Description
Kolibia Agent-Ready makes WordPress content available as Markdown so tools and agents do not have to scrape HTML. Behaviour follows common content negotiation patterns (similar in spirit to Markdown for Agents on Cloudflare): clients that prefer Markdown can request it explicitly.
What is included today
- Markdown responses for singular content — For each built-in public post type registered by WordPress core (
post,page,attachmenton a typical site), a single-item URL can returnContent-Type: text/markdown; charset=UTF-8instead of the themed HTML page. - Markdown for the posts index — When the site front page shows latest posts (WordPress “Your homepage displays: Your latest posts”), the homepage and other blog-index URLs return Markdown listing the same posts as the main loop.
- Static or WooCommerce shop front page — When a page is set as the front page (including a WooCommerce shop page where WordPress reports
is_singularas false), that page’s content is still served as Markdown on/when clients negotiatetext/markdown. - When Markdown is served
- The request includes an
Acceptheader that liststext/markdown(requests withtext/markdown;q=0are ignored). - Or the URL includes the query argument
output_format=md(handy for browsers and manual testing).
- The request includes an
- HTML to Markdown — Rendered post body is passed through WordPress’s
the_contentfilters, then converted to Markdown using the league/html-to-markdown library. A short YAML front matter block includestitleandpermalink. - Password-protected content — If a password is required, the response is a small Markdown message instead of the full body.
- Discovery in HTML — On the normal HTML view, the plugin prints
<link rel="alternate" type="text/markdown" href="…?output_format=md" />so clients can find the Markdown URL. - Admin shortcut — On the posts and pages list screens, a row action View as AI Agent opens the same Markdown URL (preview URLs are used for drafts where WordPress would show Preview).
Developer filters

FAQ
-
Do I need to configure anything?
-
No. Just activate the plugin and you’re good to go. AI Agents will automatically discover your site’s content.
-
Does this replace my theme for visitors?
-
No. Normal visitors still get HTML. Markdown is returned only when
text/markdownis negotiated or?output_format=mdis used (and the same permission rules as viewing the content apply). -
Which URLs are affected?
-
Singular URLs for built-in public types from core (typically posts, pages, and media attachment pages), plus the posts index when it is the blog home (
is_home()), including the common “latest posts on front page” setup. A static page as the front page is served as Markdown like any other singular page. Custom post types are not included unless you add them via thekolibia_ar_markdown_post_typesfilter.
