llms.txt is a plain-text file at /llms.txt that gives AI engines a curated, link-rich summary of a site to ground from, analogous to robots.txt for crawlers. It follows the llmstxt.org convention, and a companion /llms-full.txt carries the concatenated full text. Both should serve HTTP 200 directly, never redirects.

GEO (Generative Engine Optimization)
Generative Engine Optimization is the practice of making a page easy for generative engines such as ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Gemini to ground their answers in. It requires content that LLM crawlers like GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot can index, written with specific dated facts and plain-language explainers.

robots.txt
robots.txt is a plain-text file at /robots.txt that tells crawlers which paths they are allowed to fetch. It can explicitly allow named crawlers, such as GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended and Bingbot, and disallow private paths like /manage. Allowing AI crawlers is a deliberate choice so pages can be cited in AI answers.
