Before you publish this
llms.txt is a proposal, not a standard. No major engine has committed to honouring it and there is no reliable public evidence that models fetch it. It costs little to publish and it is not a visibility strategy — the robots.txt half of this output matters considerably more, because that one is actually enforced.
The crawler decision is strategic rather than technical. Blocking AI crawlers removes you from the answers your buyers read. For most businesses that is the worse trade; publishers are the genuine exception, because there the content is the product rather than a route to it.
