The next version of the llms.txt proposal will allow an llms.txt file to be added at any level of a path, which isn't compatible with /.well-known.

(I'm the creator of the llms.txt proposal.)



Doesn’t this conflict with the original proposal of appending .md to any resource, e.g. /foo/bar.html.md? Or why not tell servers to respond to the Accept header when it’s set to text/markdown?


Even with this future approach, it still can live under the `/.well-known`, think of `/.well-known/llm/<mirrored path>` or `/.well-known/llm.json` with key/value mappings.


From llmstxt.org:

> We furthermore propose that pages on websites that have information that might be useful for LLMs to read provide a clean markdown version of those pages at the same URL as the original page, but with .md appended. (URLs without file names should append index.html.md instead.)

I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

This standard feels very ad-hoc. I'm sure it will be successful.

PS apologies to jph00. I still believe what I believe but I should have phrased it differently or not at all. Good luck on your endeavors either way.
