standardbeagle.github.io

The user site for standardbeagle.github.io — a project index, and the host-wide files that only this repository can serve.

Why this repository exists

Every Standard Beagle project site is a GitHub Pages project site, served as a subpath of this one host: standardbeagle.github.io/tman/, /agnt/, /mcp-tui/, and so on. Some things are read only from the domain root, and the domain root belongs here:

file	why it cannot live in a project repo
robots.txt	Crawlers read it only from /robots.txt. A copy at /tman/robots.txt is ignored.
sitemap.xml	Can live anywhere, but a single index at the root is the one URL to submit for every project at once.
404.html	The user site's 404 page is served for unmatched paths across the whole host, including paths under a project that has no 404 of its own.

Before this repository existed, https://standardbeagle.github.io/ returned 404, so none of the above was servable for any of the eleven project sites and the one URL they all share was an error page.

Layout

index.html          project index, grouped by area
404.html            host-wide 404
robots.txt          allows everything, points at the sitemap index
sitemap.xml         sitemap index
sitemap-sites.xml   the root page plus every project home page

No build step and no dependencies — GitHub Pages serves this directory as-is from main.

Adding a project

1. Add a card to index.html in the right section.
2. Add its home page to sitemap-sites.xml.
3. If the project publishes its own sitemap.xml, add it to sitemap.xml as well. If it does not, step 2 is enough for it to be discovered.
4. Add it to the list in 404.html.

Link only what actually serves. A hub pointing at 404s is worse than no hub, because it is trusted. Check before adding:

curl -s -o /dev/null -w '%{http_code}\n' -L https://standardbeagle.github.io/<project>/

brummer has Pages enabled but serves 404, so it is deliberately not linked here. Add it once it deploys.
