Documentation for AI agents and LLMs

Edit page

Efficient ways for AI agents and LLMs to access and consume Expo documentation.


Use the following endpoints and tools to give AI agents and LLMs access to Expo documentation at lower token cost than fetching full web pages.

Quick start

Pick the method that matches your tool:

MethodBest forHow
Per-page markdownChat interfaces (ChatGPT, Claude.ai) and coding agentsAppend /index.md or .md to any documentation page URL.
Copy Markdown dropdownQuick prompts with a single pageClick Copy page > Copy Markdown at the top of any documentation page.
Documentation indexProject rules and coding agentsAdd the general-purpose index (/llms.txt) to your AI tool configuration.

Per-page markdown

Every documentation page has a lightweight markdown version accessible by appending either /index.md or .md to the page URL. Both URLs serve the same file. For example:

Introduction to development builds
https://docs.expo.dev/develop/development-builds/introduction/index.md https://docs.expo.dev/develop/development-builds/introduction.md

The above method is useful when you want to give an AI agent context about a specific topic or page without overwhelming it with the full HTML of that page.

Documentation index

Expo supports the llms.txt initiative to provide documentation for large language models (LLMs) and apps that use them.

The /llms.txt file (~54 kB) lists every documentation page with a link to its markdown version and a short description. An AI agent can use it to discover the relevant pages for a task and then fetch only those pages, instead of loading the complete documentation into its context window.
