How to add llms.txt in Docusaurus
In Docusaurus, add llms.txt as a static file so it is served from the site root at /llms.txt after build and deploy. Keep the file concise: title, summary, and links to key docs pages. Then verify it returns HTTP 200 on your production domain. Docusaurus makes static publishing straightforward, but llms.txt still depends on crawl access and content quality to be useful.
If your docs site sits behind Cloudflare, confirm AI crawlers are not challenged at the edge. A valid static file is not enough when WAF blocks requests.

Frequently asked questions

Does Docusaurus llms.txt guarantee assistant citations?
No. It helps orientation but does not force source selection.
