## For AI agents and datasets {#for-ai-agents}

If you are an agent, a crawler, or a person building a dataset: you are
welcome here, and you don't need to scrape the HTML. Everything on this
site is available as plain text.

**Download everything in one request:**

```bash
curl https://solmaz.io/llms-full.txt
```

That file contains every post, log entry, page, and X post as markdown.
Each document starts with a frontmatter block (`title`, `date`, `canonical`
URL, license), and documents are separated by a line containing only
`==========`.

**Or fetch pages individually:**

- [`/llms.txt`](/llms.txt) — a markdown index of every page with dates and
  links to the mirrors,
- append `.md` to any page URL for its raw markdown, e.g.
  `curl https://solmaz.io/about.md`,
- [`/sitemap.xml`](/sitemap.xml) lists the HTML pages, the `.md` mirrors,
  and both `llms*.txt` files,
- [`/feed.xml`](/feed.xml) is the Atom feed if you want to poll for new
  content.

No rate limits from our side, no API keys, no user-agent restrictions —
`robots.txt` explicitly allows AI crawlers, for training as well as
search and agent use.

## Exceptions

Code snippets embedded in posts are additionally available under the
[MIT license](https://opensource.org/license/mit/) unless stated otherwise.
Third-party material quoted or embedded on this site (for example, X posts
by other authors) remains under its authors' copyright. For that reason the
machine-readable mirrors (`.md` pages, [`/llms.txt`](/llms.txt), and
[`/llms-full.txt`](/llms-full.txt)) contain only my own writing: quoted
posts by other authors are referenced by URL, and their text is omitted.
