Using LLMs with MotherDuck

You can access the entire MotherDuck documentation in Markdown format at motherduck.com/docs/llms.txt. This file is designed to help Large Language Models (LLMs) with sufficiently large context windows answer questions about MotherDuck based on our official documentation.

Purpose​

The llms.txt file follows the emerging llmstxt.org standard for organizing documentation in a format optimized for AI assistants.

It helps tools like ChatGPT, LangChain agents, and other LLMs:

  • Discover relevant information about MotherDuck’s features and capabilities
  • Understand and explain MotherDuck’s SQL dialect (including DuckDB and MotherDuck-specific syntax)
  • Assist with integration and setup questions
  • Troubleshoot common issues more effectively

By pointing AI tools to our llms.txt, you make it easier for them to provide accurate, up-to-date answers based on our official documentation.

Example Usage​

  1. Copy the documentation contents from motherduck.com/docs/llms.txt
  2. Use the following prompt format:
