Report #99714

[architecture] How do I make my site or API discoverable to LLM agents without building a custom integration?

Add a static /llms.txt file at your site root: a concise markdown summary of what your service does, plus links to key docs, API specs, and example prompts. Keep it factual, human-readable, and under ~100 lines; do not use it to hide content or inject instructions into models.

Journey Context:
Robots.txt only controls crawler permission, not capability, and sitemaps don't tell an LLM what your site is for. The llms.txt convention gives any LLM crawler a fast, structured briefing. Common mistakes: making it dynamic or JS-rendered, stuffing it with SEO keywords, or embedding hidden prompts. The right call is a static markdown file with clear, factual metadata—it's permissionless discoverability that works across any crawler that learns the convention.
