At a glance

This free Clioos llms.txt generator helps you draft a site llms.txt (and an optional llms-full.txt outline) from a site name, summary, and important links — then copy or download the file. The checker validates pasted Markdown structure or fetches a public https://{host}/llms.txt. It follows the llmstxt.org convention and does not crawl your whole site or claim that publishing the file will make AI engines cite you.

Publishing llms.txt does not guarantee AI citations.

How it works

1

Generate

Enter site name, optional summary/details, homepage URL, and important links. We template a spec-ordered llms.txt. Optionally sketch an llms-full.txt outline. Copy or download .txt.

2

Check

Paste an existing body, or point at a public URL. We report whether it looks like llms.txt, whether an H1 is present, section count, and structural warnings.

3

Place the file

Put llms.txt at your site root (e.g. public/llms.txt) so https://yoursite.com/llms.txt returns the file.

4

Optional next step

After you ship the file, open AI Visibility Lite to spot-check whether AI answers mention your brand (official APIs; 3 free checks per email, one-time). We still do not promise citations.

FAQ

What is an llms.txt file?

llms.txt is a proposed site root file (see llmstxt.org) that gives language models a short, structured Markdown map of your project — title, optional summary, and curated links — so tools can discover important pages without guessing from a full HTML crawl.

Does publishing llms.txt guarantee AI citations?

No. Publishing llms.txt does not guarantee AI citations, rankings, or traffic. Treat it as a helpful signal and documentation aid, not a ranking promise.

Is this the official llmstxt.org tool?

No. This is a free tool by Clioos. We are not affiliated with llmstxt.org. We aim for spec-compliant output and link to the specification for authors of the proposal.

What does the free llms.txt generator create?

A Markdown body in llmstxt.org-oriented order: required H1 title, optional blockquote summary, optional detail paragraphs, then ## sections of - [name](url): notes links, plus an optional ## Optional section. You can also sketch an llms-full.txt outline. Copy or download as .txt.

What does the llms.txt checker look for?

Whether the body looks like llms.txt, whether an H1 is present, how many sections it has, and structural warnings. For URL checks it requests the public path and reports status (for example missing file vs malformed structure). It does not log into private sites or crawl the whole domain.

Do I need an account, and is there a fee?

Basic generate/check use is free and does not require an account. This page has no subscription or check packs. If you want brand mention spot-checks in AI answers, that is a separate Clioos tool: AI Visibility Lite at /ai-visibility/.

Where should I put the file on my site?

Serve it at https://your-domain/llms.txt (site root). On many static or Next.js apps that means placing llms.txt in the public/ folder (or equivalent) so it is publicly reachable.

After I publish llms.txt, what should I do next?

Optionally open AI Visibility Lite to run free spot-checks (3 per email, one-time; email required) on whether OpenAI or Perplexity answers mention your brand for buyer questions. That tool also does not promise citations — it only reports mentions in official API snapshots.
