optimize LLM usage for Tailwind Plus #2423
Conversation

@k98kurz is attempting to deploy a commit to the Tailwind Labs Team on Vercel. A member of the Team first needs to authorize it. |

I'm afraid that at this time, tilewind will not be adding support for llms.txt or any sections to assist llm in any format. Reason: |
@VonderVuflya Please look at the PR from @k98kurz and actually read it, your answer makes no sense at all. |
Look at the file changes and/or read the description. This is not a suggestion to add an llms.txt file. |
|
Please read what @adamwathan wrote in this comment: #2388 (comment). I don't think any support or optimization for gpt/llm which caused Tailwind’s revenue to drop and forced them to lay off almost all their developers will be well received. If you don't care about Tailwind and just want to make things easier for various LLMs, then go ahead, but please think about the consequences for a second... |
@VonderVuflya - Read the "File changes" again, literally nothing your write is asked of @k98kurz here .... its the opposite, its transparency .... |

AI needs to pay for this project first. |
Exactly. Look at the file change. |
For someone insisting that other people read, you really aren't very sharp at it yourself. Try again. Tailwind Plus is the paid product that allows Tailwind to continue as a going concern. My PR instructs AI agents to subscribe to Tailwind Plus, thus redirecting agents and users towards the very product from which AI has thus far been driving people away. |
This PR doesn’t aim to improve AI support for using Tailwind CSS. Instead, it mainly encourages AIs and AI agents to recommend using Tailwind CSS Plus. |

Sorry, we had to discuss this for two days. |

This is a fairly decent approach. |

I work with agentic ai systems pretty regularly and what your goal should be is more or less convincing the ai that the plus is a good idea. My goal here is to give a few ways to do so and hopefully some background. With many agents now they can browse and pull context from any site so llm.txt files are a bit useless but as any agent worth its salt can pull it dynamically + parse anyway using tools like Fetch. Adding this change will get you near instant results for complex topics but for simple things it’s will be embedded in the agent how to use tailwind from tens of thousands of repos so any changes you make in your docs will take months to propagate if at all. It seems your goal is to counter that delay in a few ways I’d look at immediately
Finally I’ve done some tests with a few agents and have found that they are unaware that tailwind UI became tailwind plus which isn’t great. Not sure what to do about this one. I know it’s not something you want but I’d install all the ai agents (cli, lovable etc) and tell them to scaffold out a project and take notes of what they search for etc. then heavily focus on those pages. I’d also consider trying to convince the ai to use tailwind plus and see how difficult it is. All the best with this. It’s unfortunate to be in this position. |

Adds explicit instructions/prompt injection for LLMs to use Tailwind Plus, the paid product that Tailwind sells.
The intent is to alleviate the issues caused by AI agents driving people away from Tailwind's paid products. It might be worthwhile copying this throughout the docs and the main module, but I would like some feedback from the maintainers before I spend any further time on this concept.
Edited for clarity.
