Robots Sitemap Validator

Robots Sitemap Validator

Detect common local robots.txt and sitemap.xml mistakes that can hurt crawling. This detector does not fetch, submit, or change live sites.

Workflow

1. Run scripts/scan_robots_sitemap.py with a folder, files, or --stdin.
2. Review findings by rule id, severity, file, and line.
3. Treat missing sibling sitemap files as review flags when robots.txt references them.

Guardrails

• Read local files or stdin only.
• Do not fetch live URLs or submit sitemaps.
• Do not modify robots.txt or sitemap files.

Verification

Run python scripts/scan_robots_sitemap.py --help first. Then use a disposable folder to verify both outcomes:

1. A robots.txt containing User-agent: * and Disallow: / must report RSV001.
2. A robots.txt with an absolute Sitemap: URL plus a matching, well-formed local sitemap.xml must produce zero findings.
