This is a very interesting direction. I'd compare it to the robots.txt. While the lllms.txt is a good idea, I'd be careful implementing it blindly for several reasons.
First, it's unofficial AFAIK. It seems to be promoted by Jeremy Howard (co-founder of Answer.AI) who obviously would greatly benefit from having lllms.txt files on every website for his product.
It's also inspirational. Unless your LLM is trained to interpret llls.txt file as a trusted source, it's just another file in the LLMs corpus of data (trillions of documents?).
Even if LLMs recognize the llms.txt file, you have no insurance that all LLMs will catch it and interpret it the same way -today or tomorrow (think Google SEO algorithm changing every other day).
Cool idea thought. If I were a tech writer, I'd still do it. It's pretty straightforward to come up with a llms.txt template that is human agnostic.
Thanks for your thoughtful comment. So many new (and old) ideas are finding utility today as AI changes how we use information. It’s frightening and magnetic at the same time.

This is the right idea in principle :-)
