2026-05-15T11:38:05Z — run #17 (Tier A: rewrote /llms.txt + /.well-known/llms.txt to highlight AIP-1)

Direct execution of focus.md priority #3 (verbatim: "/llms.txt updated to highlight AIP-1"). This had been an explicit named TODO since Bilale set the category-creation focus this morning (commit ab79e37), and run #16 (1h ago) focused on security.txt instead. Now done.

State entering this run

• /llms.txt served at 200 (3276 bytes) — zero mention of AIP-1 / OABP / "open agent bounty protocol". Pure product-pitch framing.
• /.well-known/llms.txt served at 200 (1593 bytes) — same gap, plus stale economy stats ("15 agents, 3230 AIGEN distributed" — both wrong vs current dashboard).
• AIP-1 spec exists at `specs/AIP-1.md` (committed in `ab79e37`), served live at 200 (1594 bytes) — but **nothing crawled at /llms.txt or /.well-known/llms.txt points to it**. So an LLM agent that fetches our llms.txt as the "entry point" learns nothing about our category-creation positioning.
• ClaudeBot finished S5 earlier today (per run #15 journal): aggressively re-crawling the site every 30-67 min. Whatever we ship to llms.txt is in the next Anthropic eval-training-data window.

Action taken (Tier A — public-surface edit, no app code touched)

1. /home/luna/crypto-genesis/aigen/llms.txt rewritten:

- H1 reframed: # AIGEN — Reference Implementation of AIP-1 (Open Agent Bounty Protocol)

- Lead paragraph: AIGEN is the reference impl of a CC0 spec, not a single product

- New ## Specification — AIP-1 section: links to spec, GitHub mirror, license note, explicit invitation for second non-AIGEN implementation, "fail if 12 months no second impl" honesty

- Added AIP-1 spec link + blog thesis essay link to "Quick links for AI agents"

- "Open source" footer: notes spec is CC0 and independent of impl (anyone can build a second OABP system on any chain)

- Total: 3276 → 4949 bytes (+1673, ~51% increase — substantive but not bloated)

2. /var/www/html/llms.txt updated via sudo cp from repo source (root:root 0644). nginx serves it directly (no reload needed; static file).

3. /var/www/html/.well-known-llms.txt updated separately (shorter MCP-focused manifest at the RFC-canonical path). Added 12-line ## Specification (AIP-1) block right after the H1. Total 1593 → 1968 bytes. Did NOT touch the stale economy stats — that's a separate cleanup, distinct decision (do we want auto-updating stats in /llms.txt? probably yes, but not in scope this invocation).

4. Verified live: both URLs return 200 with the new AIP-1 content. AIP-1 spec link in turn returns 200 (1594 bytes).

Why this is the right action for this invocation

• **Verbatim priority #3 in focus.md.** Not invented work — explicitly named TODO.
• **Aligned with the OABP category-creation thesis Bilale committed to today.** Every LLM crawler that hits llms.txt is now told: "this is a CC0 spec implementation, not a closed product". That's the positioning we want compounding.
• **Single coherent commit** (one file in repo: `llms.txt`). Within the ≤2 commits/invocation rule.
• **Zero new feature, zero new endpoint, zero new code path in Python.** Pure copy edit on a public-facing surface. Fully reversible (`git revert` + `sudo cp` back).
• **High distribution potential**: ClaudeBot S5 just crawled this surface earlier today; S6 likely within hours. GPTBot, Anthropic's own training crawlers, and any LLM agent doing first-contact-via-llms.txt all benefit immediately.

What I deliberately did NOT do

• **Did not deploy `/.well-known/oabp.json`** (AIP-1 §9 mandates it). Reason: AIP-1 §5 says implementations MUST expose `GET /agents/{id}` literal path, but our impl exposes `/api/agents/{id}`. Publishing oabp.json that claims AIP-1 compliance while we're inconsistent with our own spec §5 is sloppy. The fix is EITHER (a) tighten spec to allow path prefixes (v0.2 decision — Bilale's call), OR (b) add `/agents/{id}` alias to Python app (feature add — Tier B / against lessons.md "don't build features without external request"). Logged this as the v0.2 question.
• **Did not touch stale economy stats in /.well-known/llms.txt** (15 agents / 3230 AIGEN distributed — wrong by 64% vs current dashboard's 5324 AIGEN paid net). That's a separate cleanup with a real design question (auto-refresh? snapshot freshness?). Out of scope.
• **Did not write a new blog post.** Blog cadence per focus.md is every 2 weeks; first one shipped 2026-05-15 (today). Next due 2026-05-29.
• **Did not commit untracked files** in `../contributors_watch/` or `../distribution/email_nico_hustlerops.md` (visible in git status). These appear to be pre-existing drafts, not mine; if they were mine I'd have committed them when I wrote them. Leaving alone.
• **Did not edit the AIP-1 spec itself.** v0.2 is for after first external feedback — premature to bump now.
• **Did not submit AIP-1 to any external registry / forum** (HN, lobste.rs, /r/MachineLearning, EthResearch). Per focus.md: "Bilale's job, not autopilot's".

State delta vs run #16 (~1h ago)

• New live surface content: /llms.txt and /.well-known/llms.txt both now headline AIP-1 / OABP.
• /.well-known/security.txt deployed in run #16 (200, 437 bytes): still live. **No external hits** to it yet (only the original 209.38.70.156 visit at 10:26Z that 404'd before deploy). Watch run #18 for a re-fetch.
• Top recent paths (last ~300 lines, external only): `/mcp` dominates (50+ hits via Cloudflare-fronted ke/JS clients — known traffic). `/.well-known/security.txt` shows 5 hits in dashboard `recent_top_paths` — those are self-traffic from the `sudo curl -k` verification calls during run #16 (Bilale's IP filter would catch them; harmless).
• Missions: 158 → 164 lifetime (+6, radar daemon over ~1h). Treasury $0.078574 unchanged. Lifetime fees $0.000250 unchanged. Bilale's focus.md explicitly says these are no longer KPIs — don't optimize.
• Approval queue: empty.
• 54.67.34.241 (the stuck client): 3 hits on /mcp 405 and 3 on /mcp/sse 200 — same stuck pattern, no change. Per lessons.md `/firewall` and `/mcp` 400 entries: not a bug on our side, don't fix.
• HustlerOps 89.213.118.44: silent (~25h since last poll). Codex outreach (chaoqiang.tian@gmail.com): silent ~3.5h post-send. Nico PR comment: no reply yet (~3.5h).

Signal to watch run #18 (~12:08Z)

• Does any LLM-agent crawler (ClaudeBot, GPTBot, etc.) re-fetch /llms.txt or /.well-known/llms.txt after this update? ClaudeBot S5 was on cadence 28-67min — expect S6 soon. If they pick up the new AIP-1 framing, that's the first signal of distribution working.
• Does anyone hit `/specs/AIP-1.md` from outside? Currently zero externals on it. The new /llms.txt link is the first crawler-discoverable hint.
• Any external IP touching `/api/missions` or `/api/agents/*` (still zero today).
• Any inbound email reply (Codex) or PR comment reply (Nico).
