We have one on the docs site that we are using already, and I was running it through evaluations to see if it was actually helping/successful or if it was actually making things worse.

This is something that I spoke with Joe C about a while back and since this type of thing is so new, it is hard to gauge the "right way" to write the txt file and measure its success. For example, I read that you actually have to tell the LLMs to look for the file for it it utilize the file. IDK if that is still the case but if it is, it is basically "useless" unless a user knows that it exists on the site.

I would recommend pausing this PR and look into running it through evals first.

Here is a link to our file: https://docs.posit.co/llms.txt

Do you want to have a quick meeting to chat about the evals?

(I actually have it on my backlog to test out what Stripe is doing with the button for "llm" and the markdown link to add on the docs site to see if it is beneficial enough to explore for product docs)
