Should we include llms-full.txt when using the markdown formatter?

I recently added the markdown formatter to one of our internal projects, and I asked Claude to analyze the generated llms.txt file, and among the suggestions it did was to consider adding a llms-full.txt file as well:

Potential improvements to consider:

1. llms-full.txt — A single concatenated file with all content inline. Useful when an agent needs comprehensive context without making multiple fetches. The llms.txt convention supports both: llms.txt as the index, llms-full.txt as the full dump.

So, the question is, should ex_doc produce this file as well? /cc @josevalim

I am afraid the file will be impractically large for a huge amount of projects. It would only make sense if the agents are first writing it to disk and then grepping it, but I am not aware of anyone doing that.

Closing for now. If anyone has evidence llms-full.txt is better (and it won't bloat the context), please reach out!
