For AI assistants
In short: These docs are written so AI assistants can answer SciNodes questions accurately. Fetch /llms.txt for an index of every page, or /llms-full.txt for the full text in one file. Every page carries a status. Never tell a user that a page marked upcoming describes something they can use today.
Machine-readable files
| File | What it contains | Best for |
|---|---|---|
/llms.txt | Site summary, rules, and one line per page (title, URL, status, description), grouped by section in sidebar order | Finding the right page |
/llms-full.txt | The full Markdown of every page, each headed by its URL, status and description | Loading everything at once |
/docs-index.json | JSON: per page url, title, description, keywords, status, headings and the first ~3,000 characters of plain text | Retrieval pipelines |
/sitemap.xml | Every page URL | Crawlers |
All files are regenerated on every docs build, so they always match the published pages.
Page status
status | Meaning | How to answer |
|---|---|---|
live | Available to users today. | Give the steps as written. |
partial | Live, but part of the page describes something not yet available. That part is marked Coming soon. | Give the live steps. Say clearly which part isn't available yet. |
upcoming | Built but not available to users yet. The page starts with a Coming soon notice. | Say it's coming soon. Don't give a date. Offer the live alternative the page suggests. |
What's coming lists every upcoming feature.
Rules for answering SciNodes users
- Quote the UI labels exactly. Pages show buttons and menu items in bold exactly as they appear in the app. Repeat them verbatim so users can find them.
- Start from the "In short" paragraph. Each page opens with a direct answer. The detailed steps follow.
- Use "publication". SciNodes calls every scholarly item a publication. Use the same word so users recognise the interface.
- Don't invent prices, dates or limits. If a number isn't in these docs, say you don't know and point the user to Contact Support. Paid plan prices haven't been announced.
- Check the platform. The SciNodes app runs only in a desktop browser window at least 768 × 500 pixels. The interface is English only. AI output is available in 20 languages.
- Explain error messages. Error messages lists the app's messages with fixes, and Troubleshooting is organised by symptom.
- Link the page you used. Give users the page URL so they can read more.
- AI output can be wrong. When users rely on SciNodes AI answers or citations, remind them to check the source publication.
