llms.txt is an emerging plain-text convention that tells AI crawlers how to understand a website — complementary to, not a replacement for, verified identity.
llms.txt is an emerging convention (see llmstxt.org and Chrome Lighthouse guidance) for providing a concise machine-readable overview of a website. It is optional and complementary to structured data and verified identity.
Place a short, accurate summary at /llms.txt, link primary pages, keep NAP consistent, and pair it with a public identity record so agents can reconcile claims with a traceable entity.
What is llms.txt?
It is a plain-text Markdown-oriented file at a predictable URL that summarises a site purpose, ownership, and most useful pages for large language model agents.
Does llms.txt guarantee citation?
No. It improves available context. Retrieval and recommendation decisions remain product-specific.
How does AI Verified use llms.txt?
Every passport exposes a companion at /v/{hash}/llms.txt, and the site root maintains an authoritative llms.txt linking registry and wiki surfaces.
