llms.txt

llms.txt is a proposed convention: a Markdown file at a site's root that summarises the site and links its most useful pages for language models. It is a pointer, not a ranking signal, and nothing obliges a model to read it.

How it differs from a sitemap and robots.txt

  • robots.txt — which paths crawlers may request.
  • sitemap — the list of URLs to crawl, for search engines.
  • llms.txt — a short, human-readable map of what matters, for models.

What it does not do

It does not make a model cite you, and it does not replace readable pages. Ours is at /llms.txt; the pages it points to are what carry the facts.
