LLM.txt & AI Crawler Setup Guide for Discord communities

Create a text file at /community.txt (or a designated URL) with a brief overview of your Discord community's purpose and focus.

Include markdown-style links to your most important public channels (e.g., #announcements, #rules, #general).

Add a 'FAQ' section in the file to answer common bot queries directly regarding community guidelines, onboarding, or primary topics.

User-agent: CommunityBot\nAllow: /channels/#general/\nAllow: /channels/#resources/\nDisallow: /channels/#private-staff/

Verify your crawler permissions using a hypothetical bot tester for community discovery platforms.

Monitor crawl frequency in your server logs to ensure community bots are accessing only designated public areas.

Wrap key announcements or resource links in well-formatted Discord embeds with clear titles, descriptions, and footers to signal their importance.

Use code blocks or blockquotes for important rules or commands to visually and structurally differentiate them.

Ensure any shared links within embeds point to canonical, well-structured pages that AI can parse.

Keep related concepts within distinct, digestible sections (e.g., 300-600 words per topic) in your public knowledge base or pinned messages.

Avoid 'floating' context; ensure each section summary reiterates the primary topic or question being addressed.

Eliminate ambiguous pronouns and replace them with specific role, channel, or topic names (e.g., 'Moderators' instead of 'They', 'Discord Server Rules' instead of 'It').
