django-llms-txt

Generate llms.txt files for your Django website. Make your content discoverable by AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity.

What is llms.txt?

llms.txt is an open standard that helps Large Language Models understand your website's content. By providing a structured text file at /llms.txt, you make it easy for AI assistants to discover and reference your pages accurately.

Features

• Settings-based configuration — define sections and links in your Django settings
• Auto-generate from models — automatically build sections from your Django models (blog posts, docs, products, etc.)
• Dynamic serving — serve llms.txt and llms-full.txt as Django views
• Static generation — generate static files via management command
• Full text support — optionally serve expanded content via llms-full.txt

Installation

pip install django-llms-txt

Add to your INSTALLED_APPS:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    # ...
    "django_llms_txt",
]

Quick Start

1. Configure in settings.py

LLMS_TXT = {
    "SITE_NAME": "My Django Project",
    "SITE_URL": "https://example.com",
    "DESCRIPTION": "A brief description of your website.",
    "SECTIONS": [
        {
            "title": "Documentation",
            "links": [
                {
                    "name": "Getting Started",
                    "url": "/docs/start/",
                    "description": "Quick start guide",
                },
                {
                    "name": "API Reference",
                    "url": "/docs/api/",
                    "description": "Complete API documentation",
                },
            ],
        },
    ],
}

2. Add URL patterns

# urls.py
from django_llms_txt.urls import urlpatterns as llms_patterns

urlpatterns = [
    # ... your URLs
] + llms_patterns

This adds /llms.txt and /llms-full.txt to your site.

3. Visit your llms.txt

Navigate to https://yoursite.com/llms.txt and you'll see:

# My Django Project

> A brief description of your website.

## Documentation

- [API Reference](https://example.com/docs/api/): Complete API documentation

Auto-Generate from Models

The real power of django-llms-txt is auto-generating sections from your Django models:

LLMS_TXT = {
    "SITE_NAME": "My Blog",
    "SITE_URL": "https://example.com",
    "DESCRIPTION": "A blog about Django development.",
    "AUTO_SECTIONS": [
        {
            "title": "Blog Posts",
            "model": "blog.Post",
            "filter": {"status": "published"},
            "ordering": ["-published_date"],
            "name_field": "title",
            "url_method": "get_absolute_url",
            "description_field": "excerpt",
            "full_text_field": "content",
            "limit": 50,
        },
        {
            "title": "Categories",
            "model": "blog.Category",
            "name_field": "name",
            "url_method": "get_absolute_url",
            "description_field": "description",
        },
    ],
    "FULL_TEXT": True,
}

AUTO_SECTIONS Options

Management Command

Generate static files instead of serving dynamically:

# Generate in current directory
python manage.py generate_llms_txt

# Generate in a specific directory
python manage.py generate_llms_txt --output static/

Set FULL_TEXT: True in your config to also generate llms-full.txt.

Configuration Reference

LLMS_TXT = {
    # Required
    "SITE_NAME": "My Site",
    "SITE_URL": "https://example.com",

    # Optional
    "DESCRIPTION": "A brief description.",
    "SECTIONS": [...],         # Static sections
    "AUTO_SECTIONS": [...],    # Model-based sections
    "FULL_TEXT": False,        # Enable llms-full.txt
    "EXCLUDE_PATTERNS": [],    # URL patterns to exclude
}

Combining Static and Auto Sections

You can mix both approaches:

LLMS_TXT = {
    "SITE_NAME": "My Site",
    "SITE_URL": "https://example.com",
    "DESCRIPTION": "Description here.",
    "SECTIONS": [
        {
            "title": "About",
            "links": [
                {"name": "About Us", "url": "/about/"},
                {"name": "Contact", "url": "/contact/"},
            ],
        },
    ],
    "AUTO_SECTIONS": [
        {
            "title": "Blog",
            "model": "blog.Post",
            "filter": {"status": "published"},
            "name_field": "title",
            "url_method": "get_absolute_url",
            "description_field": "excerpt",
        },
    ],
}
