what is llms.txt?
llms.txt is a plain markdown file at the root of your site (yoursite.com/llms.txt) that tells AI assistants what the site is and where the important pages are. think of it as a sitemap written for language models: a title, a one-line summary, a few sentences of context, then links.
you can see ours at commi.today/llms.txt: it lists the latest updates founders shipped, so assistants can find and quote them.
how to use the result
- rewrite the summary line and the short paragraph to say who your product is for and what it does. this is the part assistants quote.
- remove pages that don't help (tag pages, logins), and group the rest under headings like "## Docs" or "## Blog".
- save it as llms.txt in your site's public folder, so it opens at yoursite.com/llms.txt.
- then check that AI crawlers can actually read your site with the AI crawler checker.
questions
+do AI assistants actually read llms.txt?
it's a young, proposed standard. some assistants and AI tools use it, others don't yet. it takes minutes to add, costs nothing, and gives every assistant a clear summary to work from.
+where do the pages come from?
from your sitemap: the one named in your robots.txt, or /sitemap.xml. if your site has no sitemap, you get a starting point with just your home page.
+should llms.txt replace my sitemap?
no. keep your sitemap for search engines; llms.txt is a short, readable summary next to it.
+is anything stored?
no. the file is made on the spot and shown to you; nothing about your site is kept.
