create-llms makes the agent create a new llms.txt in the root of your repository, following the format at llmstxt.org. The file lists the project name, a short summary and links to the files an AI tool should read first.

Before writing, the agent reviews the spec, examines the repository structure, reads the README and finds docs, specs, examples and config files. It then groups the links into H2 sections and checks that each link is valid. The skill is one text file and bundles no scripts.

Good for

  • Maintainers adding an llms.txt to an open-source project
  • Documentation teams who want an LLM-friendly map of their docs
  • Developers who want a first draft of llms.txt to edit by hand

Permissions

Low risk

The skill reads your repository and writes llms.txt at its root. Review the file before you commit it, since it may list internal docs you do not want to point AI tools to.

What it can do

  • Read your data
  • Create and change things
  • Delete things
  • Read-only mode

Watch out for

  • It writes llms.txt in your repository root

    SKILL.md says to create the file at the repo root and gives no guidance on an existing one. Commit first so you can diff the result. github.com

  • It may list internal docs

    The skill selects docs, specs, examples and config files it finds. Remove links to anything you do not want to publish. github.com

Questions

What does create-llms do?

It writes an llms.txt file from scratch for your repository. The agent studies the repository, then lists the most useful files for an AI tool with short descriptions, in the format described at llmstxt.org.

What is llms.txt?

SKILL.md describes it as a file that gives high-level guidance to large language models on where to find the content that explains a repository. The format and spec are at llmstxt.org.

How do I install create-llms?

Use the install box above. The skills CLI route installs this one skill, or you can copy the folder into your skills directory.

Will it overwrite an existing llms.txt?

SKILL.md says to create the file from scratch and does not say what happens if one exists. Our advice: commit your repository first so you can compare.

Does it work in the Claude app?

It reads your repository and writes a file in it, so it fits an agent with file access, such as Claude Code or Codex. The install box may show a Claude app upload, but the skill works on files in your repository.

Is create-llms safe?

It bundles no scripts. It reads your repository files and writes one new file, llms.txt, in the repo root. It points the agent to https://llmstxt.org/ for the spec. Review the generated links before you commit them.
