llms.txt

What this is

llms.txt is an informal convention: a Markdown file at /llms.txt giving AI assistants and crawlers a curated summary of your site — a title, a short description, and links to the pages that matter most.

How to read your result

Absence is normal today. If present, it should start with a top-level "# Title" heading and list key links. This tool reports whether the file exists and follows the basic shape.

Common problems and how to fix them

File exists but lacks the expected structure

How it shows up: Tools that consume llms.txt may ignore a file without the conventional "# Title" opening.

How to fix it: Start the file with "# Your Site Name", optionally a one-line blockquote summary, then Markdown link lists to your most authoritative pages.

Unrealistic expectations of what llms.txt does

How it shows up: Publishing the file changes nothing observable; AI tools keep summarizing the site their own way.

How to fix it: Treat it as a low-cost hint, not a control mechanism: there is no standard obliging crawlers to honor it. Use robots.txt for access control; llms.txt only suggests what to read.
