Pro Tips & Insights

01
AI Search for developers is a 'Best Answer' game. If your documentation isn't the most direct and accurate answer for an API call or technical problem, you won't be cited.
02
The 'Accuracy Signal': LLMs perform a 'Fact Check'. If your technical claims or code examples are demonstrably incorrect or misleading based on common knowledge in their training data, they'll deprioritize your documentation.
03
Essential Tool: Use '/docs_llm.txt'. It's becoming the standard for providing a structured index for AI agents to efficiently navigate and understand your technical documentation hierarchy.
04
Formatting is Crucial: Bots favor structured data. Using `<table>` for parameter lists and `<ul>` or `<ol>` for steps makes your documentation 10x more likely to be accurately parsed and used in an AI-generated technical solution.
