Notes for Reviewers

llms.txt and llms-full.txt currently list every Kanvas release (460+), and the "View as Markdown" link appears outside the page-meta column on the home page and the /videos/ landing page.

Changes

  • Release cap: layouts/index.llms and layouts/index.llmsfull override the llms-txt module's templates (same pinned version) with one added block. It reads a new [params.llms.limit_sections] setting in hugo.toml and excludes all but the newest N pages of each listed section. Kanvas releases are set to 5.

  • Stray links: the direct page-markdown-link.html calls are removed from layouts/home.html and layouts/video/video.html. The link now appears only through page-meta-links.html. /index.md and /videos/index.md are still generated and listed in llms.txt.

  • Docs: CONTRIBUTING.md is updated to match.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added generated llms.txt and full-content llms-full.txt outputs, with options to include or exclude pages and limit configured sections to their newest pages.
    • The Kanvas releases section is limited to its five newest pages in these outputs.
  • Documentation
    • Updated Markdown export guidance, including link placement, page exclusions, section limits, and layout requirements.
  • Changes
    • The home and /videos/ landing pages no longer display Markdown links. Documentation pages show them in the right-hand metadata column.

- Override the llms-txt module's index.llms and index.llmsfull templates
  to support params.llms.limit_sections, and cap
  /kanvas/reference/releases/ to the newest 5 releases by date.
- Remove the "View as Markdown" link from the home page and the /videos/
  landing page, where it rendered outside the page-meta column.
  Their index.md output is still generated and listed in llms.txt.
- Update CONTRIBUTING.md: add the link only via page-meta-links.html,
  and document limit_sections.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pull request adds configurable generation of llms.txt and llms-full.txt, including URL filters and section page limits. It also removes Markdown link metadata blocks from the home and video layouts and updates contributor guidance.

Changes

LLM Markdown exports

Layer / File(s) Summary
Markdown link placement
CONTRIBUTING.md, layouts/home.html, layouts/video/video.html
Contributor guidance describes where Markdown links appear and which pages omit them. The home and video layouts no longer render the Markdown link metadata block.
Configure and generate llms.txt
CONTRIBUTING.md, hugo.toml, layouts/index.llms
The configuration limits the Kanvas release section to five pages. The template applies include and exclude patterns and section limits, then emits eligible pages with Markdown permalinks when available.
Generate llms-full.txt
layouts/index.llmsfull
The full-content template applies URL filters and section limits, then emits eligible pages with content or description and summary fallbacks.

- Line 45: Move the limit_sections block outside the exclusion-pattern range in
the llms template. Ensure section limiting runs even when there are no
exclusions and that excluded releases are not appended once per exclusion
pattern.
- Line 16: Update the `strings.HasSuffix` wildcard matching in the include and
exclude checks so `/**` matches the directory itself or paths beneath it, but
not similarly prefixed sibling paths such as `/docs-archive/`. Normalize the
matched directory’s trailing slash and require either an exact URL match or a
prefix followed by `/`.

Review comments at @layouts/index.llmsfull:
- Line 45: Move the `llms.limit_sections` range outside the `llms.exclude` range
in the `/llms-full.txt` template so section caps are applied even when
`llms.exclude` is empty; continue excluding pages beyond each configured cap
using Hugo’s `after` behavior.
- Line 16: Update the `strings.HasSuffix` rule branch in
`layouts/index.llmsfull` so a `/section/**` pattern matches only the exact
section path or paths beneath it at a `/` boundary; do not let the trimmed
section prefix match similarly named sections such as `/docs-archive/`.

🌐 Web query:

github gethugothemes hugo-modules llms-txt include exclude URL pattern /** descendants path wildcard

💡 Result:

Yes. The module’s documented patterns are:

- `/images/blog/*` — immediate children only.
- `/images/blog/**` — the directory and all nested pages/directories.
- `exclude` uses the same wildcard formats as `include`.

So use `/**` to match descendants. The guide doesn’t specify finer details like whether matching is segment-aware or whether trailing slashes matter. ([gethugothemes.com](https://gethugothemes.com/how-to-add-llms-txt-to-hugo-website))

One caveat: the wildcard rules are documented in Gethugothemes’ guide, but I couldn’t verify their exact implementation in the repository source. ([github.com](https://github.com/gethugothemes/hugo-modules))

Require a path boundary for /** matches.

With an include or exclude entry of /docs/**, this branch checks for the prefix /docs. It therefore can include /docs-archive/ pages or exclude them from llms.txt. Match the directory itself or a path beginning with /docs/.

Keep /** matches within the named section.

When a rule is /docs/**, trimming /** leaves /docs. HasPrefix then also matches /docs-archive/. An include rule adds that unrelated section; an exclude rule removes it. Match the section path and its /-delimited descendants instead. Hugo’s HasPrefix tests a string prefix, not a path boundary. (gohugo.io)

🟡 Minor · Filter the section link separately from its eligible children. · index.llms:97-110

layouts/index.llms:97-110
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Filter the section link separately from its eligible children.

When an exact exclusion matches $section.RelPermalink but not a child URL, the child passes the filter and makes $filteredPages non-empty. The template then emits the excluded section URL in llms.txt; llms-full.txt omits that section’s content block. Check the section URL before emitting its link, and keep the eligible child links.

Suggested fix
 {{- $sectionUrl := $section.Permalink -}}
 {{- with $section.OutputFormats.Get "md" }}{{- $sectionUrl = .Permalink -}}{{- end }}
+{{- $showSection := partial "llms_is_valid_page.html" (dict "url" $section.RelPermalink "includeList" $includeList "excludeList" $excludeList) }}
+{{- if $showSection }}
 - [{{ $section.Title }}]({{ $sectionUrl }}){{ with $section.Params.description }}: {{ . }}{{ end }}
+{{- end }}

Revert the local copies of the llms-txt module's index.llms and
index.llmsfull templates added in #1276 and the custom limit_sections
param they implemented. Copies stop tracking upstream fixes.

Exclude the per-version Cloud and Kanvas release pages with the
module's own params.llms.exclude instead (/* matches direct children).
