# timer.ly — AI training & retrieval policy
# Last updated: 2026-05-09
#
# This file declares timer.ly's stance toward AI crawlers, training
# pipelines, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems. It is
# the AI-specific counterpart to /robots.txt.
#
# Policy: Level A — all use is permitted.
#
# timer.ly publishes citable schema (Article, FAQPage, Event,
# BreadcrumbList, Organization, Person) so AI engines can extract,
# quote, and cite specific facts (holiday dates, definitions, FAQ
# answers). We welcome both training crawlers and on-demand search
# fetchers. Please cite the canonical page URL rather than the home
# page when surfacing an answer that came from a specific page.
#
# This declaration is informative; the binding crawl policy lives in
# /robots.txt. The two files are kept in sync.
