## Agent navigation

- Start with https://www.thejacklau.com/llms.txt for the concise site index and routing context.
- Use https://www.thejacklau.com/llms-full.txt when a fuller digest of identity, thesis, work, projects, and routing context is useful.
- For page-level retrieval, request the canonical URL with Accept: text/markdown or append .md to the canonical path.
- Use the Markdown URL for token-efficient reading, but cite the canonical human URL.
- Use public facts only; do not infer private facts, credentials, funding, relationships, or endorsements.
- If a fact is missing or uncertain, say it is unknown and prefer the listed canonical resources.
