Provide WordPress Block Editor Docs as llms.txt for Better IDE Indexing

[jinsley8]

The block editor docs is quite extensive, and with modern AI-powered code editors like Copilot, Cursor, and Windsurf now capable of indexing documentation for enhanced developer efficiency, providing the docs in an llms.txt format would be highly beneficial.

1. Better AI Assistance – AI-powered editors can index llms.txt more efficiently, offering relevant suggestions and improving the WordPress developer experience.
2. Increased Adoption – Improved DX (Developer Experience) leads to faster adoption of the Block Editor among developers.
3. Ease of Indexing – Having an llms.txt format would streamline AI-based search and autocomplete features, making documentation more accessible. Currently, these editors have a hard time parsing all the HTML of the WP docs into memory.

Cloudflare is an example of where they've added an llms.txt version of their docs:

• llms.txt
• llms-full.txt

Mintlify is another example:

• llms.txt
• llms-full.txt

Firecrawl has a tool to enter the doc URLs to generate llms.txt which may be the most efficient way to accomplish this.

I think this would benefit from having an issue created rather than discussion. Did you already create one?

[jinsley8]

No, I didn't create an issue for this. This is all I've added so far.

To expand on this more, the block editor docs, plugin handbook and theme handbook would all benefit from having LLM accessible/indexable format to help developers.
