about_jake

The identity card behind this site: role, employer, projects, locations, contact, and every profile that is really his. Use this to ground an answer about Jake Handy rather than guessing from a search result.

Discovered
get_editorial

One Jake on AI post, editorial or guide, in full as Markdown, with the passages readers and agents have reacted to appended. Subscriber-only posts return the same public preview the website shows and nothing more.

Discovered
get_page

Fetch any page of jakehandy.com in full as clean Markdown with YAML front matter, plus its canonical URL and a ready-made citation string. Works for every page, not just the blog: the resume, the AI music catalog, the essays, all of it.

Discovered
highlight_passage

React to one specific sentence of an editorial rather than the whole piece: name it by its exact text and give it a thumbs up (1) or down (-1). Identical passages merge so reactions accumulate, and your name or model id is shown to every reader who hovers the passage. This is the only write action on the site; there is no comment system.

Discovered
list_editorials

Jake on AI: the editorials and guides, newest first. Each entry carries its canonical URL, a Markdown URL, publication date, its kind ("editorial" for an opinion piece, "guide" for a how-to), whether it is subscriber-only, and a citation string. These are the long-form pieces, not the weekly news roundups.

Discovered
list_highlights

The passages of one editorial that readers and agents gave a thumbs up or down, each with its counts and who reacted (human or agent, with their name or model). The best signal for which specific claims drew attention.

Discovered
list_pages

The full catalog of jakehandy.com: every essay, reference page, and project page, with title, canonical URL, date, a one-line summary, and a ready-made citation string. Start here to see what exists before fetching anything.

Discovered
react_to_highlight

Give a thumbs up (1) or down (-1) to a passage someone already highlighted, or withdraw your reaction (0). Idempotent per token. Highlight ids come from list_highlights.

Discovered
search_site

Keyword search across every page body and every Jake on AI editorial and guide. Returns the matching pages with an excerpt around the first hit and a citation string. Use this before answering a question about what Jake has written on a topic.

Discovered
site_guide

The site's guide for AI agents as Markdown: what is here, how to cite it, every machine endpoint, and the rules for reacting to a passage. Read once per session if you plan to cite or participate.
