docs: add llms.txt conceptual documentation to Section 9.18
Add comprehensive llms.txt documentation based on Wasp fullstack essentials resource evaluation (score 3/5). Sourced from llmstxt.org spec, not the promotional article. Changes: - New section 9.18.4: Documentation Formats for Agents (llms.txt) - Explains llms.txt standard, format, and use cases - Clarifies complementarity with Context7 MCP (not opposition) - Provides minimal and advanced examples with line numbers - Integration patterns with CLAUDE.md - References this repo's own llms.txt implementation - Updated section numbering (9.18.4-9.18.11) - Updated Section 9.18 TL;DR with new principle - Added reference.yaml entries for llms.txt Resource evaluation: - File: docs/resource-evaluations/wasp-fullstack-essentials-eval.md - Source: Wasp DevRel blog (framework-agnostic insights extracted) - Score: 3/5 (partial integration, promotional content excluded) - Gap identified: Embarrassing to have llms.txt file without explaining concept - Primary source: llmstxt.org specification Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

### Auto-Memories (v2.1.32+)
|
||||
|
||||
> **New Feature (Feb 2026)**: Claude Code now automatically captures and recalls important context across sessions without manual CLAUDE.md editing.
|
||||
|
||||
**How it works**:
|
||||
- Claude automatically identifies key information during conversations (preferences, decisions, patterns)
|
||||
- Memories are stored per-project, separate from CLAUDE.md files
|
||||
- Recalled automatically in future sessions relevant to that project
|
||||
- Opt-in feature — enable in settings
|
||||
|
||||
**What gets remembered** (examples):
|
||||
- Architectural decisions: "We use Prisma for database access"
|
||||
- Preferences: "This team prefers functional components over class components"
|
||||
- Project-specific patterns: "API routes follow RESTful naming in `/api/v1/`"
|
||||
- Known issues: "Don't use package X due to version conflict with Y"

||||

||||
| **Management** | Manual editing | Automatic capture |

|
||||
| **Visibility** | Git-tracked, team-shared | Local, per-user |
|
||||
| **Best for** | Team conventions, official decisions | Personal workflow patterns, discovered insights |
|
||||
|
||||
**Recommended workflow**:
|
||||
- **CLAUDE.md**: Team-level conventions everyone must follow
|
||||
- **Auto-memories**: Personal discoveries and contextual notes
|
||||
- **When in doubt**: Document in CLAUDE.md for team visibility

The Claude Code team uses a pattern where permission requests are routed to a **more capable model** acting as a security gate, rather than relying solely on static rule matching.

||||
|

**Concept**: A `PreToolUse` hook intercepts permission requests and forwards them to Opus 4.5 (or another capable model) via the API. The gate model scans for prompt injection, dangerous patterns, and unexpected tool usage — then auto-approves safe requests or blocks suspicious ones.

