Why it matters
Coding agents mostly never open your documentation site — they read the repo and node_modules, working from stale compiled source. Shipping markdown and an AGENTS.md inside the published package is what closes that gap.
Terms in this piece · Glossary
LLM — A large language model — the neural network behind tools like Claude and ChatGPT, trained on huge amounts of text to predict what comes next.
AI agent — An AI system that doesn't just answer once but works toward a goal in a loop — taking actions, reading the results, and deciding what to do next.
llms.txt — A file at a site's root that gives AI systems a curated, plain-text map of its most useful content — robots.txt's counterpart for comprehension rather than permission.
