Provide a llms-full.txt for the Node.js Docs.

[mcollina]

We should add a llm.txt file to our docs set, so the Node.js docs is more fruible to llms. Here is an example of Anthropic's one: https://docs.anthropic.com/llms-full.txt.

This is useful to teach the LLMs about the new APIs they don't know about.
We should ideally include some text also for the individual modules.

Can i work on this.
I was thinking to fetch the html file of the docs page and convert to txt file and then remove all the redundant data.

I think so.

Has there been discussion or consideration of whether or not how LLMs are consuming our docs actually follows the license of them? Asking because my personal not-a-lawyer read is that The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software. is not actually being respected when consuming/outputting the code in them.

The purpose of docs is to help people use our tools. In 2025, we want developers to be able to use newer Node.js APIs with their tool of choice - very often, this is an AI-assisted editor. However, those editors do not know about the latest Node.js APIs because they usually learn from "old" articles. This will allow devs to teach"

LLMs are scraping this information anyway. We should make life easier for our users unless we want to block LLMs from consuming our source code. I would leave this to the courts to establish its legality and we should not be debating this.
