llms.txt and agents.md, with your store in them

Shopify serves llms.txt and agents.md on every store. AgentReady generates better content for them from your real catalog. You paste the template once, and again when AgentReady flags a change.

What the files are

Plain-text summaries at a known address

llms.txt is a Markdown file at the root of a site that says what the site is and links to the pages that matter. It is a proposed convention for AI tools.

agents.md is a Markdown brief for AI agents: who the store is, what it sells and how to buy from it.

Shopify serves both on every store, at /agents.md and /llms.txt, with no app installed. On Shopify the llms files carry the same content as agents.md. The default text is generic: it covers checkout and policy links and reads much like every other store's.

What AgentReady adds

Content written from your real catalog

AgentReady generates a store-specific version of the file from your Shopify data and a few inputs you control, such as why people buy from you and sizing notes.

  • Currencies, subscriptions, locations and returns at a glance
  • Your collections, featured products and best sellers, with prices
  • Shipping and returns answers in the file itself
  • Store locations and opening hours
  • Answers from your FAQ library
  • Review ratings, on paid plans

A shortened example for a sample store.

A quality score in the app shows what the file covers and what would make it more complete. The same rule as the structured data applies: nothing your store does not state goes in.

The paste step

You paste the template once, and again when flagged

Shopify lets only your theme replace the default file. AgentReady does not write to your theme, so this one step is yours.

  1. Copy the template

    In AgentReady, open AI files, review the generated content and copy the template.

  2. Add it to your theme

    In your Shopify theme code editor, add it as the agents.md template and save. Shopify then serves your version at /agents.md and the llms files.

  3. Paste again when AgentReady flags a change

    The file is a snapshot. When your catalog, policies or collections change enough to matter, AgentReady tells you what changed and gives you the updated template.

What they do not do

Useful to have. Not a ranking lever.

No search engine or AI provider documents a ranking effect from llms.txt or agents.md. A better file makes your store easier to read for the tools that fetch it. It does not make any assistant cite you, recommend you or send you traffic.

What decides whether a machine can read you is elsewhere: your robots.txt rules and the structured data on your product pages. See Structured data.
