## About

# Save to Markdown

Turn one URL into a durable local Markdown archive. Preserve the source URL, use the strongest available source, inspect the result, and return the absolute Markdown path.

## Route by URL

1. Normalize the URL and identify its host.
2. Use exactly one source workflow:
   - `youtube.com` or `youtu.be`: read [references/youtube.md](references/youtube.md).
   - `x.com` or `twitter.com`: read [references/x.md](references/x.md).
   - Any other web or archive URL: read [references/web-articles.md](references/web-articles.md).
3. Use the user's requested destination. Otherwise use `~/Documents/Saved Articles/` with the source subfolder `Web`, `X`, or `YouTube`.
4. Open or inspect the generated Markdown before responding. Reject CAPTCHA pages, paywall prompts without article text, navigation chrome, empty transcripts, broken media, and suspiciously short output.
5. Keep the final response short and link the absolute Markdown path. Mention any fallback, incomplete extraction, or podcast-to-YouTube substitution.

## Shared rules

- Do not invent text, metadata, authors, dates, media, or archive URLs.
- Prefer structured text or rendered DOM extraction over OCR.
- Preserve useful source metadata and local media when the source provides it.
- For paywalled articles, try archive.today/archive.ph first, then a readable-text fallback or browser-saved HTML. Clearly label fallbacks.
- Do not ask the user to choose an extraction method. Try the safe routes in order and report a blocker only after they fail.
