AI-optimized documentation

Locust provides machine-readable documentation optimized for use with LLMs and AI coding assistants, following the llms.txt standard.

Available files

File	Description	Use case
llms.txt	Lightweight index with links to all documentation pages and short descriptions	Quick reference, tool discovery
llms-full.txt	Complete documentation content in a single Markdown file (~200KB)	Full context for AI assistants

How to use

With AI coding assistants:

Many AI tools can ingest llms.txt or llms-full.txt directly. For example, you can point your assistant to https://docs.locust.io/en/stable/llms-full.txt to give it full context about Locust.

With CLI tools:

$ curl -s https://docs.locust.io/en/stable/llms-full.txt | your-llm-tool

As a CLAUDE.md reference:

See https://docs.locust.io/en/stable/llms-full.txt for full API and usage docs.

How it works

These files are auto-generated from the same RST source files that produce this HTML documentation. They are built during every documentation build using a Sphinx extension, so they are always up to date and never out of sync with the rest of the docs.

Excluded content: changelog, FAQ, and further reading pages are not included to keep the files focused on actionable documentation.