### Extended Thinking (Opus 4.5+) & Adaptive Thinking (Opus 4.6+)
|
||||
|
||||
> **⚠️ Important Change (v2.0.67+)**: With Opus 4.5, **thinking mode is enabled by default at maximum budget**. The keywords "think", "think hard", "ultrathink" are now **cosmetic only** — they no longer control behavior.
|
||||
> **⚠️ Breaking Change (Opus 4.6, Feb 2026)**: Opus 4.6 replaces **budget-based thinking** with **Adaptive Thinking**, which automatically decides when to use deep reasoning based on query complexity. The `budget_tokens` parameter is **deprecated** on Opus 4.6.
|
||||
|
||||
#### What Changed
|
||||
#### Evolution Timeline
|
||||
|
||||
| Aspect | Before v2.0.67 | After v2.0.67 (Opus 4.5) |
|
||||
|--------|----------------|--------------------------|
|
||||
| Default state | Thinking off (opt-in) | Thinking on at max budget |
|
||||
| Keywords effect | Activated/boosted thinking | No effect (cosmetic) |
|
||||
| Control method | Prompt keywords | Alt+T toggle, `/config` |
|
||||
| Budget control | Variable (~4K/10K/32K) | Always maximum |
|
||||
| Version | Thinking Approach | Control Method |
|
||||
|---------|-------------------|----------------|
|
||||
| **Opus 4.5** (pre-v2.0.67) | Opt-in, keyword-triggered (~4K/10K/32K tokens) | Prompt keywords |
|
||||
| **Opus 4.5** (v2.0.67+) | Always-on at max budget | Alt+T toggle, `/config` |
|
||||
| **Opus 4.6** (Feb 2026) | **Adaptive thinking** (dynamic depth) | `effort` parameter (API), Alt+T (CLI) |
|
||||
|
||||
#### Adaptive Thinking (Opus 4.6)
|
||||
|
||||
**How it works**: The model dynamically calibrates reasoning depth based on query complexity. No fixed token budget — thinking adapts to the task.
|
||||
|
||||
**Effort levels** (API only):
|
||||
- `low`: Minimal thinking, faster responses
|
||||
- `medium`: Moderate reasoning
|
||||
- `high` (default): Extended thinking when useful
|
||||
- `max`: Maximum reasoning depth
|
||||
|
||||
**API syntax**:
|
||||
```python
|
||||
response = client.messages.create(
|
||||
model="claude-opus-4-6",
|
||||
max_tokens=16000,
|
||||
thinking={"type": "adaptive", "effort": "high"}, # low|medium|high|max
|
||||
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Analyze..."}]
|
||||
)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**CLI usage**: Same as before — Alt+T toggles thinking on/off globally. No per-request effort control in CLI (uses model's default `high`).
|
||||
|
||||
#### Controlling Thinking Mode
|
||||
|
||||
| Method | Action | Persistence |
|
||||
|--------|--------|-------------|
|
||||
| **Alt+T** (Option+T on macOS) | Toggle thinking on/off | Current session |
|
||||
| **/config** → Thinking mode | Enable/disable globally | Across sessions |
|
||||
| **Ctrl+O** | View thinking blocks (verbose) | Display only |
|
||||
| Method | Opus 4.5 | Opus 4.6 | Persistence |
|
||||
|--------|----------|----------|-------------|
|
||||
| **Alt+T** (Option+T on macOS) | Toggle on/off | Toggle on/off | Current session |
|
||||
| **/config** → Thinking mode | Enable/disable globally | Enable/disable globally | Across sessions |
|
||||
| **API `effort` parameter** | N/A (uses `budget_tokens`) | `low\|medium\|high\|max` | Per request |
|
||||
| **Ctrl+O** | View thinking blocks | View thinking blocks | Display only |
|
||||
|
||||
#### Cost Implications
|
||||
|
||||
Thinking tokens are billed. With thinking enabled by default:
|
||||
Thinking tokens are billed. With adaptive thinking:
|
||||
- **Opus 4.6**: Thinking usage varies dynamically (less predictable than fixed budget)
|
||||
- **Simple tasks**: Consider Alt+T to disable → faster responses, lower cost
|
||||
- **Complex tasks**: Leave enabled → better reasoning, worth the cost
|
||||
- **Sonnet/Haiku**: No extended thinking available (Opus 4.5 only). Note: The warning "Ultrathink no longer does anything" appears on **all models** (including Sonnet), even though the feature itself is Opus-only
|
||||
- **Complex tasks**: Leave enabled → better reasoning, adaptive depth
|
||||
- **Sonnet/Haiku**: No extended thinking available (Opus 4.5/4.6 only)

**New features**:
|
||||
- **Fast mode API**: Add `speed: "fast"` + beta header `fast-mode-2026-02-01` for 2.5x faster responses (6x cost)

### 9.18.4 Token-Efficient Codebase
|
||||
### 9.18.4 Documentation Formats for Agents (llms.txt)
|
||||
|
||||
**Problem**: Agents need to discover and consume project documentation efficiently. Traditional documentation (wikis, Confluence) is hard to find and parse. MCP doc servers require installation and configuration.
|
||||
|
||||
**Solution**: Use the llms.txt standard for AI-optimized documentation indexing.
|
