LLMs txt
Overview
Add llms.txt to your site to provide LLM-friendly content.
Related Plugin: @vuepress/plugin-llms
Why llms.txt?
Large Language Models increasingly rely on website information but face a key limitation: their context window is too small to fully process most websites. Converting complex HTML pages containing navigation, ads, and JavaScript into LLM-friendly plain text is both difficult and imprecise.
While websites serve both human readers and LLMs, the latter benefit from more concise, expert-level information collected in one accessible location. This is particularly important for use cases like development environments where LLMs need quick access to programming documentation and APIs.
Add a /llms.txt Markdown file to your website to provide LLM-friendly content. This file provides brief background information, guidelines, and links to detailed Markdown files.
Features
The plugin retrieves all Markdown files from your documentation source directory and converts them into LLM-friendly plain text files.
llms.txt
llms-full.txt
markdown-examples.html
markdown-examples.md

Tips
The plugin only generates llms.txt files and other LLM-friendly documentation files during production builds, i.e., when executing the vuepress build command, and outputs them to the .vuepress/dist directory.

Configuration
This feature is not enabled by default in the theme. You can enable it through the llmstxt configuration option:
import { defineUserConfig } from 'vuepress'
import { plumeTheme } from 'vuepress-theme-plume'
export default defineUserConfig({
theme: plumeTheme({
// Use the theme's built-in default configuration
// llmstxt: true,
// Use custom configuration
llmstxt: {
locale: '/',
// ...other configurations
},
// Can also configure via `plugins.llmstxt`, but not recommended
plugins: {
llmstxt: true
}
}),
})View the complete configuration options in the Plugin Official Documentation
Components
To further enhance interaction between your documentation site and LLMs, you can add the <PageContextMenu /> component to your documentation site.
This component is not built-in but is implemented as an additional feature of the theme. Therefore, you need to manually import it and place it in an appropriate location through component slots:
import { defineAsyncComponent, h } from 'vue'
import { Layout } from 'vuepress-theme-plume/client'
import PageContextMenu from 'vuepress-theme-plume/features/PageContextMenu.vue'
import { defineClientConfig } from 'vuepress/client'
export default defineClientConfig({
layouts: {
Layout: h(Layout, null, {
// Add PageContextMenu to the doc-title-after slot, i.e., to the right of the article title
'doc-title-after': () => h(PageContextMenu),
}),
},
})You can experience this component's functionality to the right of the current page's title.
Important
This component relies entirely on the @vuepress/plugin-llms plugin and can only be used when you have enabled this plugin's functionality.
Therefore, the functionality provided by this component is only available in the built production package.
