Setup

1. Install it:

   pip install sphinx-llm-friendly

2. Add it to extensions in conf.py:

   extensions = [
       # …
       "sphinx_llm_friendly",
   ]

3. Build your documentation with the html builder:

   sphinx-build -b html docs docs/_build/html

   The Markdown pages, llms.txt and llms-full.txt are written next to the HTML pages. In the Markdown output, links to sites from intersphinx_mapping that serve Markdown point to the Markdown version of their pages.

Configuration

llm_friendly_exclude

List of patterns, with the syntax of exclude_patterns, of documents to leave out of the Markdown output and llms.txt. Default: [].

llm_friendly_llms_full_txt_exclude

List of patterns, with the syntax of exclude_patterns, of documents to leave out of llms-full.txt only. Default: [].

llm_friendly_llms_txt_summary

Summary for llms.txt. Default: the first paragraph of the root document.

llm_friendly_llms_txt_toctree_only

If True, llms.txt only lists documents reachable through toctrees from the root document. Default: False.

To leave content out of the Markdown output, give it the llm-friendly-exclude class, e.g. with the container directive.

Nodes from third-party extensions that are still in the doctree when HTML is written need Markdown handlers, registered with app.add_node() as llm_markdown.
