What llms.txt is (and is not)
llms.txt is a proposal. No major crawler documents that it obeys it yet.
llms.txt is a root file some sites publish to guide AI systems toward good context. It is not a standard like robots.txt.
Publishing one does not replace robots.txt rules. Skipping one is fine.
If you publish one, keep it accurate and short; do not put secrets or internal URLs in it.
