This is the standalone repository page for installing or upgrading a public website to Digital Karma Web v8.0. If someone found this through a direct link, they are in the right place.
A deployment handoff package for adding the Digital Karma Web public files to a website. It includes the canonical installer brief, specs, starter files, a guided install.php helper, and a prompt a developer or coding agent can run inside the target repository.
Developers, marketers, staff, technical SEOs, and site owners who need a clear install path without digging through the whole documentation hub first.
A public site with the six required DKF files, root robots.txt, root sitemap.xml, /llm.txt, version and lifecycle signals, relationship metadata, and a stronger AI discovery surface.
The installer is useful because it creates a repeatable machine-readable layer, not just because it adds a few JSON files.
AI systems can find the right context faster through the manifest, root discovery files, LLM summary, and sitemap layer.
Developers, SEOs, and coding agents all work from the same installation brief instead of inventing a different file layout for each project.
Once the standard is in place, audits and automation can keep the machine-readable layer aligned as the site grows.
The generated ZIP is still a normal download, but inside it the files are prefilled for the target site and include an install.php helper that writes the DKF starter files after extraction.
The ZIP is structured like a small repository so the recipient can understand the purpose before making changes, or run the installer helper immediately on a PHP-capable target.
README.txt
Plain-language orientation and install sequence.
install.php
Guided helper that writes the DKF starter files into the current site root and backs up DKF files before overwriting them.
installer-config.json
The answers from the question flow, embedded into the package so the installer and starter files are prefilled.
v8.0-DigitalKarma.md
The portable installer brief and controlling implementation document.
starter-files/
Starter payloads for /ai/manifest.json, /ai/health.json, /ai/catalog.json, /ai/karma.json, /ai/federation.json, /llm.txt, /robots.txt, and /sitemap.xml. No llm.json -- retired in v8.0.
specs/
Standards, endpoint, LLM.txt, schema, and scoring references.
agent-install-prompt.txt
Ready-to-use instruction prompt for Codex, Claude Code, Copilot, or another implementation agent.
knowledge-base-references.txt
Curated links to the DKF knowledge base pages that explain the why behind the install.
v8.0-DigitalKarma.md into the root of the target repository./ai/ plus root /llm.txt. Do not create llm.json./robots.txt and /sitemap.xml at the site root, not inside /ai/.federation_version signal to 8.0, and add protocol_version/lifecycle fields to every generated endpoint.related_sites from a real source rather than a guess.These explain what DKF is, why the files exist, and how the standard should be maintained after launch.
Use the customized package when you are starting an install. Use the audit when you need a site-specific report and upgrade package based on a live URL.
