Five complete files for five kinds of site. All fictional, all realistic. Copy the shape that matches yours and replace the content.

**A good llms.txt example is short: one H1, a summary that states a limit, three to six sections and specific one-line descriptions.** Each file below follows that pattern for a different kind of site. For the official reference example, see [the llms.txt proposal at llmstxt.org](https://llmstxt.org/); real-world files are discussed in [the proposal’s GitHub repository](https://github.com/AnswerDotAI/llms-txt).

## What does a SaaS product’s llms.txt look like?

The job is to make the product understood quickly: what it does, who it is for, what it costs and how to integrate it.

llms.txt

```
# Cadence

> Scheduling API for healthcare providers. Handles appointment booking,
> reminders and cancellations. HIPAA-eligible, US and Canada only.

## Product
- [How Cadence works](https://example.com/product): Booking flow, reminder logic and calendar sync in one page.
- [Pricing](https://example.com/pricing): From USD 199/month for 5,000 bookings. Volume tiers above 50,000.
- [Security and compliance](https://example.com/security): HIPAA, SOC 2 Type II, data residency options.

## Developers
- [Quickstart](https://example.com/docs/quickstart): Authenticate and create a booking in under ten minutes.
- [API reference](https://example.com/docs/api): Every endpoint, parameter and error code.
- [Webhooks](https://example.com/docs/webhooks): Event types, retry behaviour, signature verification.

## Optional
- [Changelog](https://example.com/changelog): Release notes since 2023.
```

What it gets right: the summary states the constraint (US and Canada only) that stops a model recommending it to the wrong person, and pricing is a real number rather than “flexible plans”.

## Documentation site

Documentation is the strongest case for this file. Link the section indexes, not every page.

llms.txt

```
# Lumen CLI Documentation

> Command-line tool for managing container deployments. Open source, MIT
> licensed. Current stable release is 4.2.

## Getting started
- [Installation](https://example.com/docs/install): macOS, Linux and Windows, via package manager or binary.
- [First deployment](https://example.com/docs/first-deploy): Deploy a sample app in about fifteen minutes.

## Reference
- [Command reference](https://example.com/docs/commands): All 34 commands with flags and examples.
- [Configuration file](https://example.com/docs/config): Every key in lumen.yaml, with defaults.
- [Environment variables](https://example.com/docs/env): Runtime variables and precedence rules.

## Guides
- [CI/CD integration](https://example.com/docs/ci): GitHub Actions, GitLab CI and CircleCI examples.
- [Troubleshooting](https://example.com/docs/troubleshooting): Common errors and what causes them.

## Optional
- [Migrating from v3](https://example.com/docs/migrate-v3): Breaking changes and upgrade path.
- [Architecture](https://example.com/docs/architecture): How the scheduler and agent communicate.
```

Under V2, a documentation section run separately from the main site can publish this file at `/docs/llms.txt`, where it covers everything below `/docs/`.

## Online shop

Link categories, never individual products. A store with four thousand products still needs a file under ten kilobytes.

Note that the case studies line describes the collection rather than listing eleven separate URLs. That is the right instinct for any archive.

## What do good examples have in common?

A summary that includes a limit or qualifier, descriptions containing real numbers, categories rather than exhaustive listings, and a short `## Optional` section for background pages. None of them is long. If yours is growing past a hundred lines, the [best practices guide](https://llmstextgenerator.com/llms-txt-best-practices/) explains what to cut.

## Frequently asked questions

Are these files from real companies?

No. All five were written for this guide. The structures are representative of what works; the businesses are invented.

How many sections should I have?

Three to six for most sites. Beyond about eight, the grouping has stopped helping.

Should I list individual blog posts?

Usually not. Link the index and say what it contains and how often it is updated. Individual posts belong in the file only if a handful of them are genuinely your best material.
