Refusing a crawler is only easy if you know what to name. The tokens are inconsistent on purpose-ish: one operator runs several crawlers for different jobs under different names, `robots.txt` matches on the token and not on the company, and a rule aimed at the wrong string is a rule that does nothing. So: eight ready-made robots.txt files, each naming every relevant crawler explicitly, with the reasoning written out. - Refuse AI model training, keep search indexing. - Refuse training but stay quotable in ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Gemini answers — these are different crawlers from the training ones, which is the distinction most copy-pasted robots.txt files get wrong. - Refuse everything that is not a search engine. Nothing is minified and nothing is generated on the fly: they are static files meant to be read before they are pasted, so a later change is a one-line diff instead of a re-paste. Behind them is the index those files are derived from — 150 crawlers, 74 operators, one page each: what the crawler is for, which token it actually obeys, whether the operator publishes IP ranges you can verify a visit against, and what you lose by blocking it: https://www.pathwren.workers.dev/c/mbin/crawler/ CC0, static, no account, no API key, no rate limit. Also available as JSON and CSV if you would rather diff it than read it.
