# llms.txt Generator
Generate a well-structured `/llms.txt` file following the [llmstxt.org](https://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
1. **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
2. **Identify key information**:
- Project name and purpose
- Main features and capabilities
- Important caveats or limitations
- Dependencies and requirements
3. **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
1. **H1 (Required)**: Project/site name - this is the ONLY required section
2. **Blockquote**: Short summary with key context (highly recommended)
3. **Body text**: Important notes, caveats, or guidance (optional)
4. **H2 Sections**: Categorized lists of resources with URLs and descriptions
5. **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 `.md` versions of HTML pages at same URL + `.md` extension
## Output
Write the generated `llms.txt` to:
- `$ARGUMENTS` if 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.
