What Is llms.txt?

llms.txt is a proposed markdown file, separate from robots.txt, designed to give AI systems a clean, prioritized map of a website's most important content and pages.

llms.txt is a proposed convention, not a confirmed ranking or crawling standard adopted by all major AI platforms — treat it as a low-cost addition, not a replacement for sitemaps or robots.txt.
