I’m wondering about best practices for pasting content from LW into LLM context.
I would like to have a QA with Claude about a set of posts, and seek a good text representation to paste into context. Web search APIs still seem a bit hit and miss, and think a custom solution could have value. Something like a ‘paste to markdown’ button would be ideal.
I think this code from 2022 might be a good first pass, which I found linked from this comment thread.
Does this sound like a good idea?
If so, might Lightcone Infrastructure be interested in creating such a feature?
Cool! Thanks Ruby!
Yes, would be keen to play around with that!
What sort of tech stack are you using for this?
Your idea of Claude-integration was super interesting—and got me thinking about how best to let arbitrary LLMs interface with LW/AF content.
So I asked Claude about it—see this chat.
Claude suggested that building a custom MCP server might be ‘straightforward’ - and would allow anyone using the Claude API to immediately use the MCP server to access a structured form of LW/AF output.
It would be ideal to have this as a default/optional feature of the Claude web-interface, but that would require Anthropic’s buy-in.
How excited are you about these directions?
Re making exporting easy: I think a ‘paste to markdown’ button would still/also be helpful—and that I’d use this a lot if available, even without LLM integrations. Do you think others would also be interested? / Is anyone else also interested?
