# --------------------------------------------------------------------------- # Scrums.com robots.txt — ONE file governs the whole www host. # # robots.txt is host-scoped: crawlers only read /robots.txt at the root, so # there is no per-surface robots file. This one file covers the Astro marketing # IA, the catalog /products/* (products-proxy worker) and the docs /docs/* # (scrums-docs-proxy). Each surface's URLs are enumerated in the segmented # sitemap index at /sitemap.xml (generated by # 03-grow/market/web/agt-web-site/technical-seo/sitemap-gen — see its README). # # Deliberately NOT disallowed: # - parameter URLs (?filter=, ?sort=, ?page=, …) — they carry per-page # noindex,follow + a canonical to their clean parent landing, and Google # can only read those signals if the URL stays crawlable # - /jobs/{item} postings — live (Active/Open) postings are listed in # /sitemap-jobs.xml; every other status is unlisted but kept index,follow # so JobPosting schema reaches Google Jobs (lifecycle events also go to # the Google Indexing API when its key is provisioned) # Only paths that should never be fetched at all are disallowed below. # --------------------------------------------------------------------------- User-agent: * Disallow: /api/ Disallow: /login Disallow: /sign-up Disallow: /opt-out Disallow: /thank-you Disallow: /products/deploy Allow: / # --------------------------------------------------------------------------- # AI + search crawlers: explicitly allowed to crawl the full site (incl. # /products and /docs).
