Why it matters
Some sites recognise AI crawlers and serve them Markdown anyway, which reads far better than HTML.
How to pass
Optionally serve Markdown to known AI crawler User-Agents. It's a bonus, not a requirement.
Run it
Find agent-ua-markdown in the report. Add --md for a fix prompt you can paste into Claude Code, Codex or Cursor.
