KCITService – AI Site Beacon vs Slim Maintenance Mode

KCITService – AI Site Beacon generates the four standard AI-readable files (llms.txt, llms-full.txt, llms-index.json, llms-sitemap.xml) plus an optional /ai.txt for training permissions, and integrates with your /robots.txt. Where it differs from other plugins in this category: How this plugin is different Multilingual UI out of the box — 8 bundled language packs (English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, French, German). No separate language pack downloads, no machine-translated strings — every UI label, button, help text, and FAQ entry was hand-translated. CJK-aware processing — the word counter and summary builder correctly handle Chinese, Japanese, and Korean characters. Most llms.txt generators undercount CJK content (counting an entire 1,000-character Chinese article as “1 word”) or produce mangled URL-encoded TOC anchors. We don’t. All three signal files in one plugin — llms.txt for content discovery, robots.txt integration for crawl signals, and ai.txt (Spawning.ai format) for training permissions. One admin area, consistent UX, single generation pipeline. Per-bot training controls — the ai.txt tab ships with a curated list of 13 known AI user-agents (OpenAI’s GPTBot/ChatGPT-User/OAI-SearchBot, Anthropic’s ClaudeBot, Google-Extended, Common Crawl’s CCBot, PerplexityBot, ByteDance’s Bytespider, Applebot-Extended, Amazonbot, Meta-ExternalAgent, cohere-ai) with default/allow/disallow radios for each. Settings version history with rollback — every settings change is snapshotted (last 20 versions kept), and one click rolls back to any prior state. The rollback itself is reversible. Privacy-first — the free version makes zero external API calls. Everything is processed locally inside WordPress. Customer/order/account data from WooCommerce is never read. Generated files /llms.txt — concise Markdown guide and index /llms-full.txt — fuller Markdown content package /llms-index.json — structured machine-readable index /llms-sitemap.xml — XML list of AI-readable resources /ai.txt — optional Spawning.ai-style training permissions file /robots.txt — integrated via WordPress’s robots_txt filter (does not write a physical file, plays well with SEO plugins) Standard features Clean Markdown conversion of your public WordPress content Two deployment modes: static files written to your site root, or virtual endpoints if root is not writable Per-post include / exclude control via a sidebar meta box Category, tag, and URL pattern exclusions Manual or scheduled regeneration via WP-Cron (daily, weekly, monthly) Live preview of the generated files before publishing What this plugin does NOT claim This plugin does not claim that ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, or any specific AI system will automatically crawl, index, train on, or use the generated files. The llms.txt and ai.txt conventions are emerging standards and adoption by individual AI providers is voluntary. Treat this plugin as making your signals available, not as a guarantee of how any specific AI service will behave.
