Building Constellation Endpoints
Step-by-step guide to creating the required constellation artifacts and discovery files for Digital Karma Web Constellation v7.1 compliance.
The 6 Required Constellation Artifacts
| Artifact | Complexity | Build Time |
|---|---|---|
/ai/manifest.json | Easy | 15 min |
/ai/health.json | Easy | 20 min |
/ai/catalog.json | Moderate | 30 min |
/ai/karma.json | Moderate | 30 min |
/ai/federation.json | Easy | 20 min |
/llm.txt | Easy | 10 min |
For v7.1 you also need /robots.txt and /sitemap.xml at the site root. These are required discovery files even though they are not part of the 6-artifact set.
manifest.json
This is your site's identity card - the first file AI agents query.
{
"name": "Your Site Name",
"description": "What your site does",
"url": "https://yoursite.com",
"federation_version": "7.1",
"updated_utc": "2026-04-22T00:00:00Z",
"contact": { "email": "admin@yoursite.com" },
"endpoints": {
"manifest": "/ai/manifest.json",
"health": "/ai/health.json",
"catalog": "/ai/catalog.json",
"karma": "/ai/karma.json",
"federation": "/ai/federation.json",
"llm_txt": "/llm.txt",
"sitemap": "/sitemap.xml"
},
"related_sites": ["https://www.aiwebsitesystems.com"]
}In v7.1, do not place robots.txt or sitemap.xml inside /ai/. They must live at the site root.
Next Steps
Once your endpoints are live, submit your site to the constellation registry. See the Standards page for full specification details.
