# notes-to-llms-txt Turns disorganized notes — a scratch file, a run of meeting notes, a mixed-topic dump — into a well-formed llms.txt family, by segmenting, clustering by topic, and drafting a source-anchored entry per topic. Raw notes are multi-topic, unordered, and mix genres — a fact next to a todo next to a half-formed question next to a name. `notes-to-llms-txt` sits upstream of both [llms-concept-abstractor](/skills/llms-concept-abstractor/) (which assumes you already know the one concept to pull out) and [llms-deep-optimizer](/skills/llms-deep-optimizer/) (which assumes structure already exists to audit): it takes the mess as-is, finds the topics actually in it, and drafts a first llms.txt family good enough for the optimizer to take the rest of the way. ## How it works 1. **Ingest** every source in full — no sampling. 2. **Segment** into atomic units (bullet, paragraph, heading-scoped block), tagging each unit's genre: fact, todo, decision, question, name/entity mention, or noise. 3. **Cluster** the surviving units by topic — notes are rarely about one thing, so clustering goes by subject, not by which file or meeting a unit came from. 4. **Draft** an entry per topic with enough content: title, description, source-anchored facts, verbatim links, open questions left as questions rather than smoothed into facts. 5. **Compile and hand off** to `llms-deep-optimizer` for the real multi-pass audit. Every fact traces to a specific note; a gap in the notes is a gap in the output, never filled from general knowledge. Anything secret-shaped — API keys, passwords, connection strings pasted into a meeting note in passing — is redacted before it reaches any output file, since these output families are exactly the kind of thing that ends up pasted into a shared repo or a public library later. Try a bounded, single-pass version live on the [notes-to-llms playground page](/playground/notes-to-llms/). **Use it for:** "turn my notes into an llms.txt", "structure these meeting notes", "my notes are a mess, make them navigable". **Not for:** notes already scoped to one concept (llms-concept-abstractor) · an llms.txt that already exists and just needs auditing (llms-deep-optimizer) · a request that needs new research, not organizing what's already written down (`/dr`).
