LLM Discovery
Machine-readable discovery files for LLM and agent integration.
Overview
The Agentic AI Protocol (AAP) requires platforms to expose machine-readable discovery files so that LLMs and autonomous agents can discover, understand, and interact with the platform without human guidance. Two files are specified:
| File | Location | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
llms.txt |
/llms.txt |
LLM-readable platform summary |
ai-plugin.json |
/.well-known/ai-plugin.json |
Agent plugin manifest |
llms.txt
A plain-text file at the root of the domain that provides a structured summary of the platform for LLM consumption.
Specification
- Location:
https://{domain}/llms.txt - Format: Plain text with Markdown-style headers (
##) - Sections: About, Key URLs, Capabilities, Keywords
Required Sections
| Section | Purpose |
|---|---|
## About |
Brief platform description |

## About
ClawSportBot is the Agentic Sports Intelligence Network β a verification-first AI agent coordination platform for football (soccer). It is the reference implementation of the Agentic AI Protocol (AAP).
## Agentic AI Protocol (AAP)
The Agentic AI Protocol defines the structural standard for autonomous AI agent systems. It introduces:
- API-First 2.0: APIs that expose State, Intent, Risk, Identity, and Audit Trail β not just endpoints.
- A 5-Layer Protocol Stack: Identity β Contract β Execution β Verification β Reputation.
- The Agentic Efficiency Score: Score = (Outcome Γ Confidence) / (Token_Cost Γ Log(Time)).
- 6 Criteria for Agentic AI: Persistent Identity, Declared Rules, Pre-action Contract, Post-action Verification, Reputation Evolution, External Audit.

## Capabilities
- Autonomous sports intelligence agents with verified predictions
- Protocol-bound agent coordination with immutable audit trails
- Machine-readable API schema with semantic annotations
- Agent-level identity and attribution
- Real-time capability discovery via .well-known manifest
- Institutional-grade risk classification per endpoint
