Machine-readable storefront context, without false promises.

Brass Archive can expose native request paths and structured data that help compatible systems understand public storefront content. These surfaces do not guarantee indexing, citation, ranking, or sales.

Native request paths

Three explicit discovery surfaces.

/llms.txt

Concise storefront guide

A compact overview of public store identity, important routes, and catalog context.

/llms-full.txt

Expanded public context

A broader machine-readable view for supported public storefront content.

/agents.md

Agent guidance

Public usage notes and boundaries for compatible automated systems.

Where to edit

Shopify's builder exposes status, not long-form prose.

Theme settings show whether native discovery templates are included. Advanced text is maintained in the corresponding Liquid templates under Edit code:

  • templates/llms.txt.liquid
  • templates/llms-full.txt.liquid
  • templates/agents.md.liquid

This keeps the visual builder concise and prevents large technical text fields from crowding ordinary merchant settings.

Structured data

Enable only one authoritative schema source.

Brass Archive can emit organization, website, product, breadcrumb, FAQ, article, blog, and collection-oriented structured data where the underlying content supports it. Disable overlapping theme output when a dedicated schema app is the chosen source.

  1. Keep storefront facts accurate and visible to customers.
  2. Enable the theme's structured data or a dedicated app, not conflicting duplicates.
  3. Validate rendered pages after product, policy, domain, or app changes.
  4. Never add hidden claims solely for crawlers or automated systems.
