llms-txt

Audit and improve `/llms.txt`, a curated starting point for AI tools browsing documentation. Check its location, the usefulness and accessibility of linked pages, and its separation from existing crawl and indexing controls.

OriginalShow the original description

Use when auditing public documentation portals, API references, help centers, SDK docs, or large knowledge bases. Check the final file served at `/llms.txt` and verify that the linked pages are stable, high-value, and accessible without relying on a JavaScript-only interface.

AI rating100/ 100See how to install

Good for

  • Audit llms.txt on a public documentation site
  • Select useful API references and getting-started guides
  • Check documentation links for availability
  • Review the roles of llms.txt and robots.txt

Overview

What it does

Review /llms.txt on a public documentation site and organize an entry point that helps AI tools reach important information. The skill checks whether the file is at the root of the production domain and whether it selects useful, stable pages, such as getting-started guides and API references. It also checks whether linked pages return HTTP 200 and whether their content is accessible without relying entirely on JavaScript.

When it helps

Use it for sites with many public pages, including API references, SDK documentation, and help centers. It helps when you want to select the most worthwhile documents instead of listing every URL, or when you need to review an existing delivery configuration.

Example requests

  • "Review this public site's /llms.txt and the pages it links to."
  • "Organize llms.txt around our getting-started guides and API documentation."

Notes

llms.txt does not replace robots.txt or an XML sitemap. Avoid linking to private documents or pages that require authentication. A companion llms-full.txt, which collects the full text, is optional. Consider it when you can keep its contents updated over time.

Objective evaluation

AI rated this skill on four points using only the contents of its SKILL.md. Stars and popularity are not taken into account.

Clear instructionsIs it clear when to use it and what it does?
AGoodThe material specifies public documentation audits and checks for file location, link quality, and accessibility.
Concrete stepsAre steps, inputs, outputs, and examples spelled out?
AGoodInstructions specify root placement, a short project description, curated links, and HTTP 200 checks.
SafetyAre sending data, deleting files, and running commands disclosed?
AGoodThe review explicitly flags exposure of private or authentication-only documents, defining the scope of public links.
Easy setupDoes it need few tools or API keys, and are they documented?
AGoodThe task concerns public documents and served files, with no dedicated tools or API keys specified.

Publish llms.txt for documentation-heavy sites

Documentation portals often bury the most important pages behind dense navigation, search UIs, or framework-specific layouts. A curated llms.txt gives AI tools a cleaner entry point without replacing the normal crawl and indexing mechanisms of the web described by the llms.txt convention.

Quick Reference

  • Serve llms.txt at the root (/llms.txt on the production domain) if you run a docs-heavy site
  • Curate a short list of stable, high-signal docs pages instead of dumping every URL
  • Use llms-full.txt only as an optional companion when you can keep it current
  • Keep crawl and indexing controls in robots.txt; llms.txt does not replace them

Check

Check whether this documentation-heavy site publishes llms.txt at the root and whether it contains a curated set of stable, high-value links such as getting-started guides, API references, concepts, and examples. Confirm that linked URLs return HTTP 200 and that llms.txt is not being treated as a replacement for robots.txt or XML sitemaps.

Fix

Add llms.txt at the site root with a short description of the project and a curated list of the most useful documentation URLs. If the docs set is large and you can maintain it, add an optional llms-full.txt companion and link to it from llms.txt. Keep crawl directives in robots.txt.

Explain

Explain what llms.txt is, why it can help documentation-heavy sites give AI tools a cleaner starting point, why llms-full.txt is optional, and why traditional crawl controls still belong in robots.txt.

Code Review

Review route handlers, static files, or framework metadata output related to llms.txt. Flag sites that publish the file outside the root path, link to low-value or unstable pages, expose private/auth-only docs, or imply that llms.txt replaces crawl/indexing controls like robots.txt or sitemaps.
