Introduction 

What does this extension do? 

The LLMS TXT Generator extension provides TYPO3 with the capability to generate machine-readable files according to the llmstxt.org specification.

The extension creates two types of content:

  1. llms.txt files - Machine-readable policy files that inform Large Language Models (LLMs) and AI crawlers about your site's crawling preferences and content structure
  2. Markdown content - Human and machine-readable representations of your TYPO3 pages in Markdown format

Key Features 

  • Automatic llms.txt generation - Creates policy links at /.well-known/llms.txt according to the official specification
  • Site navigation structure - Automatically includes your site's navigation hierarchy in the llms.txt file
  • Configurable metadata - Add topics, contact information, and custom descriptions
  • Markdown export - Convert any TYPO3 page to Markdown format via .md suffix
  • TYPO3 v13 compatibility - Built specifically for TYPO3 v13 using modern PHP practices
  • Flexible configuration - Control depth, content, and behavior through TypoScript
  • Frontend rendering integration - Leverages TYPO3's native content rendering pipeline

What is llms.txt? 

llms.txt is an emerging standard for websites to communicate with Large Language Models and AI systems. Similar to robots.txt for web crawlers, llms.txt files provide:

  • Crawling policies - Guidelines for AI systems on how to interact with your content
  • Site structure - Navigation and content organization information
  • Metadata - Topics, contact information, and site descriptions
  • Content access - Direct links to machine-readable content formats

The specification follows a simple, human-readable format that both humans and AI systems can easily parse.
