AWS scores 69/100 (Grade D), passing 11 of 22 checks (50%). There are 8 issues limiting AI agent readiness. Addressing llms.txt support and markdown availability would provide the most improvement.
# Agent Score Fix Report — AWS URL: https://docs.aws.amazon.com Score: 69/100 (Grade D) I need help improving the AI-readiness of the documentation at https://docs.aws.amazon.com. Agent Score found 7 failing checks and 1 warnings. ## Failing Checks (7) - [content-discoverability] Llms Txt Size: llms.txt is 288,557 characters (exceeds 100,000 threshold; will be truncated by most agents) - [content-discoverability] Llms Txt Links Markdown: Same-origin links point to HTML and no markdown alternatives detected - [content-discoverability] Llms Txt Directive: No llms.txt directive found in any of 10 sampled pages - [markdown-availability] Markdown Url Support: No sampled pages support .md URLs (0/10 tested) - [markdown-availability] Content Negotiation: Server ignores Accept: text/markdown header (0/10 sampled pages return markdown) - [page-size] Content Start Position: 1 of 10 sampled pages have content starting past 50% (worst 90%) - [observability] Llms Txt Freshness: llms.txt covers 28600/49999 sitemap doc pages (57%); 21399 missing; 99283 llms.txt links not in sitemap (may indicate stale links or incomplete sitemap) ## Warnings (1) - [page-size] Page Size Html: 1 of 10 sampled pages convert to 50K–100K chars (max 83K, 60% boilerplate) ## Fix Instructions For each issue above, please: 1. Analyze the documentation site at https://docs.aws.amazon.com 2. Implement the specific fix 3. Verify the fix would cause the check to pass ### Common fixes: - **No llms.txt**: Create /llms.txt following https://llmstxt.org — list all doc pages in markdown format - **No .md URL support**: Configure your docs platform to serve pages at equivalent .md URLs (e.g. /docs/quickstart.md) - **No content negotiation**: Return markdown when request includes Accept: text/markdown header - **Large page size**: Reduce nav boilerplate, inline scripts, and repetitive markup - **No sitemap**: Generate /sitemap.xml listing all documentation URLs - **Auth walls**: Ensure docs pages return 200 without requiring login cookies or tokens - **No Last-Modified header**: Configure your server/CDN to include Last-Modified response headers - **Tab content hidden**: Ensure tabbed content is rendered in the HTML (not JS-only) so agents can read all variants ## Run afdocs Locally for More Detail To get deeper visibility into what's failing, run afdocs against your docs: npx afdocs https://docs.aws.amazon.com --fixes --verbose - **--fixes**: Adds "Fix:" lines to the output for each warn/fail check with actionable remediation steps - **-v, --verbose**: Shows per-page details (specific URLs, character counts, error codes) for checks with issues — useful for per-URL visibility into what's failing
