scalar.com llms.txt
In short
scalar.com serves a 76 KB llms.txt with 394 links. The crawl kept and parsed the first 60 KB of it, which holds 3 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.

The parse
The crawl recorded 394 links in the whole 76 KB file but kept only its first 60 KB, which is what is parsed here. In that part, 317 links appear: 317 point at scalar.com or a relative path, 0 point elsewhere. The hosts it links most: scalar.com (317).
| H2 section | Links |
|---|---|
| Scalar | 13 |
| Docs | 239 |
| Resources | 65 |
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: Scalar Documentation |
| Has a blockquote summary under the H1 | Pass | Blockquote summary found. |
| Has at least one H2 section that lists links | Pass | 3 H2 sections, 3 with links. |
| At least 80 percent of links point at the same site | Pass | 317 of 317 links stay on scalar.com (100 percent). |
| Under 100 KB | Pass | 77669 bytes as served. |
| Plain markdown, no HTML | Pass | No HTML document markers in the body. |
Ora's cached score
Ora's cached report for scalar.com gives it 74 of 100, grade B, scanned on 30 September 2026. Its Access layer, which holds the read-layer checks below, scored 51 of 64 check points. Read from GET ora.ai/api/score/scalar.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 scalar.com has every layer.

Linking and the companion file
The home page of scalar.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. An llms-full.txt is served at the same root.
How it compares
At 76 KB the file is larger than 93 percent of the 2,529 plain-text llms.txt files in this edition, and its 394 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 linking .md pages and OpenAPI documents. Owner as listed: Scalar.
