Full definition
llms.txt is a proposed Markdown file describing useful website content to tools that choose to read it. It is neither access control nor a universal SEO requirement.
Concrete Shopify example
Illustrative example: list service pages and guides using canonical URLs. Accurate links may help some tools but do not prove an engine uses the file.
My take
Maintain it after content and internal links. Never place private information in it. Google does not require an additional AI file for its generative search features.
