Whether the file parses: a heading at the top, Markdown links, and enough content to navigate by.

Why it matters

Agents read llms.txt with a parser, not a person's eye. A file that doesn't follow the format is as good as missing.

How to pass

Start with one # heading, add a short summary, then group links under ## sections as Markdown list items.

Run it

Find llms-txt-formatting in the report. Add --md for a fix prompt you can paste into Claude Code, Codex or Cursor.
