Summary
The llms.txt proposal provides a minimal AI-focused site entry point (e.g., AIEWF 2026 uses llms.md at llms.txt) with a structure of H1, blockquote, and H2 sections linking to detail files like llms-full.txt, reducing context clutter. Adoption is mixed—Cursor references it, Google made it a Lighthouse signal—but it's a complement to robots.txt and sitemap.xml, not a replacement.
