How do I write an llms.txt file?
Short answer
Write llms.txt in Markdown: a first-level heading with your site name, a blockquote with a one or two sentence summary, then second-level sections that each list links in the form - [Name](URL): short note. Put the file at your domain root and keep it short and factual.
The format
- One
#heading with the name of the site or project. - A blockquote (
>) with a short summary of what the site is. - Optional paragraphs with key facts.
- One or more
##sections, each a list of links with a note after a colon.

- State facts you can stand behind. Prices, locations and features should match your site.
- Link to your most useful pages, not every page. Ten to thirty links is plenty.
- Where you can, link to clean Markdown versions of pages, which are easier for tools to read.
- Update it when your product or pricing changes.
- Serve it as plain text or Markdown from
/llms.txt.
