llms.txt
Definition
A proposed convention for a plain-text file at the root of a website that orients AI systems: what the site is, what it offers, and where its key pages are. An emerging standard with growing adoption, not yet universally read.
The idea parallels robots.txt: a stable, predictable place for machine guidance. An llms.txt file gives a language model a clean summary and a map of canonical URLs, which beats forcing it to infer both from navigation menus.
We publish one at agentfaro.com/llms.txt, along with an expanded companion file and per-assistant documents, and we are plain about which of these are established conventions and which are forward bets. Details on our For AI page.
