx command, or connect over MCP with no install.

What is the AI Readiness Kit?

The AI Readiness Kit is a free, open-source set of 17 structured files you deploy at the root of your website — robots.txt, ai.txt, llms.txt, schema, RAG indexes, and more — that tell ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity exactly who you are, what you offer, and how to represent you. Generate the whole set, tailored to any site, with a single command. Free forever (MIT); install with npx or run it over MCP with no install.

Why AI readiness

When someone wants a product recommendation, a service provider, or a straight answer, they often ask ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or Perplexity before they ever visit a website. If you are not giving those systems clear, current signals, they guess — and they often guess wrong.

AI readiness files are structured files you deploy at the root of your website to tell AI systems exactly who you are, what you offer, and where to send people. They speak a format AI already understands (the llmstxt.org standard, Schema.org, and emerging AI-crawler conventions), so assistants stop guessing about your brand based on stale training data and start representing you accurately in their answers.

This skill researches any site, classifies its industry, and generates all of those files for you — tailored to that business — in one command.

Install

Quick install (any agent) — npx

# Global skill install → ~/.agents/skills/ AND ~/.claude/skills/ (default)

npx @silverbackmarketing/ai-readiness install

AGENTS.md — the cross-agent standard (Cursor, Codex & others)

npx @silverbackmarketing/ai-readiness install --agent agents

Both at once (recommended)

npx @silverbackmarketing/ai-readiness install --all

Primary targets:

For prompt-based agents, `AGENTS.md` is the default and recommended target — most modern agents now read it. Tool-specific files remain available if you prefer them:

Non-Claude targets install into the current directory, so run the command from your project root. --all installs Claude + AGENTS.md. Add --force to overwrite, or --dir to change the target. Shared-file installs insert a marked block and update it in place on re-run, so they never clobber your other instructions.

Other install options

• Claude Cowork one-click: download and open ai-readiness.skill.
• Any AI, manually: copy SKILL.md into the assistant's system prompt or custom instructions.

After installing, trigger it with /ai-readiness yoursite.com in Claude, or just ask any agent: *"create AI readiness files for yoursite.com."*

Use via MCP (no install)

Connect your coding agent to the hosted MCP server instead of installing the skill locally. Same workflow — research a site and generate all the files.

Production: https://ai.silverbackmarketing.com/api/mcp

Example prompts once connected:

Generate AI readiness files for example.com

Use ai-readiness to list all output files Get the file spec for llms.txt from ai-readiness

Cursor — add to .cursor/mcp.json:

{

"mcpServers": { "ai-readiness": { "url": "https://ai.silverbackmarketing.com/api/mcp" } } }

Refresh MCP servers, then ask: *"Use ai-readiness to generate files for example.com"*

Claude Code — add .mcp.json to your project root:

{

"mcpServers": { "ai-readiness": { "type": "http", "url": "https://ai.silverbackmarketing.com/api/mcp" } } }

Or run:

claude mcp add --transport http ai-readiness https://ai.silverbackmarketing.com/api/mcp

Restart the session, run /mcp, then ask: *"Generate AI readiness files for mysite.com using ai-readiness"*

VS Code / Copilot — add to .vscode/mcp.json:

{

"servers": { "ai-readiness": { "type": "http", "url": "https://ai.silverbackmarketing.com/api/mcp" } } }

Open MCP: List Servers, confirm ai-readiness is running, then use agent mode in Copilot Chat.

Claude Desktop — use mcp-remote in ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS):

{

"mcpServers": { "ai-readiness": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://ai.silverbackmarketing.com/api/mcp"] } } }

Fully quit and reopen Claude Desktop after saving.

OpenAI Codex — add to ~/.codex/config.toml:

[mcp_servers.ai-readiness]

url = "https://ai.silverbackmarketing.com/api/mcp" enabled = true

Or run codex mcp add ai-readiness --url https://ai.silverbackmarketing.com/api/mcp, then /mcp in a session.

Antigravity — Agent panel → … → MCP Servers → Manage → View raw config:

{

"mcpServers": { "ai-readiness": { "serverUrl": "https://ai.silverbackmarketing.com/api/mcp" } } }

Antigravity uses serverUrl (not url). Save, refresh, then try in agent mode.

Perplexity — two ways to use the kit:

• Via remote MCP connector — *requires a paid Perplexity plan; an org admin may first need to enable "Allow members to add custom connectors."* Go to Account settings → [Connectors](https://www.perplexity.ai/account/connectors) → click + Custom connector (top-right) → select Remote, then fill in:

Check the acknowledgement box, click Add, then click the connector card to enable it. Ask: *"Use ai-readiness to generate files for example.com."* (Full steps: Perplexity's Adding Custom Remote Connectors guide.)

• Manual — free, works on any plan: paste SKILL.md into a thread (or attach it), then ask: *"Using these AI readiness instructions, generate AI readiness files for example.com."*

Quick test:

curl -X POST 'https://ai.silverbackmarketing.com/api/mcp' \

-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \ -H 'Accept: application/json, text/event-stream' \ -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"tools/list","params":{},"id":1}'

What It Does

Run /ai-readiness yoursite.com and the AI will research the site, classify its industry, and generate production-ready files that tell AI systems (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, and others) exactly what the site is, what it offers, and where to send users.

When deployed to a web root, these files improve how a site appears in AI-generated answers, summaries, and recommendations — a must-have for any business that wants to show up in the AI-driven web.

---

The Files

The skill generates 18 files. Of these, 17 deploy to your web root across 7 categories (16 if you omit the optional .well-known/ai-plugin.json); the 18th, README.md, is project documentation for your team. This matches the 17-file kit described on the live site.

Usage

In Claude Cowork, type:

/ai-readiness yoursite.com

Or use natural language:
