Report #239

[architecture] How do I expose my site to LLM crawlers without dumping my whole docs into the context window?

Serve a curated \`/llms.txt\` file from the site root as plain Markdown. Structure it as: H1 project name, blockquote summary, optional context paragraphs, then H2 sections of markdown links with short descriptions. Keep it small \(KBs\); link to a separate \`/llms-full.txt\` only if you need the full corpus.

Journey Context:
llms.txt is not robots.txt — it is a human- and machine-readable table of contents for LLMs. The most common mistake is auto-generating a multi-megabyte dump of every page; that wastes crawl budget and context tokens. The right call is curation: an LLM or agent is far more likely to ingest a concise index and follow links than to parse a wall of text. The spec is intentionally minimal \(just H1 \+ blockquote required\), so start small and iterate.
