Source: https://agentreadyhtml.com/llms-txt-index/clerk-com/ Site: Agent Ready HTML Last reviewed: 2026-11-05 # clerk.com llms.txt In short clerk.com serves a 5.8 KB llms.txt with 15 H2 sections and 54 links, graded A on the llmstxt.org structure (6 of 6 checks). It passes every check. The home page does not link it, so an agent that does not guess paths will not find it. An llms-full.txt is served too.

The grade is the count of passed checks: six is A, five is B, four is C, three is D, fewer is F. It measures structure only. Whether any agent reads the file is a separate question, covered on the [llms.txt reference](https://agentreadyhtml.com/llms-txt/). | Check | Result | Detail | | --- | --- | --- | | Starts with an H1 naming the site or project | Pass | H1: Clerk | | Has a blockquote summary under the H1 | Pass | Blockquote summary found. | | Has at least one H2 section that lists links | Pass | 15 H2 sections, 14 with links. | | At least 80 percent of links point at the same site | Pass | 50 of 54 links stay on clerk.com (93 percent). | | Under 100 KB | Pass | 5901 bytes as served. | | Plain markdown, no HTML | Pass | No HTML document markers in the body. | ## Ora's cached score Ora's cached report for clerk.com gives it **90 of 100, grade A**, scanned on 5 November 2026. Its Access layer, which holds the read-layer checks below, scored 61 of 64 check points. Read from GET ora.ai/api/score/clerk.com on 5 November 2026. The score is Ora's, not this site's, and the structure grade above is a different measure: it grades the llms.txt file against the llmstxt.org proposal, while Ora's score covers the whole site.

Ora's lab found (2026-10-19) that 86 percent of llms.txt fetches by agents arrived through a link, so an unlinked file is mostly a file nobody opens. An llms-full.txt is served at the same root. ## How it compares At 5.8 KB the file is larger than 39 percent of the 2,529 plain-text llms.txt files in this edition, and its 54 links put it ahead of 63 percent of them on link count. The home page declares no generator. Size bucket: 2 to 10 KB. Tranco rank 3,144. Category: Identity & Auth. Live file: [https://clerk.com/llms.txt](https://clerk.com/llms.txt). Read 4 November 2026.
