Put the answer first in every Markdown copy
A Markdown copy opens with front matter and then the main point. It repeats no text that appears on every page.
How to do it
Give the front matter the ID, the title, the tags, the update date, the token count and the licence. State the licence once in front matter, and the full credit text once in llms.txt, instead of a paragraph on every page. On a rule or product page, put the main sentence first, then the check or the price, then the details. Leave out navigation, footers and cookie text. Count the tokens as State the size of every agent file in tokens says.
Examples
Markdown example
---
id: GDE-12
title: Refund within 14 days
tags: [refunds, payments]
updated: 2026-10-01
tokens: 640
license: CC BY 4.0
---
# Refund within 14 days
Refund any order within 14 days of delivery, to the card that paid.
How to check
A script confirms that every Markdown copy has those front matter fields. No paragraph appears in more than 10 copies.
