# Cut Out + Keep

> Cut Out + Keep is a public library of step-by-step craft tutorials, recipes, and handmade project ideas.

Use the canonical HTML pages for normal browsing and indexing. Use the Markdown alternates when you need compact, agent-readable content.

## Browse

- [Project search and listings](https://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects) - Browse tutorials and creations. Add `.md` to listing URLs for Markdown, for example `/projects.md`, `/projects/popular.md`, or `/projects/category/food-drink.md`.
- [Popular projects](https://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/popular) - High-signal tutorials and creations.
- [Featured projects](https://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/featured) - Editorially featured project listings.
- [Craft categories](https://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/categories) - Browse by craft category.
- [Sitemap index](https://www.cutoutandkeep.net/sitemap) - XML sitemap index for broad discovery.

## Markdown URL Patterns

- Project listing Markdown: `https://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects.md`
- Filtered listing Markdown: `https://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/category/{category}.md`, `https://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/tagged/{tag}.md`, `https://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/using/{material}.md`
- Project page Markdown: `https://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/{project-permalink}.md`

## Project Markdown Contains

- Canonical HTML URL
- Project title, author, category, craft area, published date, difficulty, cost, time, favorites, and tags
- Summary and materials
- Step-by-step instructions for tutorials
- Links back to relevant listing pages

## Crawling Notes

- Respect `robots.txt`, page-level robots directives, and HTTP cache headers.
- `/llms.txt` is the canonical guide; `/.well-known/llms.txt` redirects here for clients that probe `.well-known` compatibility paths.
- Prefer canonical HTML URLs for citation and user-facing links.
- Use Markdown alternates to extract concise text when the HTML page contains navigation, adverts, or interactive UI.
