docs.readme.com llms.txt
In short
docs.readme.com serves a 65 KB llms.txt with 398 links. The crawl kept and parsed the first 60 KB of it, which holds 23 H2 sections, 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.

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.
| Check | Result | Detail |
|---|---|---|
| Starts with an H1 naming the site or project | Pass | H1: ReadMe Documentation |
| Has a blockquote summary under the H1 | Pass | Blockquote summary found. |
| Has at least one H2 section that lists links | Pass | 23 H2 sections, 23 with links. |
| At least 80 percent of links point at the same site | Pass | 360 of 360 links stay on readme.com (100 percent). |
| Under 100 KB | Pass | 66757 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.readme.com gives it 53 of 100, grade C, scanned on 22 August 2026. Its Access layer, which holds the read-layer checks below, scored 29 of 61 check points. Read from GET ora.ai/api/score/docs.readme.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.readme.com has every layer.

Linking and the companion file
The home page of docs.readme.com does not link 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 65 KB the file is larger than 93 percent of the 2,529 plain-text llms.txt files in this edition, and its 398 links put it ahead of 94 percent of them on link count. The home page declares no generator. Size bucket: 50 to 100 KB. Curated example. Category: Docs platform.
Why it is in the index: Generated file grouped by sidebar categories. Owner as listed: ReadMe.
Live file: https://docs.readme.com/llms.txt. Read 4 November 2026. If the file has since changed or gone, the live URL is the authority; this page records what the crawl read on that date.
