Nice, thanks!

edit: in the docs, the command to install the npm package seems to be wrong (crawlie doesn't exist), it should be: npm i -g @spronta/crawlie

Thank you for catching! The docs were a bit too eager on the package simplifying I worked on (oops!).. "npm i -g crawlie" is now correct

we're shipping fast, will break less things now though I promise ;)

That's nice! I like that it also checks for the llms.txt. It seems to me that no SEO agency is aware of this simple but powerful file.

Thank you!! Lots more to come

Honestly, the industry is half-torn on whether llms.txt does anything... we're in such a new world. But the same ol' SEO tricks still apply for AI engines for sure.
