Updated 1 Oct 2026
On this page
For agents
Load this page when: you are an agent (or building one) that needs Trove docs as plain Markdown, or you got HTML when you expected Markdown
- Start at https://docs.heytrove.ai/llms.txt and pick pages by their description.
- Add .md to any docs URL, or send Accept: text/markdown, to get Markdown.
- Load only the pages your task needs; use https://docs.heytrove.ai/llms-full.txt only to ingest everything.
Every Trove docs page is available as plain Markdown. Start at the index, pick the pages you need, and load only those.

What a Markdown page contains
Each Markdown page has the same shape. Links inside the page point to absolute .md URLs, so you can follow them directly.
- Frontmatter with
title,description,urlandupdated. - The
# titleheading. - A "Load this page when" line.
- The For agents bullets, a short summary of the page.
- The page body.
Ask for Markdown with the Accept header
Trove serves Markdown when text/markdown has a q value at least as high as text/html. Browsers send text/html, so they get HTML.
curl -H 'Accept: text/markdown' https://docs.heytrove.ai/quickstartLoad the smallest set of pages
Fetch llms.txt first. Pick one to three pages by their descriptions, then follow the links inside them. Use llms-full.txt only when you are asked to read everything, because it fills your context.
Response headers
| Header | Purpose |
|---|---|
Content-Type: text/markdown; charset=utf-8 | Marks the body as Markdown. |
Link: <html url>; rel="canonical" | Points to the HTML page for the same content. |
X-Robots-Tag: noindex | Keeps the Markdown twin out of search indexes. |
Vary: Accept | Tells caches that the response depends on the Accept header. |

404 with "Page not found" | The page does not exist or is not published. Fetch https://docs.heytrove.ai/llms.txt. |

| A redirect from the old domain | Follow redirects with curl -L. |
