The file
n8n Docs publishes an llms.txt at
https://docs.n8n.io/llms.txt.
The file declares itself as n8n Docs in its H1, and the host is categorised here as saas. It was last fetched and parsed on 2026-08-03.
Measured structure
| Measure | n8n Docs | Corpus median | Percentile |
|---|---|---|---|
| Size | 270.3 KB | 14.0 KB | 94th |
| H2 sections | 9 | 7 | 67th |
| Links | 1319 | 76 | 94th |
| Blockquote summary | Absent | 90 of 113 have one | n/a |
Percentiles are against the 113 files in this directory, not against the web. That population is deliberately weighted toward documentation platforms and developer tools, which is where the convention started, so treat it as a peer group rather than a norm.
Observations
- No blockquote summary. The specification puts a one-line summary directly after the H1, and 23 of the 113 files in this directory omit it. It is the single line an assistant is most likely to read first.
- 1319 links is closer to a sitemap than to a curated index. The convention exists so a model can skip crawling everything; a list this long hands the selection problem straight back to it.
- At 270.3 KB this is large enough that a client with a modest context budget may truncate it. Sites in that position usually split the map from the content and put the bulk in llms-full.txt.

How this was measured
Our checker fetches /llms.txt for every host in the directory, follows redirects, confirms
the response is Markdown rather than an HTML error page, and parses it with the same parser that powers
our validator. Sizes are of the served body, sections are H2 headings,
and links are Markdown links anywhere in the file. The run behind this page completed on 2026-08-03.
