What is llms.txt?
llms.txt is a convention for helping AI agents navigate websites.
Like robots.txt tells crawlers what to index, llms.txt
tells agents what content exists and how to find it.
Our Implementation
Complyant provides llms.txt at two levels:
Global Index
GET https://complyant.ai/llms.txt Returns a complete site overview: what regulations exist, how to access different content types, topic routing guidance, and links to per-regulation indexes.
Per-Regulation Index
GET https://complyant.ai/regulations/uk/gdpr/llms.txt Returns a detailed map of that regulation: all sections, what each covers, and direct paths to specific topics.
Example Usage
An agent answering "When is consent valid under GDPR?" might:
- Fetch
/llms.txtto find GDPR exists at/regulations/uk/gdpr - Fetch
/regulations/uk/gdpr/llms.txtto find the consent section - Fetch
/regulations/uk/gdpr/consent.mdto get the answer
Format
Our llms.txt files include:
- Site description — What Complyant is
- Available regulations — List with links
- Topic routing — Which regulation covers which topics
- Access instructions — How to fetch markdown vs HTML
- Section index — For per-regulation files, a map of all chunks
Agent Instructions
Our llms.txt includes guidance for agents on citing sources. When using Complyant content, agents should preserve legal citations (e.g., [Art 6]) in their responses to users.
