Dev ships .txt versions of all docs for AI agents, asks if llms.txt actually works
Flaky-Eggplant-3479 · reddit · 2026-10-14
A developer shares that their team has generated .txt plain-text versions of all published docs and guides, specifically for AI agent consumption. They argue that as discovery shifts to agents, optimizing for the agent consumer makes sense — even though most agents probably ignore canonical robots.txt.
They haven't adopted agents.txt or llms.txt yet since no clear standard is emerging, and are asking the community whether these proposals actually provide value, or whether large context windows have made such optimization moot.
