llms.txt: A Markdown Bridge for AI-Ready Web Context

We explore a proposed standard that gives LLMs a concise, structured briefing about a website. llms.txt complements robots.txt and sitemaps by delivering AI-friendly guidance and links to detailed pages, all in a lightweight, human- and machine-readable format. Learn the required structure (site name in an H1, a brief abstract in a block quote, and H2 sections with name, URL, and description), plus an optional section for secondary info and practical tooling like llms.txt2txt. We discuss best practices for content creators and what this could unlock in AI-assisted knowledge discovery.
