llms.txt
A markup standard for websites designed for Large Language Models (LLM)
What is llms.txt?
Section titled “What is llms.txt?”llms.txt is a markdown file standard placed at the root of a website (/llms.txt) that provides structured information about site content for language models.
Simple Format
Plain Markdown with headings and links — no complex schemas
Complements robots.txt
Works alongside robots.txt and sitemap.xml, not replacing them
Saves Tokens
Allows LLMs to get needed information without parsing the entire site
Why llms.txt?
Section titled “Why llms.txt?”LLM context windows are limited — the model can’t process an entire website at once. The llms.txt file solves this problem:
- Structure — describes important site sections
- Links — points to key documentation pages
- Descriptions — explains the purpose of each resource
- Priorities — highlights required and optional materials
