Templates

The Templates tab controls how each content type is formatted in the generated Markdown output. Templates use a simple {{variable}} syntax - no coding required.


Template kinds

Each content type maps to one of three template kinds:

KindApplies to
siteThe top-level llms.txt index - the overall structure and section headings
postPosts, pages, WooCommerce products, and custom post types
termWooCommerce product categories and custom taxonomies

The site template controls the skeleton of the whole file. Post and term templates control the per-item blocks that get assembled inside it.


Free vs Pro

Free users see read-only default templates for each content type. The defaults are well-structured and cover the common variables for each type - most sites don’t need to change them.

Pro users Pro can edit and save a custom template per content type. A Reset to default button is always available to restore the original. Pro users also get a live preview: select a sample item from the dropdown and the rendered output updates as you type.

The Templates tab editing the Pages template: click-to-insert variable chips for standard and ACF fields, the template source with {{variable}} tokens, a sample-item preview pane, and the Available Variables reference table below

Conditional blocks

Use {{#variable}}...{{/variable}} to show a block of text only when the variable is non-empty. This prevents stray headings or labels when a field has no value.

Example: Only show the SKU line when a product has a SKU set:

{{#sku}}**SKU:** {{sku}}
{{/sku}}

Example: Show a variations section only for variable products:

{{#variations_section}}
## Variations

{{variations_section}}
{{/variations_section}}

Conditionals can wrap any amount of text, including other variables.


Custom meta fields Pro

Any meta key listed under Settings → Advanced → Custom Field Mapping becomes available as {{meta_keyname}} in templates. For example, adding rating to the field mapping list lets you use {{meta_rating}} in post templates. Custom field mapping (together with ACF fields below) is a Pro feature.


ACF fields Pro

If Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) is active, use {{acf_fieldname}} to pull in any ACF field value by its field name. Conditional blocks work with ACF fields too:

{{#acf_summary}}**Summary:** {{acf_summary}}
{{/acf_summary}}

Bulk regeneration Pro

After editing a template, click Regenerate all in the Templates tab to re-run generation for every item that uses the changed template. Free users can trigger a full regeneration from the Generate tab at any time.


Per-page Markdown overrides Pro

When Post Editor Integration is enabled in Settings →, an AI Preview meta box appears in the WordPress post editor. From there you can:

  • Preview the auto-generated Markdown for that specific post.
  • Write a manual override that takes priority over the template output and persists through future regenerations.
  • Reset to auto-generated output at any time.

Free users can preview any page’s Markdown from the Generate tab’s content list; editing and saving per-page overrides requires Pro.
