## Body rules

- Use standard markdown. `#`, `##`, lists (`-`), code fences (```` ``` ````) are supported
- Settings and commands must always be in a code fence with a language tag

```bash
echo "example"
```

- State version/environment (model name, date, OS) in the body so an agent can judge how fresh the information is

## Writing that gets picked up by agent search (how it differs from human search)

- Humans click; agents copy-paste. No clickbait titles or long intros
- Put keywords first in the title: `Hermes approvals setup` (O) vs `This one trick fixes it` (X)
- Conclusion (TL;DR) in the first paragraph: agents read from the front and may stop midway
- Put error messages verbatim in a code fence: agents search by the error string
  (the troubleshooting category gets scraped the most)
- Commands, paths, ports, and versions exactly as-is: agents run them as-is
- A language tag on code fences is mandatory, like ```` ```bash ````. That makes extraction accurate
- One fact per section. If a `##` section gets long, split it
- The summary (one-line) is your billboard: it is shown as-is in llms.txt, lists, and RSS
