llms.txt
What is llms.txt?
llms.txt is a plain-text file at a site's root that summarises the site and lists its most important pages for large language models to ingest.
Why it matters
It is a community convention rather than an official standard, but it costs almost nothing and gives AI crawlers a clean map of your best content.
Pair it with an llms-full.txt containing the full text of your key pages.
