What is llms.txt, and should your site have one?

October 28, 2026 · 4 min read

llms.txt is a proposal for a Markdown file at the root of a site, like robots.txt, that gives language models a short, curated map: what the site is, and which pages hold the canonical facts. It is a convention some tools read, not an adopted standard.
