Drew the first line on markdown-for-machines
Howard's llms.txt proposal (2024) made the strongest public case that the right substrate for machine-readable knowledge is markdown a human can also read — a curated index over clean .md, built so classical parsers and regex still work. He helped catalyze the broader markdown-as-protocol wave; Tropo is what that single-file idea looks like grown into a typed, validated, governed institution.
