Docusaurus llms.txt Generator

A Docusaurus plugin that generates a concatenated markdown file from your documentation under /llms.txt. This plugin helps make your documentation AI-friendly by following the llms.txt specification, allowing AI models to better understand and process your documentation.

What is llms.txt?

llms.txt is a standard that helps AI models better understand your documentation by providing it in a single, concatenated file. This can improve the quality of AI responses when users ask questions about your project.

Installation

npm install docusaurus-plugin-generate-llms-txt
# or
yarn add docusaurus-plugin-generate-llms-txt

Usage

Add the plugin to your docusaurus.config.js:

// docusaurus.config.js
module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    [
      "docusaurus-plugin-generate-llms-txt",
      {
        outputFile: "llms.txt", // defaults to llms.txt if not specified
      },
    ],
    // other plugins...
  ],
};

The plugin will generate the llms.txt file in the following scenarios:

• When running yarn start (development mode)
• When running yarn build (production build)

You can also manually generate the file by running:

yarn docusaurus generate-llms-txt

Configuration Options

Option	Type	Default	Description
outputFile	string	'llms.txt'	The name of the output file

Documentation Structure

⚠️ Note: This plugin makes some assumptions about the structure of your docs:

• The docs directory contains your documentation
• Each category has a _category_.yml file that contains the category metadata
• Each page has frontmatter metadata
• For top-level Markdown pages, there is a sidebar_position field in the metadata

Example structure:

docs/
├── my-first-category/
│   ├── _category_.yml
│   ├── ...
│   ├── some-sub-page.md
├── my-second-category/
│   ├── _category_.yml
│   ├── ...
│   ├── some-sub-page.md
├── some-top-level-page.md
└── ...
