Abstract:

   This document defines ai-safety.txt, a plain-text declaration format
   that a domain publishes at a well-known location to communicate its
   AI-safety posture to autonomous agents and agent-driven browsers.
   Modeled on the robots.txt convention, an ai-safety.txt file lets a
   domain assert, in a machine-readable form, whether its content is
   authored by the domain rather than user-generated, whether that
   content is hardened against prompt injection, and whether it is
   rendered consistently to human and agent user agents.  The file also
   carries a security contact, a link to an external verification
   record, and the date the declaration was last verified.

   The declarations in an ai-safety.txt file are self-asserted by the
   publishing domain.  This document specifies the file format and its
   well-known location, and it is explicit that a consuming agent treats
   a declaration as a hint rather than as proof, verifying it against
   independent evidence where such evidence is available.
