What Is llms.txt? How to Create One for Your Website (With Nepal Examples)

Short answer: llms.txt is a Markdown file placed at the root of a website (for example yoursite.com/llms.txt) that gives large language models a concise, curated overview of the site and links to its most important pages. It was proposed as a simple, machine-friendly companion to robots.txt and sitemap.xml.

How is llms.txt different from robots.txt and sitemap.xml?

• robots.txt tells crawlers what they may or may not access.
• sitemap.xml lists every URL for search engines to discover.
• llms.txt explains, in readable text, what your business is and which pages matter most, with short descriptions an AI can quote.

What should an llms.txt file contain?

1. A title line with your business name.
2. A short blockquote summary: what you do, where, and for whom.
3. Contact details.
4. Sections of links with one-line descriptions, such as Services, Blog and Company pages.
5. An optional section pointing to the sitemap and a longer file.

What is llms-full.txt?

llms-full.txt is an optional extended version that includes the full text of your key pages in one file, so an AI can read your content without crawling dozens of URLs.

Should the file be static or dynamic?

Dynamic is better. A hand-written file goes stale the moment you add a service or blog post. Generating llms.txt from your CMS or API means new pages appear automatically. This is how we build it for client sites: the file reads from the same data source as the website itself and refreshes on a schedule.

Does llms.txt guarantee AI citations?

No. It is a proposed convention, and AI providers have not all confirmed they use it. It costs little to add and makes your site easier for any tool to summarize, so it is a sensible low-risk step alongside good content, schema markup and crawler access.
