  • Your agents deserve better memory. 🧠 With the HackMD CLI, you can bring your HackMD notes, prompts, skills, and project context right into your terminal. Keep knowledge flowing, reduce context switching, and give your AI workflows the space they need to grow. Just run: npm install -g @hackmd/hackmd-cli One command closer to smarter agents.

  • AI agents are only as useful as the context and workflows they can access. The official HackMD Skills repo gives teams a starting point for agent-ready Markdown workflows across Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and compatible harnesses. From syncing cross-agent work logs, to publishing plans into HackMD, to turning tradeoffs into visualizations, these skills help teams keep agent work visible, reusable, and connected. This is where documentation starts becoming infrastructure for human and agent collaboration.

  • AI tools are getting more powerful, but context still gets lost. When teams move between Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, coding agents, and internal workflows, important information often stays trapped in separate tools. HackMD creates a shared context layer where teams and agents can work from the same source of truth. Notes, decisions, prompts, workflows, and documentation stay accessible, reusable, and ready for whatever tool comes next. This is what collaboration looks like when humans and agents share the same memory. https://buff.ly/54l9TeC

  • AI workflows are moving fast, and teams are switching between more LLMs than ever. The HackMD CLI helps keep context portable by letting developers create, update, and organize Markdown notes directly from the terminal. That means prompts, skills, project notes, and agent memory can stay connected in HackMD, even as your team moves between different AI tools. Less lost context. More consistent workflows. Better collaboration between humans and agents.

    We rebuilt PDF export on HackMD around one idea: the exported file should match the note you see. 📄 Here's what's new: 🔁 More reliable conversion — fewer failed exports and missing content, including images, UML, and LaTeX 🎨 Better output quality — improved LaTeX rendering, smarter table wrapping, better page-width usage, right-sized images, and no more random blank pages 📄 A dedicated export page — review settings, start conversion, and know exactly when your file is ready ⬇️ Clearer download behavior — automatic download if you stay, manual download if you come back later, and easier access to recent exports ⚙️ Configurable export options — paper size, orientation, table behavior, image behavior, and page margin presets Built for users who rely on PDF export for real work.

  • HackMD is now System and Organization Controls (SOC) 2® Type II compliant. 🔐 Your team's docs, specs, and knowledge live on HackMD, and we don't think "trust us" should be the answer when your security team asks how we protect them. Here's what this means: 🔍 Johanson Group LLP, assessed our controls relevant to security 🔁 As a Type II report, it covers how those controls operated over a period of time, not just a point-in-time snapshot 📄 The result is a detailed report that your security team can review as part of vendor due diligence This is part of an ongoing commitment, not a one-time milestone.

  • AI agents work better when they have the right context in the right place. With HackMD’s Folders API, your team can organize notes, skills, workflows, and documentation into structured folders that agents can reference and act on more reliably. Instead of scattered files or disconnected knowledge, you can create a workspace where human collaboration and agent-ready context live together. Give your agents better context. Give your team better outcomes.

  • A good markdown editor is much more than just a place to write your README files. It is all about the context and continuous history it shares with your AI agents. That is exactly why we put together a comparison of the top markdown editors. We specifically highlighted platforms with tools built to integrate directly with your automated workflows.