||||
|
||||
#### What is llms.txt?
|
||||
|
||||
llms.txt is a lightweight standard for making documentation discoverable to LLMs. It's like `robots.txt` for AI agents—a simple index file that tells agents where to find relevant documentation.
|
||||
|
||||
**Specification**: https://llmstxt.org/
|
||||
|
||||
**Format**: Plain text file at `/llms.txt` or `/machine-readable/llms.txt` containing:
|
||||
- Markdown content directly (inline docs)
|
||||
- Links to external documentation files
|
||||
- Structured sections for different topics

#### Why llms.txt Complements MCP Servers
|
||||
|
||||
llms.txt and MCP doc servers solve **different problems**:
|
||||
|
||||
| Aspect | llms.txt | Context7 MCP |
|
||||
|--------|----------|--------------|
|
||||
| **Purpose** | Static documentation index | Runtime library lookup |
|
||||
| **Setup** | Zero config (just a file) | Requires MCP server install |
|
||||
| **Content** | Project-specific docs | Official library docs |
|
||||
| **Token cost** | Low (index only, ~500 tokens) | Medium (full doc fetching) |
|
||||
| **Use case** | Project README, architecture | React API, Next.js patterns |
|
||||
| **Update frequency** | Manual (on doc changes) | Automatic (tracks library versions) |
|
||||
|
||||
**Best practice**: Use **both**:
|
||||
- llms.txt for project-specific documentation (architecture, conventions, getting started)
|
||||
- Context7 MCP for official library documentation (React hooks, Express API)

## Architecture Decisions
|
||||
- Why microservices: docs/decisions/ADR-001.md (line 15)
|
||||
- Event-driven design: docs/architecture.md#event-bus (line 230)
|
||||
- Database strategy: docs/decisions/ADR-005.md (line 42)
|
||||
|
||||
## Common Patterns
|
||||
- Authentication flow: src/services/auth-service.ts (line 78-125)
|
||||
- Error handling: CLAUDE.md#error-patterns (line 150)
|
||||
- Rate limiting: src/middleware/rate-limiter.ts (line 45)
|
||||
|
||||
## Domain Knowledge
|
||||
- Event lifecycle: docs/domain/events.md
|
||||
- Payment processing: docs/domain/payments.md
|
||||
- Webhook handling: docs/domain/webhooks.md
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Line numbers** help agents jump directly to relevant sections without reading entire files.
|
||||
|
||||
#### When to Update llms.txt
|
||||
|
||||
Update llms.txt when:
|
||||
- Adding new major documentation files
|
||||
- Restructuring docs directory
|
||||
- Documenting new architectural patterns
|
||||
- Adding ADRs (Architecture Decision Records)
|
||||
- Creating domain-specific guides
|
||||
|
||||
**Don't** update for:
|
||||
- Code changes (unless architecture shifts)
|
||||
- Minor doc tweaks
|
||||
- Dependency updates
|
||||
|
||||
#### Integration with CLAUDE.md
|
||||
|
||||
llms.txt and CLAUDE.md serve different purposes:
|
||||
|
||||
| File | Purpose | Audience |
|
||||
|------|---------|----------|
|
||||
| **CLAUDE.md** | Active instructions, project context | Claude during this session |
|
||||
| **llms.txt** | Documentation index | Claude discovering resources |
|
||||
|
||||
**Pattern**: Reference llms.txt from CLAUDE.md:
|
||||
|
||||
```markdown
|
||||
# CLAUDE.md
|
||||
|
||||
## Project Documentation
|
||||
|
||||
Complete documentation is indexed in `machine-readable/llms.txt`.
|
||||
|
||||
Key resources:
|
||||
- Architecture overview: docs/architecture.md
|
||||
- API reference: docs/api.md
|
||||
- Testing guide: docs/testing.md
|
||||
|
||||
For domain-specific knowledge, consult llms.txt index.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Real-World Example: This Guide
|
||||
|
||||
This guide uses both llms.txt and CLAUDE.md:
|
||||
|
||||
**llms.txt** (`machine-readable/llms.txt`):
|
||||
- Indexes all major sections with line numbers
|
||||
- Points to templates in `examples/`
|
||||
- References workflows in `guide/workflows/`
|
||||
|
||||
**CLAUDE.md** (`CLAUDE.md`):
|
||||
- Active project context (repo structure, conventions)
|
||||
- Current focus (guide version, changelog)
|
||||
- Working instructions (version sync, landing sync)
|
||||
|
||||
**Result**: Agents can discover content via llms.txt, then consult CLAUDE.md for active context.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Specification Resources
|
||||
|
||||
- **Official spec**: https://llmstxt.org/
|
||||
- **Community examples**: https://github.com/topics/llms-txt
|
||||
- **This guide's implementation**: `machine-readable/llms.txt`
|
||||
|
||||
**Not recommended source**: Framework-specific blog posts (often present llms.txt in opposition to MCP servers, when they're complementary).
