llms.txt Generator
Generate a well-structured /llms.txt file following the llmstxt.org specification proposed by Jeremy Howard.
What is llms.txt?
A markdown file that helps LLMs understand and use a project/website efficiently. It provides:
- •Concise project overview
- •Links to key documentation with descriptions
- •Organized sections for different resource types
Generation Process
- •
Analyze the project structure using Glob to find:
- •README files
- •Documentation directories (
docs/,documentation/,wiki/) - •API documentation
- •Example files and tutorials
- •Configuration files that explain the project
- •Source code entry points
- •
Identify key information:
- •Project name and purpose
- •Main features and capabilities
- •Important caveats or limitations
- •Dependencies and requirements
- •
Generate the llms.txt following this exact format:
markdown
# Project Name > Brief description of the project in 1-2 sentences. Include the most critical information needed to understand what this project does. Key notes (if any important caveats exist): - Important limitation or compatibility note - Another critical detail ## Docs - [Doc Title](url): Brief description of what this doc covers ## Examples - [Example Title](url): What this example demonstrates ## API - [API Reference](url): Description of API coverage ## Optional - [Secondary Resource](url): Less critical but potentially useful
Format Rules
- •H1 (Required): Project/site name - this is the ONLY required section
- •Blockquote: Short summary with key context (highly recommended)
- •Body text: Important notes, caveats, or guidance (optional)
- •H2 Sections: Categorized lists of resources with URLs and descriptions
- •Optional Section: Resources that can be skipped for shorter context
Best Practices
- •Be concise: LLMs have limited context windows
- •Prioritize: Put most important resources first
- •Describe well: Each link should have a brief, informative description
- •Use "Optional" wisely: Secondary resources that aren't always needed
- •Avoid jargon: Explain terms that aren't universally known
- •Include external links: Reference external docs if helpful (e.g., framework docs)
URL Handling
- •For websites: Use absolute URLs (
https://example.com/docs/api.md) - •For repositories: Use relative paths or raw GitHub URLs
- •Suggest creating
.mdversions of HTML pages at same URL +.mdextension
Output
Write the generated llms.txt to:
- •
$ARGUMENTSif provided - •Otherwise, project root as
llms.txt
After generating, briefly explain what was included and why.
Reference Examples

Note: This skill does not require external scripts. The analysis and generation is performed directly using available tools (Glob, Grep, Read) to understand the project structure and generate appropriate content.
