✅ **Consistency** - No human errors or typos

✅ **Efficiency** - Generate in seconds, not hours

✅ **Scalability** - Handle complex sites easily

✅ **Updates** - Quickly adapt to site changes

✅ **Version control** - Track changes over time

Method 2: Script-Based Generation

For developers who prefer automation via scripts:

Node.js Example

// generate-llms.js

const fs = require('fs');

const config = {

crawlers: ['GPTBot', 'Claude-Web', 'PerplexityBot'],

allow: ['/'],

disallow: ['/admin', '/api', '/private'],

crawlDelay: 10,

sitemap: 'https://yoursite.com/sitemap.xml'

};

function generateLLMSTxt(config) {

let content = '# LLMS.txt - AI Crawler Rules\n\n';

config.crawlers.forEach(crawler => {

content += `User-agent: ${crawler}\n`;

config.allow.forEach(path => {

content += `Allow: ${path}\n`;

});

config.disallow.forEach(path => {

content += `Disallow: ${path}\n`;

});

content += `Crawl-delay: ${config.crawlDelay}\n\n`;

});

if (config.sitemap) {

content += `Sitemap: ${config.sitemap}\n`;

}

return content;

}

const llmsTxt = generateLLMSTxt(config);

fs.writeFileSync('public/llms.txt', llmsTxt);

console.log('LLMS.txt generated successfully!');

Python Example

generate_llms.py

def generate_llms_txt(config):

content = "# LLMS.txt - AI Crawler Rules\n\n"

for crawler in config['crawlers']:

content += f"User-agent: {crawler}\n"

for path in config['allow']:

content += f"Allow: {path}\n"

for path in config['disallow']:

content += f"Disallow: {path}\n"

content += f"Crawl-delay: {config['crawl_delay']}\n\n"

if config.get('sitemap'):

content += f"Sitemap: {config['sitemap']}\n"

return content

config = {

'crawlers': ['GPTBot', 'Claude-Web', 'PerplexityBot'],

'allow': ['/'],

'disallow': ['/admin', '/api', '/private'],

'crawl_delay': 10,

'sitemap': 'https://yoursite.com/sitemap.xml'

}

with open('public/llms.txt', 'w') as f:

f.write(generate_llms_txt(config))

print('LLMS.txt generated successfully!')

Method 3: Build-Time Generation

Integrate LLMS.txt generation into your build process:

Next.js Example

// scripts/generate-llms.js

const fs = require('fs');

const path = require('path');

// Generate during build

const generateLLMSTxt = () => {

const content = `

User-agent: GPTBot

Allow: /

Disallow: /admin

Crawl-delay: 10

User-agent: Claude-Web

Allow: /

Disallow: /admin

Crawl-delay: 10

`.trim();

fs.writeFileSync(

path.join(process.cwd(), 'public', 'llms.txt'),

content

);

};

generateLLMSTxt();

Add to `package.json`:

{

"scripts": {

"build": "node scripts/generate-llms.js && next build"

}

}

Method 4: CMS Integration

WordPress Plugin Approach

Create a simple plugin that generates LLMS.txt automatically based on your WordPress configuration.

Headless CMS

Generate LLMS.txt from your CMS API:

async function generateFromCMS() {

const config = await fetch('https://cms.example.com/api/llms-config');

const data = await config.json();

// Generate LLMS.txt from CMS data

const llmsTxt = generateLLMSTxt(data);

// Save to public directory

fs.writeFileSync('public/llms.txt', llmsTxt);

}

Dynamic Generation Examples

API Route (Next.js)

// pages/api/llms.js

export default function handler(req, res) {

const llmsTxt = `

User-agent: GPTBot

Allow: /

Disallow: /admin

Crawl-delay: 10

`.trim();

res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/plain');

res.status(200).send(llmsTxt);

}

Express.js Route

app.get('/llms.txt', (req, res) => {

const content = generateLLMSTxt(config);

res.type('text/plain');

res.send(content);

});
