1-Click Fix Prompt for Cursor & Claude Code
Review my codebase for "Robots.txt Configured with Production Host and Sitemap Link" (OPS-003). Issue: AI projects often deploy with default robots.txt that blocks search engines (Disallow: /) or misses sitemap location. Remediation required: Create a dynamic robots.ts file allowing search engine indexing and pointing to your sitemap.xml URL. Please: 1. Locate any occurrences of this issue across my repository. 2. Refactor the code to follow production standards without breaking existing functionality. 3. Provide a clear command or step to test and verify the fix.
Why AI Assistants Write This Bug
AI projects often deploy with default robots.txt that blocks search engines (Disallow: /) or misses sitemap location.
AI code generation prioritizes immediate syntax execution over production edge cases. When an assistant hits an undefined variable or strict type error, it frequently takes the path of least resistance rather than implementing standard pre-launch security patterns.
