Saves a named source to Markdown with provenance and faithful extraction through direct export endpoints. Use when asked to "save this article", "get the markdown", "transcribe this", or "keep this source". A URL supplied as task context alone does not trigger conversion; a chat summary stays in chat.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Save as Markdown Write the named source to a `.md` file, in full, and say where it is. The body comes from the fetched bytes, never from a summary. - **IS:** one named source (URL, attachment, paste, YouTube video, Google Doc, PDF) to one `.md` in the user's tree. - **IS NOT:** answering from a fetch, summarizing into chat, crawling beyond the URLs named, or reconstructing a talk from memory. ## Done A `.md` exists where the user can open it, with this frontmatter, and reading it back returns the source's last paragraph: ```yaml --- title: "<title>" source: "<URL or path>" date: "<date -u +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ, run now>" type: web | youtube | gdoc | sheet | slides | pdf | docx | tweet | conversation --- ``` Fetch with `curl -sSL -o <file> <url>` and read the file. Prefer a text endpoint over HTML chrome. A missing file with a named reason (paywall, login wall, bot check, private doc) beats a plausible one. | File | Read when | |------|-----------| | `references/source-endpoints.md` | Always, for the URL's host: the tested endpoint, its curl line, the failure each one shows, and the opt-in fallback reader | ## Gotchas …

How to install
mdr add mblode/agent-skills/save-md@sha256:d23c3ecd127d2b65The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260923.9c3211e, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
