llms.txt Generator

Fill in your site name, a one-sentence summary, and the pages that matter most. The tool assembles a spec-compliant llms.txt file you can copy or download and drop at your site root.

Keep it short. This is context, not marketing copy.

Common section names: Docs, Guides, Products, Blog, About. The "Optional" section is special: spec-aware consumers may skip it when they need a shorter context.

     

    What llms.txt is

    Llms.txt is a proposed standard (see llmstxt.org): a plain markdown file served at /llms.txt that gives large language models a curated map of your site. The format is deliberately simple. An H1 with your site name, a blockquote with a one-sentence summary, optional free-text paragraphs, then H2 sections containing link lists in the form - [Page name](url): one-line description. That is the whole spec. An AI system that fetches the file gets your site's purpose and best pages in a few hundred tokens instead of crawling and guessing.

    Where to put it

    At your site root, exactly /llms.txt, the same place robots.txt lives. Subpaths and other filenames are not part of the convention and will not be found. It is a static text file, so on most stacks this means dropping the downloaded file into your public or static folder and deploying. Verify by loading yourdomain.com/llms.txt in a browser.

    The honest status note

    Llms.txt is an emerging convention, not an enforced standard. Crawlers from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Perplexity have shown interest in the format, and a growing number of documentation platforms generate it automatically, but no engine guarantees it consumes the file today. The reason to add one anyway is the cost-benefit math: maintaining it takes minutes, the downside is zero, and if adoption grows your site is already legible to the systems that increasingly answer questions about it.

    Frequently asked questions

    What is the difference between llms.txt and robots.txt?

    They answer opposite questions. Robots.txt is about permission: which URLs crawlers may or may not fetch. Llms.txt is about curation: given that an AI system is reading your site, here is what it is and which pages best represent it. Robots.txt restricts, llms.txt recommends. Most sites that care about AI visibility will end up with both.

    What is the difference between llms.txt and sitemap.xml?

    A sitemap is an exhaustive inventory of every indexable URL, built for crawlers that want completeness. Llms.txt is the opposite: a short, hand-picked reading list of your best and most representative pages, with one-line descriptions, built for systems with limited context windows. If your sitemap is the phone book, llms.txt is the business card.

    Do I also need llms-full.txt?

    Not to start. Llms-full.txt is an optional companion file that inlines the full content of your key pages into one large markdown document, so an AI system can read everything without following links. It is useful for documentation sites, but start with llms.txt: it is smaller, easier to maintain, and covers the core use case.

    Will llms.txt improve my AI citations?

    There is no guarantee. No AI provider has committed to consuming the file, so treat it as a low-cost bet rather than a ranking lever. What it does do is make your best pages easier for AI systems to find, understand, and quote correctly, which is the raw material of citations. The cost of adding it is a few minutes, so the expected value is positive even at low adoption.
