llms.txt Rules

Name: llms-txt
Author: ncosentino

Purpose

llms.txt is an optional informal proposal for a concise, machine-readable map of a site. Adoption and vendor consumption are not guaranteed, and it is neither a robots.txt replacement nor an IETF/W3C crawler-control standard.

When selected, it lives in public/ and is served at the site root. Keep it because it is low-cost, factual discovery metadata that compatible tools may consume, not because it has a proven ranking or citation effect.

Discovery

When the project ships the file, retain its low-cost <head> discovery link:

<link rel="alternate" type="text/plain" href="/llms.txt" />

This link is a discoverability hint, not proof that a crawler reads the file.

Required structure

# SiteName

> One-line description of the site/organization and what it does.

## Pages

- [Home](https://yourdomain.com): What the homepage covers
- [About](https://yourdomain.com/about): Who runs this, background, mission
- [Services](https://yourdomain.com/services): What services are offered

## Contact

- Email: contact@yourdomain.com
- Location: City, State (if applicable)
- Phone: (if applicable)

Content guidelines

Be factual and specific; automated tools may quote or summarize this content
Use the full canonical URL for every link
Describe each page in one clear sentence
Include the most important pages — not every page
Update when pages are added or removed
Do not include marketing language or superlatives
Include contact information if publicly available
Keep crawler permissions in robots.txt; llms.txt does not grant or deny access

For content-heavy sites

Add sections for content categories:

## Blog

- [Latest posts](https://yourdomain.com/blog): Technology articles and tutorials
- [Category: .NET](https://yourdomain.com/blog/category/dotnet): C# and .NET content

## Videos

- [All videos](https://yourdomain.com/videos): Video content library

Do NOT include

Secrets, API keys, or internal URLs
Passwords or authentication endpoints
Private/draft content URLs
Personally identifiable information beyond what's publicly available on the site
