llms.txt

The llms.txt file is an industry standard that helps LLMs index content more efficiently, similar to how a sitemap helps search engines.

Mintlify automatically hosts an llms.txt file at the root of your project that lists all available pages in your documentation. AI tools can use this file to understand your documentation structure and find relevant content to user prompts.

View your llms.txt by appending /llms.txt to your documentation site’s URL.

Your site’s llms.txt is always up to date and requires zero maintenance.

​

llms.txt structure

An llms.txt file is a plain Markdown file that contains:

• Site title as an H1 heading. This is the only required section of an llms.txt.
• Structured content sections with descriptive links to key pages.

# Example product docs

## Guides
- [Getting started](https://example.com/docs/start): Intro guide
- [Install](https://example.com/docs/install): Setup steps

## Reference
- [API](https://example.com/docs/api): Endpoint list and usage

This structured approach allows LLMs to quickly process your documentation hierarchy and locate relevant content for user queries, improving the accuracy and speed of AI-assisted documentation searches.

llms-full.txt

The llms-full.txt file combines your entire documentation site into a single file as context for AI tools and is indexed by LLM traffic. Users can paste a single URL as context for AI tools for more relevant and accurate responses.

Mintlify automatically hosts an llms-full.txt file at the root of your project. View your llms-full.txt by appending /llms-full.txt to your documentation site’s URL.

Your site’s llms-full.txt is always up to date and requires zero maintenance.
