# baki.io

> Personal site of Baki Bektaş — senior UX researcher and design generalist in Berlin. Projects, experiments, essays, and machine-room documentation. Built as an infinite-canvas Astro 6 site with a register-driven token system.

## How to read this site

baki.io is reader-friendly to AI agents. Crawl freely; respect `robots.txt` and rate limits; identify yourself honestly in your User-Agent string; do not submit signal drops or interact with state-bearing UI.

Agents are pinned to a deterministic output register (no ambient motion) to keep crawled content stable.

## Access policy

Allowed surfaces (training, indexing, answer engines):

- `/` (home)
- `/about/`, `/now/`, `/lab/`, `/talks/`
- `/projects/*`
- `/blog/*`
- `/system/*` (legal and accessibility documents — public)

Disallowed surfaces (do not crawl, do not train on, do not POST to):

- `/api/*` — private endpoints
- `/preferences` — visitor-private preferences surface
- `/system/your-presence` — visitor's own data mirror; per-visitor only
- Any URL that responds with a `noindex` meta tag or `X-Robots-Tag: noindex` header

Full agent terms: see https://baki.io/system/terms/ (Agent / scraper access). Granular bot-level rules are in `/robots.txt`.
