What the checker looks at

The llms.txt proposal is short: it asks for a title on the first line and suggests a summary, sections and annotated links. Crawllyt turns those suggestions into seven practical checks and adds two of its own, links that actually work and a length that suits an index file, for nine checks in total.

How the score works

• Title heading: 20 points. Without it the file does not follow the format at all.
• Summary line, grouped sections, link format, link notes, enough pages and no repeated links: 10 points each.
• Working links: 15 points, shared across up to 15 tested links.
• File length: 5 points for roughly 200 to 10,000 tokens.
• 90 or more: Ready to publish. 70 to 89: Almost there. 50 to 69: Needs fixes. Below 50: Rebuild recommended.

Common problems and quick fixes

• Text above the title: delete anything before the "# Name" line, including blank headings or comments.
• Links pasted as plain addresses: write them as "- [Page name](https://…): what it covers" so tools can read the label and the note.
• Broken links: pages that were moved or deleted return errors. Update the address or remove the line.
• The file shows as a web page: your server is sending an HTML page instead of the text file. Check the file name and folder, and any redirects.
