## What is Grafbase's llms.txt?

Grafbase publishes an `/llms.txt` file that provides AI systems with a structured index of its documentation. It follows the [llms.txt specification](https://llmstxt.org), organizing links to guides, API references, and tutorials under section headings so that LLMs like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini can quickly understand what Grafbase offers and where to find details.
