Why it matters
llms.txt is the emerging standard for telling LLMs in a structured way what they may read.
Common causes
- The file was never created, the standard is young and the most common finding is simply: missing.
- An llms.txt exists but lists outdated URLs that lead nowhere.
- The file sits in a subdirectory instead of the web root, where no crawler looks for it.
How to fix it
Add llms.txt at the web root; list relevant content for LLM retrieval (spec: llmstxt.org).
