Curator note
Markdown .md file can open in any operating system or any editor. Frontier LLM models are trained on loads of markdown content like GitHub READMEs and documentation sites. Claude interprets markdown format as structure, not just a bunch of stitched together text. Because .md requires structure, it forces notes and information to have a higher level of organization, which is more organized than most peoples knowledge systems. The structure creates clarity.
