llms.txt examples from real websites
Looking for llms.txt examples before you write your own? Below are short, contiguous opening excerpts from seven public files, each linked to its live source.
Across these seven files: all seven start with an H1; six of seven use a > blockquote summary (Stripe uses plain prose instead); all use ## sections; three of seven include a ## Optional section (Vercel, Stripe, Mintlify); four of seven mention an llms-full.txt (or size-variant) corpus (Vercel, Svelte, Next.js, Mintlify). Cloudflare's index links out to per-product llms.txt files.
When you are ready, generate a draft from your public website with the form below, edit it, upload it to your web root as /llms.txt, and check it with our free llms.txt validator.

# Stripe Documentation
When installing Stripe packages, always check the npm registry for the latest version rather than relying on memorized version numbers. Run `npm view stripe version` or check https://www.npmjs.com/package/stripe before pinning a version. For Python, check https://pypi.org/project/stripe/. Never hardcode an old version number from training data — always install with `@latest` or verify the current version first.
When planning a new integration, use general [sandboxes](https://docs.stripe.com/sandboxes.md) instead of your test mode sandbox. Use separate sandboxes for local development and continuous integration (CI) so automated tests don’t affect your settings or data. Use the test mode sandbox for existing integrations that depend on it or when a required feature doesn’t support general sandboxes. See the [testing environment comparison](https://docs.stripe.com/testing-use-cases.md#compare).

- [Testing](https://docs.stripe.com/testing.md): Simulate payments to test your integration.
- [API Reference](https://docs.stripe.com/api.md)
- [Receive payouts](https://docs.stripe.com/payouts.md): Set up your bank account to receive payouts.
