I Added an llms.txt. Nothing Reads It.

This site now serves dineshmannam.com/llms.txt. Hugo generates it from the content tree on every build, so a new post lands in it without me editing anything. That change shipped as build config, so it never showed up as a post. This is the record of it.

If you have not run into the convention: llms.txt is a markdown index of a site’s content, meant to hand a language model a clean map instead of making it parse a pile of HTML. Jeremy Howard of Answer.AI proposed it in September 2024, and the spec lives at llmstxt.org. A plain text file at the site root, an H1, a one-line summary, then sections of links with short descriptions. That is the entire idea.
