# Documentation for LLMs

Source: https://athas.dev/docs/for-llms

Read complete Athas documentation as Markdown, cite source pages, and choose focused context.

Athas publishes the same documentation for people and assistants. The Markdown endpoints are
public, do not require an account, and preserve commands, tables, platform labels and links.

## Entry points

| Resource            | URL                                                | Use                                |
| ------------------- | -------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------- |
| Documentation index | [/llms.txt](https://athas.dev/llms.txt)                             | Discover guides by topic           |
| Full documentation  | [/llms-full.txt](https://athas.dev/llms-full.txt)                   | Read the complete guide collection |
| One guide           | [/docs/llms/installation](https://athas.dev/docs/llms/installation) | Retrieve focused Markdown          |
| Getting started     | [/docs/llms](https://athas.dev/docs/llms)                           | Read the docs home as Markdown     |

The index and full export are also available at `/docs/llms.txt` and `/docs/llms-full.txt`.
Every guide has a **Markdown** link and a **Copy page** action. Each export includes the canonical
human-readable source URL for citations. Internal server runbooks and private account data are
not part of this collection.

## Retrieve only what you need

```bash
curl -fsSL https://athas.dev/llms.txt
curl -fsSL https://athas.dev/docs/llms/cli
curl -fsSL https://athas.dev/llms-full.txt -o athas-docs.md
```

Start with the index, then retrieve the specific guides for the task. Full exports are larger
and can consume unnecessary context for a narrow question.

## Ground an answer

Ask an assistant to cite the source URL, distinguish macOS from Windows/Linux, check the user's
Athas version and keymap, and include account or integration requirements where relevant.
Do not infer an API, CLI option, permission guarantee or supported capability from a feature name.

```text
Read https://athas.dev/docs/llms/installation and
https://athas.dev/docs/llms/troubleshooting.
Help me diagnose my Linux launch error. Ask for the exact error and package format.
Cite the source guide and keep commands specific to my distribution.
```

## Product docs versus project rules

These docs explain Athas. Your repository's `AGENTS.md` and other instruction files explain how
an agent should work in your project. See [Agent context and instructions](https://athas.dev/docs/agent-context)
for those files and their boundaries.

The exports are a convenience for reading and retrieval. Availability does not guarantee that
any particular model or search engine consumes them.
