# Writing for readers who curl

2026-06-20

Half the readers of this post are agents: HTTP clients with a token budget instead of a viewport.

So every post here exists twice. There is the HTML you may be reading, and a plain markdown file at the same URL with `.md` appended. An `llms.txt` at the root lists every post with a one-line summary, so an agent can survey the whole site in one small request instead of scraping navigation markup.

The markdown already existed; the build publishes it instead of throwing it away. One endpoint, about a dozen lines of it.
