GitHub's page view opens a directory, but raw.githubusercontent.com has no directory listings, so an agent reading the raw Markdown that llms.txt points at follows these links into a 404. Every link now names the app's README.md, and the link check accepts only files. Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Closing: relative folder links are the GitHub norm and what readers expect, so they stay. Agents reading raw Markdown get a hint in llms.txt instead. |

Agents that start from dark.bio/llms.txt read this repository as raw Markdown from raw.githubusercontent.com. That host has no directory listings, so the 64 links to app directories, such as
[Go](../01-hello-go), return 404 there, while they work on github.com. A live check of the public pages found them in 23 app READMEs and 5 docs.Every such link now names the app's
README.md, which opens the same page on GitHub and a real file on the raw host. The paragraphs that grew past 80 columns are rewrapped, andtools/check.shnow accepts only files as relative link targets (-finstead of-e), so a directory link fails CI.The link check passes locally. The rest of
tools/check.shwas not run, since nothing else changed.
