How to fix it
- Publish a short llms.txt listing your main collections, your shipping and returns pages, and your about page.
- Do not spend much time on it until adoption is clearer.
Why an agent cares
llms.txt is a proposed plain-text file that lists the pages most worth reading, in the way robots.txt lists what not to read.
Adoption is early and no major agent is known to require it. It is included here because it costs almost nothing and its downside is zero, not because its absence is hurting you today.
