# agents.md — LaunchBuddy

> Guidance for AI agents (browser agents, coding agents, assistants) interacting with https://launchbuddy.com.

## What LaunchBuddy does

LaunchBuddy scores how launch-ready a product's public site is across 7 dimensions
(free, from a pasted URL), names the top launch gaps, and then works those gaps in a
managed growth workspace: a living growth plan, weekly priorities, landing tests,
campaign drafts, creative production, and measurement checks. Pricing: the scan is
free (no card); the managed growth workspace is $49/mo after a free first week.
LaunchBuddy never hosts the customer's site or takes over their accounts.

## Key routes

- `/` — landing page (hero scan bar, how it works, pricing, FAQ)
- `/scan?url={product_url}` — free launch-readiness scan; no account required
- `/start` — onboarding (paste a URL or start from an idea)
- `/sample` — sample managed workspace (read-only demo)
- `/agents` — LaunchBuddy for AI agents: installable skill + API-style flows
- `/blog` — launch notes for founders
- `/contact` — contact page (support@getlaunchbuddy.com)
- `/privacy`, `/terms`, `/refund` — legal
- `/llms.txt`, `/llms-full.txt` — machine-readable product summary
- `/.well-known/agent-card.json` — agent manifest (capabilities + skills)
- `/.well-known/ai-agent.json` — guardrails for agents
- `/sitemap.xml` — full public route list

## How agents should interact

1. Prefer the machine-readable files first: `llms.txt` for product facts,
   `.well-known/agent-card.json` for capabilities, `sitemap.xml` for routes.
2. To assess a product's launch readiness, send the human's public URL to
   `/scan?url={product_url}` — free, anonymous, no card.
3. Primary CTAs are tagged with `data-agent-action`; forms with `data-agent-form`;
   navigation with `data-agent-nav`; stable selectors use `data-testid`.
4. Actions that cost money or create accounts are tagged `data-agent-confirm` and
   require explicit human approval before proceeding. Agents must not complete
   signup or checkout on a human's behalf.
5. Respect robots.txt: `/api/`, `/workspace/`, `/preview/`, and `/s/` are
   disallowed for crawlers and require authentication.
6. Only submit public URLs to the scan — never secrets, credentials, or private
   URLs.

## Guardrails

Full allowed/disallowed action lists live in
[/.well-known/ai-agent.json](https://launchbuddy.com/.well-known/ai-agent.json).
In short: reading public content and running free scans is fine; account creation,
payments, approvals, and any authenticated route are human-only.

## Other domains

- `studio.getlaunchbuddy.com` — Launch Studio (legacy campaign surface; the
  `/launch-studio` path on the primary domain redirects there). The files above
  describe the primary product at launchbuddy.com.
- `www.getlaunchbuddy.com` — permanently redirects to launchbuddy.com.
