Turning LLMs into Teachers, Auditors, and Publishers

An update from the protocol ecosystem

🧠 Turning LLMs into Teachers, Auditors, and Publishers

One of the unique advantages of the .llmfeed.json format is that it is natively understandable by LLMs themselves.

This is not an accident β€” it’s a core design choice of the Model Context Protocol (MCP).


Why It Matters

Traditional data formats (like robots.txt, sitemap.xml, OpenAPI) are designed for software parsers.
They require specific tooling and are often opaque to human readers β€” and to LLMs.

.llmfeed.json is different:

βœ… It is self-describing
βœ… It uses structured natural language where relevant
βœ… It embeds trust and signature signals in ways that LLMs can explain and verify

This allows any modern LLM (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Mistral, open-source models...) to reason about a feed β€” without needing any special plugin.


How to Use LLMs to Understand Feeds

You can simply copy a .llmfeed.json file and feed it to an LLM with prompts like:

  • β€œExplain this feed to me block by block”
  • β€œDoes this feed look trustworthy? Why?”
  • β€œWhich blocks are signed or certified?”
  • β€œAre there any weaknesses or missing elements?”
  • β€œSuggest improvements for interoperability”
  • β€œGenerate a valid llmfeed.json with a prompt + trust + signature”

What Roles Can LLMs Play?

πŸ§‘β€πŸ« Teachers

  • Explain how the feed works
  • Clarify the purpose of each block
  • Help new developers understand how to implement MCP

πŸ•΅οΈ Auditors

  • Check compliance with MCP
  • Detect unsigned or unverifiable blocks
  • Point out inconsistencies or risks
  • Simulate how an agent would interpret the feed

πŸ€– Publishers

  • Generate new feeds from existing content
  • Assist in drafting trust disclaimers
  • Propose signed blocks and help prepare for certification
  • Help automate the creation of agent-friendly content

Example Scenario

You run a developer documentation site.
You want agents (like AI-first browsers or LLM tools) to trust your content and interact with it properly.

You can:

1️⃣ Create a .llmfeed.json that describes your site
2️⃣ Sign it and publish it in .well-known/
3️⃣ Feed it to ChatGPT with:

β€œDoes this feed correctly represent the trust level of this site? Are there any gaps?”

4️⃣ Improve it iteratively β€” with the help of the LLM itself


Why This Is a Game-Changer

Most current standards assume that the only interpreters are software agents hard-coded by vendors.

MCP assumes that LLMs themselves are active participants:

  • They can teach users about what a feed does
  • They can audit feeds and signal trustworthiness
  • They can generate new feeds and participate in an open ecosystem

This dramatically lowers the barrier to adoption:

  • No special tools required β†’ just an LLM and your .llmfeed.json
  • Human-in-the-loop is supported and encouraged
  • Trust and transparency are verifiable and explainable

Final Thought

This is not a side benefit β€” it’s at the heart of the MCP vision:

πŸ‘‰ A web where agents and humans can jointly reason about trust and intent.
