What This Tool Does

LLM Crawl Policy Validator is built for deterministic developer and agent workflows.

Validate robots.txt and llms.txt policies, detect cross-file conflicts, simulate AI crawler access, and export corrected policy files.

Use How to Use for execution steps and FAQ for constraints, policies, and edge cases.

How to Use LLM Crawl Policy Validator

  1. 1

    Paste robots.txt and llms.txt

    Use tabs to paste robots.txt, llms.txt, and optional security.txt. The validator parses directives and checks basic syntax first.

  2. 2

    Run validation and inspect severity

    Review errors, warnings, and info messages with file + line context to quickly identify malformed directives and missing policy fields.

  3. 3

    Check cross-file conflicts

    The conflict engine compares robots + llms intent (policy/training directives) to highlight mismatches that can confuse AI crawler access.

  4. 4

    Simulate major AI crawler access

    Review allow/deny outcomes for GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, CCBot, and Google-Extended to verify your access strategy.

  5. 5

    Export normalized policies

    Download corrected robots.txt and llms.txt outputs after fixes, then finalize with robots.txt Generator and Config Validator.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is LLM Crawl Policy Validator?
It validates robots.txt and llms.txt files, surfaces syntax and consistency issues, simulates major AI crawler behavior, and outputs normalized policy files for production use.
Which bots are simulated?
The simulator checks GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, CCBot, and Google-Extended using your robots.txt rules with wildcard fallback behavior.
Does it support security.txt checks?
Yes, security.txt is optional. The validator flags common omissions like missing Contact and Expires fields so your disclosure policy is complete.
Can this tool fix my files automatically?
It generates normalized robots.txt and llms.txt outputs you can review, copy, and download. Always verify policy intent before publishing.
Is my policy data private?
Yes. Everything runs in your browser. No robots, llms, or security file content is sent to a server.
