Get article as markdown

Use this skill when you want the source markdown for an article on iamsteve.me instead of the rendered HTML page.

When to use

• The user asks you to summarise, quote, or analyse a post.
• You need the article body without site chrome, navigation, or markup.
• You are building a citation, excerpt, or training-style example.

How it works

The site advertises markdown variants of HTML pages two ways:

1. Direct API — request the markdown route directly.
   • Blog posts: GET https://iamsteve.me/api/content/{slug}
   • Notes: GET https://iamsteve.me/api/content/notes/{slug}
2. Content negotiation — request the HTML URL with Accept: text/markdown and the site responds with the markdown variant.

The response uses Content-Type: text/markdown; charset=utf-8 and includes YAML frontmatter with title, author, date, description, categories, and the canonical URL.

Examples

# Direct API
curl https://iamsteve.me/api/content/horizontal-scrolling-responsive-menu

# Content negotiation
curl -H "Accept: text/markdown" \
  https://iamsteve.me/blog/horizontal-scrolling-responsive-menu
