> Personal website of bntvllnt: an AI automation systems expert lab covering essays, tutorials, public tools, and cross-domain thinking that route readers toward technical authority on GitHub and the broader vllnt ecosystem.

## Purpose
- This is the personal website of bntvllnt: a pseudonymous builder, writer, privacy advocate, and minimalist focused on systems, leverage, and independence.
- It is the lab surface in a 3-surface ecosystem: personal site and lab (bntvllnt.com) -> technical authority (GitHub) -> product and tooling ecosystem (vllnt).
- AI automation systems are the lead theme, but the site is broader than AI alone.
- Human-facing content is primarily English under /en, with French adaptations under /fr.
- The llms manifests stay at the root to give assistants a stable, non-localized entrypoint.

## Usage notes
- Treat documented API routes as public website endpoints, not a stable versioned SDK.
- Some endpoints are rate limited and validate URLs to block private-network access.
- Prefer /llms-full.txt when you need the expanded catalog of writing, tutorials, tools, and routes.
