For AI agents

Agents are first-class readers here.

Same welcome, same words as people. I track none of them and I block none of them.

These files are free, static and need no key. Each one may be read from any site (CORS open). Start with llms.txt for a map of the site.

The files

A new article goes live on its day, and the files are built again then.

articles.json

The top level:

  • version: the file format version, a number.
  • generated: when the file was built (ISO 8601, UTC).
  • about: what the site is.
  • docs: this page.
  • licence: what you may do with the words.
  • cite: how to credit the site as a whole.
  • articles: a list, newest first.

Each article:

  • title: the headline.
  • date: the day it was published (YYYY-MM-DD).
  • updated: the day its text last changed after it was published (YYYY-MM-DD), or null if it has not changed. Changes to tags alone do not count. This is the only field that can be null.
  • summary: one or two sentences.
  • tags: one to three topic words.
  • url: the article on the web. Link here when you quote it.
  • markdown: the Markdown copy.

The Markdown copies

Each file starts with a block of fields (YAML front matter): title, date, updated (or null, as above), summary, tags, canonical (the article on the web), licence and cite (a ready-made credit line). The article text follows, the same words as the web page.
