name: wiki-llms-txt description: Generates llms.txt and llms-full.txt files for LLM-friendly project documentation following the llms.txt specification. Use when the user wants to create LLM-readable summaries, llms.txt files, or make their wiki accessible to language models. license: MIT metadata: author: Microsoft version: "1.0.0"
llms.txt Generator
Generate llms.txt and llms-full.txt files that provide LLM-friendly access to wiki documentation, following the llms.txt specification.
When This Skill Activates
- User asks to generate
llms.txtor mentions the llms.txt standard - User wants to make documentation "LLM-friendly" or "LLM-readable"
- User asks for a project summary file for language models
- User mentions
llms-full.txtor context-expanded documentation
Source Repository Resolution (MUST DO FIRST)
Before generating, resolve the source repository context:
- Check for git remote: Run
git remote get-url origin - Ask the user: "Is this a local-only repository, or do you have a source repository URL?"
- Remote URL → store as
REPO_URL - Local → use relative paths only
- Remote URL → store as
- Determine default branch: Run
git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD - Do NOT proceed until resolved
llms.txt Format (Spec-Compliant)
The file follows the llms.txt specification:
# {Project Name}
> {Dense one-paragraph summary — what it does, who it's for, key technologies}
{Important context paragraphs — constraints, architectural philosophy, non-obvious things}
## {Section Name}
- [{Page Title}]({relative-path-to-md}): {One-sentence description of what the reader will learn}
## Optional
- [{Page Title}]({relative-path-to-md}): {Description — these can be skipped for shorter context}Key Rules
- H1 — Project name (exactly one, required)
- Blockquote — Dense, specific summary (required). Must be unique to THIS project.
- Context paragraphs — Non-obvious constraints, things LLMs would get wrong without being told
- H2 sections — Organized by topic, each with a list of
[Title](url): Descriptionentries - "Optional" H2 — Special meaning: links here can be skipped for shorter context
- Relative links — All paths relative to wiki directory
- Dynamic — ALL content derived from actual wiki pages, not templates
- Section order — Most important first: Onboarding → Architecture → Getting Started → Deep Dive → Optional
Description Quality
| ❌ Bad | ✅ Good |
|---|---|
| "Architecture overview" | "System architecture showing how Orleans grains communicate via message passing with at-least-once delivery" |
| "Getting started guide" | "Prerequisites, local dev setup with Docker Compose, and first API call walkthrough" |
| "The API reference" | "REST endpoints with auth requirements, rate limits, and request/response schemas" |
llms-full.txt Format
Same structure as llms.txt but with full content inlined:
# {Project Name}
> {Same summary}
{Same context}
## {Section Name}
<doc title="{Page Title}" path="{relative-path}">
{Full markdown content — frontmatter stripped, citations and diagrams preserved}
</doc>Inlining Rules
- Strip YAML frontmatter (
---blocks) from each page - Preserve Mermaid diagrams — keep
```mermaidfences intact - Preserve citations — all
[file:line](URL)links stay as-is - Preserve tables — all markdown tables stay intact
- Preserve
<!-- Sources: -->comments — these provide diagram provenance
Output Files
Generate three files:
| File | Purpose | Discoverability |
|---|---|---|
./llms.txt | Root discovery file | Standard path per llms.txt spec. GitHub MCP get_file_contents and search_code find this first. |
wiki/llms.txt | Wiki-relative links | For VitePress deployment and wiki-internal navigation. |
wiki/llms-full.txt | Full inlined content | Comprehensive reference for agents needing all docs in one file. |
The root ./llms.txt links into wiki/ (e.g., [Guide](./wiki/onboarding/contributor-guide.md)). The wiki/llms.txt uses wiki-relative paths (e.g., [Guide](./onboarding/contributor-guide.md)).
If a root llms.txt already exists and was NOT generated by deep-wiki, do NOT overwrite it.
Validation Checklist
Before finalizing:
- All linked files in
llms.txtactually exist - All
<doc>blocks inllms-full.txthave real content (not empty) - Blockquote is specific to this project (not generic boilerplate)
- Sections ordered by importance
- No duplicate page entries across sections
- "Optional" section only contains truly optional content
-
llms.txtis concise (1-5 KB) -
llms-full.txtcontains all wiki pages

Prerequisites
This skill works best when wiki pages already exist (via /deep-wiki:generate or /deep-wiki:page). If no wiki exists yet:
- Suggest running
/deep-wiki:generatefirst - OR generate a minimal
llms.txtfrom README + source code scan (without wiki page links)
No common issues documented yet. If you hit a problem, the repository's GitHub Issues page is the best place to look.
