markdown.new URL Prefix

Whenever you need to visit a website URL, you must:

1. rewrite it to go through https://markdown.new/, then
2. visit the rewritten URL, and
3. pull the Markdown content from that page for use in your answer/notes.

Rewrite Rule

1. Normalize the destination into an absolute URL with a scheme (https:// preferred).
2. Prefix it with https://markdown.new/ (do not drop the original scheme).

Examples

• https://example.com -> https://markdown.new/https://example.com
• https://example.com/docs?a=1#b -> https://markdown.new/https://example.com/docs?a=1#b
• example.com -> https://markdown.new/https://example.com

Agent Workflow (Required)

When you would normally open a website to read it:

1. Produce the rewritten markdown.new URL.
2. Visit the rewritten URL first (not the original), but only when it is likely to work (see Policy below).
3. Extract the page content from the Markdown view (the rendered Markdown and/or the raw Markdown).
4. Use that extracted Markdown as the source for summaries, quotes, checklists, or copy/pasteable notes.

If the markdown.new view fails to load or breaks critical functionality, fall back to the original URL for browsing, but still prefer markdown.new for any content extraction if possible.

Policy: When To Use markdown.new (Required)

Do NOT route every site through markdown.new. Use it primarily for "read-only" pages where you want clean, extractable text:

• Documentation pages
• Blog posts / announcements / changelogs
• GitHub issues/PR discussions (when you just need readable text)
• Articles and guides

Skip markdown.new and go straight to the original URL when the destination is likely to be blocked or requires the original site behavior:
