Agents already use docs as product instructions
Coding agents, AI search products, and automated support flows read docs long before a human asks for help. If the docs are hard to fetch or parse, the product feels harder to use.
Independent docs benchmark desk
Before an agent touches your docs, check the benchmark.
This public documentation benchmark tests whether an agent can discover the right page, fetch readable text, follow the instructions, and recover when the docs get fuzzy.
Use it as a public docs leaderboard, a fast AI-readability audit, or a way to compare API docs, developer docs, and help centers before a prospect or agent does.

Why it matters
Docs quality now affects AI usability.
This is not a vanity score. It is a practical read on whether an agent can discover, read, and act on your documentation.
Docs quality now affects activation
Agent-readable docs shape implementation speed, support load, and whether a product feels trustworthy during evaluation.
Benchmarks make docs quality comparable
A shared benchmark gives teams a concrete way to compare docs quality, spot weak areas, and track improvements over time.
Methodology
How the benchmark scores docs.
This scoring model is informed by AFDocs and adapted into a public benchmark teams can inspect, compare, and rerun.
Checks for llms.txt, sitemaps, and a clear public docs entry point.
- LLMS TXT existsAn llms.txt file is published at a predictable docs path.
- LLMS TXT is structuredThe llms.txt file follows a format agents can parse quickly.
- Docs entry point is obviousThe primary docs home is easy to identify.
- Docs sitemap existsThe crawl map is present and reachable.
- Key docs links resolveThe sampled entry links resolve without dead ends.
- Public indexing path is stableAgents can stay on a stable public path while crawling the docs.
