OARS Agent Readiness

Changelog

1.0.0

  • First public release. Automates OARS Levels 0–2 — oars.json, llms.txt, AI bot directives, Schema.org identity, Content-Signal + baseline security headers, sitemap, and a live readiness score with per-check fixes and a guided setup wizard. Optional AI enrichment (bring your own key). Higher levels available via the separate OARS Pro add-on.

0.4.0

  • Live verification: the scorer now self-fetches your live URLs and headers (robots.txt, llms.txt, oars.json, homepage JSON-LD) so the score reflects what agents actually see — not just which toggles are on.
  • oars.json schema-conformance check against the canonical OARS manifest schema.
  • Content-Security-Policy support (report-only by default) for Level 0, plus an HSTS check.
  • Link headers (RFC 8288), CORS on agent-readable files, /.well-known/oars.json alias, and /llms-full.txt.
  • Pro: Web Bot Auth signing-key directory at /.well-known/http-message-signatures-directory (Ed25519 JWKS).
  • Pro: Agent Skills discovery (/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json + SKILL.md) and per-offering-page Schema.org.
  • New first-run setup wizard, plus “Assess” and “Get verified” links into the Knov.ai directory funnel.

0.3.0

  • Pro: Agent API (Level 3) — read-only REST endpoints (/profile, /content, /offerings), an OpenAPI 3.1 contract at /openapi.json, and an A2A agent card at /.well-known/agent-card.json.
  • Pro: Level 4a product catalog — a machine-readable WooCommerce feed (pricing, availability, currency) at /oars-products.json.
  • Pro: per-level dashboard tabs (Levels 0–4) with a build roadmap + implementor link for Level 5.
  • AI Assist: generate/populate identity fields and the llms.txt narrative from your own content (with a connected LLM).
  • Compliance level is now grounded against your actual checks (suggests the level you’ve achieved).
  • Fixed multi-tab settings save wiping fields on other tabs.

0.2.0

  • Added Level 0 (Reachable) checks + baseline security headers.
  • Fixed virtual file serving with real rewrite rules so /oars.json and /llms.txt reliably resolve (no more 404s).
  • Added XML sitemap detection + fallback generation at /sitemap.xml.
  • Scorecard now shows a detail line and a quick link for every check.
  • AI enrichment model field now accepts the exact model name (empty = provider default).

0.1.0

  • Initial release: Level 1–2 free generation + scoring, optional LLM enrichment, and Pro scaffolding.
