LLM documentation
The tldraw docs are optimized for use with large language models (LLMs). Whether you're using an AI coding assistant, building an agent that works with tldraw, or prompting a chat model, you can access our documentation in formats designed for LLM consumption.
llms.txt
We publish our documentation at tldraw.dev/llms.txt, following the llms.txt standard for providing LLM-friendly content. This file serves as an index to all SDK documentation, examples, and release notes.
The index includes links to several focused exports:
| File | Contents |
|---|---|
| llms.txt | Index with links to all resources |
| llms-full.txt | All SDK docs, releases, and examples |
| llms-docs.txt | SDK feature documentation only |
| llms-releases.txt | Release notes only |
| llms-examples.txt | Examples with full source code |
Using llms.txt with AI assistants
When working with an AI coding assistant, you can provide context by including the relevant llms.txt file in your prompt or conversation. For example:
- Use
llms-docs.txtwhen asking about SDK features, APIs, or implementation patterns - Use
llms-examples.txtwhen looking for code examples or implementation references - Use
llms-releases.txtwhen asking about recent changes or migration between versions - Use
llms-full.txtwhen you need comprehensive context across all documentation
Many AI tools support fetching URLs directly, so you can reference these files by URL in your prompts.
Copy markdown button
Every documentation page on tldraw.dev includes a "Copy markdown" button in the header. Click it to copy the page content as clean markdown, ready to paste into any LLM conversation.
This is useful when you want to:
- Ask an AI assistant about a specific feature
- Include documentation context in a prompt
- Reference our docs in your own documentation or notes
The copied markdown preserves headings, code blocks, links, and other formatting while removing site-specific elements that aren't relevant in a plain text context.
Building AI-powered apps
If you're building AI-powered applications with tldraw, see our AI integrations guide. It covers patterns for using the canvas with AI models, including:
- Using the canvas to display AI-generated content
- Building visual workflows with AI nodes
- Creating AI agents that can read and manipulate the canvas
