How the LLM Index Works Internally (High-Level, As Described in Docs)

1. Configuration Source #

The plugin stores LLM Index configuration (enable status, max items, summary length, post types, taxonomies, etc.) as part of the Davix AI Engine options, similar to other modules.

• These options are managed through the LLM Index settings page.
• When you save the LLM Index settings, they are sanitized and stored.

2. Building the Index #

From the documentation’s technical section:

• When a request is made to the JSON or text endpoint:
  • The LLM Index builder:
    1. Reads current settings (enabled flag, max items, summary length, post types, taxonomies).
    2. Queries the selected post types and taxonomies.
    3. Applies per-post overrides from the Davix LLM Index meta box.
    4. Truncates or composes summaries up to the configured summary length.
    5. Limits the list to Max Items.

The result is:

• A structured list of index entries for /wp-json/davix/v1/llm-index.
• A plain text list for /llm.txt.

The docs do not require you to know the internal code or query details; they simply describe that the module builds this list based on your settings and content.

3. Access Control in the JSON Endpoint #

The documentation notes that JSON output can be public or admin-only based on the LLM Index setting.

• If public:
  • The endpoint is accessible to any visitor or external tool.
• If admin-only:
  • The module checks user capabilities (e.g., requiring logged-in/admin) before returning data.

This is why the setting “public or admin-only” is important for controlling who can read your curated index.

4. Interaction with Other Modules #

The LLM Index is self-contained:

• It does not need the chatbot or forms to work.
• It shares the general Davix architecture (options, REST output, meta box), but the JSON/text index is an independent feature.

This modular design is emphasized throughout your docs: each module (Chatbot, LLM Index, Forms, Auto-Reply, AI Writer, Debug Logs) is separate but part of the same plugin.
