llms-txtlisted

Generate and maintain llms.txt -- the curated markdown map a website, docs directory, repo, or knowledge vault publishes at its root so agents can orient in one fetch. Fires on three branches: creating one ("add llms.txt", "make my site/docs/repo agent-readable", GEO/AEO asks); refreshing an existing llms.txt after content changed (minimal diff, stable ordering); and checking one ("is my llms.txt valid or stale?"). Whole-repo release packaging is burnish's job -- it routes here for this one artifact; compiling sources into a knowledge vault is wiki-it's job. llms-txt maps content that already exists.

# llms-txt llms.txt is robots.txt inverted: not what a crawler may read, but the fastest true path through what it should. One markdown file at the corpus root -- a title, a blockquote summary, and sections of links with one-line descriptions -- so orientation costs an agent one fetch instead of a crawl through HTML built for humans. It is a derived artifact, and stability is the contract: the map is regenerated from the corpus, never hand-grown. Rerun on an unchanged corpus, the file is byte-identical; refresh after a change, and only the entries whose sources changed move. A map that drifts from its territory is worse than no map -- agents trust the map first. ## Gate Honesty first: evidence that classic search crawlers fetch llms.txt is thin. Its real consumers are agents fetching docs on demand and humans loading docs into context. Sell it as agent-legibility; treat GEO/SEO as possible upside, never the promise. | Situation | Move | |---|---| | Goal is ranking in classic search | Not this file -- improve the docs and page metadata themselves. | | Private corpus for your own agents | That is a vault's index.md (wiki-it), not a published map. | | Whole-repo release polish | burnish's job; it routes back here for this one artifact. | | Corpus is a single README | The README already is the map. Skip. | | Site, docs dir, repo, or vault that agents will read | Build the map. | ## The format The shape, per the llms.txt proposal: ```markdown # Project Name > One-paragrap
