Rule page.content.atomic-answer-missing
Open with a one-paragraph direct answer
page.content.atomic-answer-missing is a check in Crawlmind's site audit that grades high-impact issues of this kind. This page explains why the rule matters and the exact fix.
Why it matters
AI assistants extract by paragraph. Pages that bury the answer ten paragraphs into a story-shaped intro rarely get cited: Perplexity, ChatGPT search, and Google's AI Overviews all reward pages that put the direct answer in the first ~100 words. This is the single highest-leverage edit for AI citation share.
The fix
Pattern: **direct-answer paragraph → context → details**.
```markdown
# How to publish an llms.txt
> Put a plain-text file at `/llms.txt` on your domain with a markdown
> H1, a one-line `>` blockquote summary, and at least one `## Section`
> of bullet-link items pointing at your key pages. The whole file is
> usually under 50 lines.
AI assistants read llms.txt to decide which of your pages to focus on...
```
The blockquote convention is optional but signals "this is the headline" to both readers and crawlers.
