LLMS Discovery File Generator
Create standard llms.txt and extended llms-full.txt files so AI systems can find and understand your content.
Tool execution is available for logged-in users and visitors who've completed a free StructIQ scan.
What llms.txt and llms-full.txt do
llms.txt and llms-full.txt are AI discovery files. They act as a guide for language models, listing your most important pages, sitemaps, and how you want your content to be interpreted.
When AI crawlers understand which URLs are canonical and which resources are trustworthy, they can more reliably recommend and cite your site in answers instead of guessing across many variants or outdated paths.
Short vs full version
- llms.txt – minimal file that points AI systems at your primary sitemap and high‑value URLs.
- llms-full.txt – extended file with brand description, entity details, categories, and a richer list of key pages.
- Most sites start with
llms.txt; usellms-full.txtwhen you want to express more nuance about entities and offerings.
Where to upload these files
- Place both files in the root of your domain:
https://yourdomain.com/llms.txtand/llms-full.txt. - They should live alongside files like
robots.txtandsitemap.xml. - After uploading, open each URL in a browser to confirm they load without redirects or HTML wrappers.
For Shopify/WordPress, you'll usually upload through your hosting file manager or theme deployment pipeline so the files sit at the actual domain root—not inside a theme assets folder.
Best practices for discovery files
- Keep URLs in these files canonical—avoid tracking parameters or staging URLs.
- Update them when you add or remove major sections (new products, pricing pages, documentation hubs).
- Ensure your sitemap and llms files point to the same core page set for a consistent signal.
- Do not list private or login‑only URLs; AI crawlers should only see public, supportable pages.
