llms.txt is an entry point
A site-level llms.txt file can tell AI systems what the site is, which pages matter, and where useful resources live.
It is compact and useful for orientation, but it is not a full knowledge model by itself.
OKF is a knowledge bundle
An OKF bundle can hold many concept files. Each concept can include frontmatter, headings, examples, citations, and links to other concepts.
Decision rule
- Use llms.txt to introduce the site and route AI readers.
- Use OKF to package deeper knowledge.
- Link the OKF guide, examples, or downloadable bundles from llms.txt when they are ready.
