 Hi there and welcome to Trac!

 Given the rapid development of the AI landscape, I'd suggest that this
 proposal is better suited for the [https://github.com/WordPress/ai AI
 plugin].

 In my experience, `llms.txt` adoption has never really picked up, but also
 _how_ it's been used has drastically evolved. Nobody wants a `llms.txt`
 with thousands of lines that quickly exceeds any context window. Sites
 have instead transitioned to serving their pages via Markdown instead,
 including navigation links for the agent to move around the same way the
 user would.

 As the [https://wordpress.org/news/2025/05/announcing-the-formation-of-
 the-wordpress-ai-team/ AI team] we need to think about this more long
 term. Experiments are staying in plugins, and only things that benefit the
 project long term (e.g., the AI Client API in WP 7.0) will be promoted
 into core.

 I welcome you to discuss this further in the regular AI chat on Slack, or
 in a discussion thread on the above GitHub repo.
