# Agent-readiness remediation brief Site: https://vercel.com/ Platform: nextjs (99% confidence) AIScan score: 86/100 — Level 4 (Interactive) Rubric: v2026-06-08.2 ## Failing checks (sorted by weight) - **[B2] Explicit AI bot rules** — FAIL - Evidence: 0 known AI agent(s) addressed in robots.txt - Fix: Add explicit allow/deny rules for GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, etc. - **[E1] Correct 404 handling** — FAIL - Evidence: GET /aiscan-404-probe-zh0040 → HTTP 200 (soft 404 — returns 200 for a missing page), 477786 bytes, text/html - Fix: Return a real HTTP 404 (not 200) for missing pages, with a body that names the site and links to your homepage, sitemap, and search so an agent can recover. ## General guidance - Static-first: `robots.txt`, `llms.txt`, `/.well-known/*` JSON cards. - Markdown negotiation: serve `text/markdown` when requested via `Accept` header or `?format=md`. - Bot access: explicit allow/deny per AI user-agent (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, Applebot-Extended, Bytespider, Amazonbot, CCBot, meta-externalagent, cohere-ai, Diffbot). - Capabilities: publish an MCP server card and (optionally) an Agent Skills manifest even if the runtime isn't live — discovery first. - Re-scan at aiscan.site after deploying.
How this score is calculated
Every check earns points against a weight. We divide the points you earned by the points that actually apply to a Next.js — so checks that don't apply never drag you down.
Baseline every site should meet.
Strong signals most sites benefit from.
Emerging standards. Can only add points.
Not counted (4): B3, P2, P3, E5 — either not applicable to this site profile or optional and not yet adopted. Expand any check to see the exact evidence we based it on.
