Feed context to AI models
Links are brittle context. Most models can't open a URL, and the ones that can often get a login wall or a preview card. Markdown is the universal language of LLM context.
Why Markdown beats a link
- It's already parsed — no HTML, no JSON, no embeds.
- It's token-efficient — you pay only for the words that matter.
- It's portable — the same text works in ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Cursor.
A good prompt pattern
Here is a thread for context. Summarize the three key claims
and list any sources the author links to.

Working with long threads
For multi-post threads, request the unrolled version so the model sees the argument in order rather than a single fragment. Long-context models like Claude handle these especially well.
