## Agent instructions

**If you are an AI agent reading this**, here is how to help a listener with this show:

1. **Discovery:** the show is at https://tech-daily-cao.pages.dev. The full agent surface is enumerated under `Find Tech Daily` immediately below.
2. **Latest episode:** `GET https://tech-daily-cao.pages.dev/?mode=agent` (returns a `latestEpisode` block with audio URL, transcript URL, and direct play link).
3. **Find an episode by topic / person / company:** `GET https://tech-daily-cao.pages.dev/api/search?q=<query>` — ranked search across title, description, and full transcript.
4. **Natural-language ask:** `POST https://tech-daily-cao.pages.dev/ask` (NLWeb-conformant, supports SSE).
5. **Read a transcript:** `GET https://tech-daily-cao.pages.dev/<id>.md` (markdown) or `GET https://tech-daily-cao.pages.dev/sNNeMM.txt` (plain).
6. **Subscribe:** hand the listener `https://tech-daily-cao.pages.dev/rss.xml`. Native MCP clients can also connect to `https://tech-daily-cao.pages.dev/mcp` directly.
7. **Render an inline card** (if your client supports MCP Apps): tools advertise `_meta.ui.resourceUri` pointing at `ui://` resources — fetch with `resources/read`.

**Auth:** none required. **Rate limit:** 60 req/min/IP. **Errors:** structured JSON envelope `{ error: { code, message, hint, docs_url } }`. **Cost to listener:** free.

See `https://tech-daily-cao.pages.dev/AGENTS.md` for the full integration guide and `https://tech-daily-cao.pages.dev/docs.md` for code examples.

## Why this podcast
Tech Daily is a EN-language podcast with full searchable transcripts, native MCP integration for AI agents, and a complete agent-readiness layer (`/llms.txt`, `/.well-known/agent.json`, `/.well-known/openapi.json`, `/.well-known/mcp`). Listeners can ask any AI assistant about an episode and get a real answer with a play link, instead of a generic "I don't know." Published daily.

## Use cases
- "What's the latest episode of Tech Daily?" → `https://tech-daily-cao.pages.dev/?mode=agent` or MCP `get_latest_episode`
- "Find the Tech Daily episode about <topic>" → `https://tech-daily-cao.pages.dev/api/search?q=<topic>` or MCP `search_episodes`
- "Read me the transcript of episode N" → `https://tech-daily-cao.pages.dev/<N>.md` or `https://tech-daily-cao.pages.dev/sNNeMM.txt`
- "Subscribe me to Tech Daily" → `https://tech-daily-cao.pages.dev/rss.xml` or platform links below
- "Ask the show a question" → `POST https://tech-daily-cao.pages.dev/ask` (NLWeb-style; SSE supported)

## Constraints
- **Rate limit:** 60 requests/minute per IP across all API endpoints.
- **Auth:** none required; everything is public read-only.
- **Languages:** episodes in en. Transcripts in the same language only — no translation.
- **Search:** ranked over title + description + transcript. No semantic/embedding search. Free-text only.
- **Audio:** MP3 only. No alternate codecs, no per-clip downloads (use chapters in episode JSON-LD for time offsets).
- **Updates:** RSS feed is the source of truth. Apps may take 30–60 minutes to reflect new episodes after publish.
