llms.txt is a proposed document standard by Jeremy Howard for enabling LLMs to make use of a website at inference time.

llms.txt is based on Markdown meaning it is human and machine readable. It adopts a precise structure enabling "fixed processing methods".

Proposed structure

The structure is proposed as follows:

• An H1 with the name of the project or site. This is the only required section
• A blockquote with a short summary of the project, containing key information necessary for understanding the rest of the file
• Zero or more markdown sections (e.g. paragraphs, lists, etc) of any type except headings, containing more detailed information about the project and how to interpret the provided files
• Zero or more markdown sections delimited by H2 headers, containing “file lists” of URLs where further detail is available

• Each “file list” is a markdown list, containing a required markdown hyperlink [name](url), then optionally a : and notes about the file.

Example

An example might look as follows (from the documentation):

# Title

> Optional description goes here

Optional details go here

## Section name

- [Link title](https://link_url): Optional link details

## Optional

- [Link title](https://link_url)
