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:
| Method | Best for | How |
|---|---|---|
| Per-page markdown | Chat interfaces (ChatGPT, Claude.ai) and coding agents | Append /index.md or .md to any documentation page URL. |
| Copy Markdown dropdown | Quick prompts with a single page | Click Copy page > Copy Markdown at the top of any documentation page. |
| Documentation index | Project rules and coding agents | Add 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:
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.
