# Give AI tools a site guide

By Erik Bergstedt, Agent Wranglers. Updated 2026-10-20.

- Level: Recommended
- Chapter: [Ready for AI agents](https://agentwranglers.se/playbook/website/ready-for-ai-agents)
- Rule: Publish `/llms.txt`, a short Markdown guide to your site for AI tools. Give the site's name, a one-line summary, and links to the Markdown version of each important page.
- How: Follow the format at llmstxt.org. Start with `# Name` and a `> summary` line, then a short paragraph. Then add `##` sections with `- [Title](https://…/page.md): description` lines. A section named `## Optional` holds links an agent may skip. Build it from your page list, so it never lists a missing page. llms.txt is a community proposal, not a standard. Google has said it does not use it, and most AI crawlers do not fetch it yet. Coding agents and documentation tools do read it.
- Check: Fetch it. It answers 200 as `text/markdown` or `text/plain`, starts with one `#` heading, and every linked page answers 200.

Example:

```text
# Example Co

> Example Co fixes leaky roofs in Springfield, same week.

We are a family roofing firm. Book a free inspection online.
