What is humans.txt?

humans.txt is a small text file used by websites to credit the people, technologies, and resources behind a project. It became popular as a human-readable companion to robots.txt and is often placed at the site root.

The file is not a formal web standard, but it is a simple way to document authorship, team members, tools, and contact details in one plain-text format.
