# Firecrawl llms.txt generator: what an agent reads

In short

Firecrawl llms.txt does not keep the file in sync with the site. Firecrawl llms.txt totals 3 of 6 on the eight numeric keys, from cited documentation read 4 November 2026. It also does not host or link the file. Firecrawl llms.txt: Firecrawl offered an alpha /llmstxt endpoint that turns any website into llms.txt and llms-full.txt files.

**rubric.txt** firecrawl-llmstxt

```text
initial_html_by_default  = n/a
real_status_codes        = n/a

**Firecrawl llms.txt generator** Edge or plugin product, Firecrawl

Crawl-based generator that writes llms.txt and llms-full.txt for any URL; the hosted /llmstxt endpoint is deprecated in favour of an open-source script.

Work left to the developer: Medium: run, edit the summary and sections, host and link the result, and rerun when content changes.

## Test build

Not test-built: the scores above come from the documentation pages cited in each row, read 4 November 2026, because the platform needs an account or a paid plan. The reason is in each evidence cell.
