## Grade against the llmstxt.org structure

The file passes all six checks. 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: Docs by LangChain |
| Has a blockquote summary under the H1 | Pass | Blockquote summary found. |
| Has at least one H2 section that lists links | Pass | 2 H2 sections, 2 with links. |
| At least 80 percent of links point at the same site | Pass | 17 of 17 links stay on langchain.com (100 percent). |
| Under 100 KB | Pass | 3129 bytes as served. |
| Plain markdown, no HTML | Pass | No HTML document markers in the body. |

## Ora's cached score

Ora's cached report for docs.langchain.com gives it **68 of 100, grade C**, scanned on 21 August 2026. Its Access layer, which holds the read-layer checks below, scored 33 of 68 check points. Read from GET ora.ai/api/score/docs.langchain.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 report for docs.langchain.com](https://ora.ai/score/docs.langchain.com?utm_source=agentreadyhtml.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=index-entry) has every layer.

## Linking and the companion file

The home page of docs.langchain.com links the file in its HTML. 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.

## How it compares

At 3.1 KB the file is larger than 17 percent of the 2,529 plain-text llms.txt files in this edition, and its 17 links put it ahead of 29 percent of them on link count. The home page declares no generator. Size bucket: 2 to 10 KB. Curated example. Category: Framework.

Why it is in the index: Short index for a large docs set. Owner as listed: LangChain.
