## When to use this site

Use sudhanva.me when an agent needs to:

- answer questions about Sudhanva Narayana's public professional background,
  ML-infrastructure experience, technical skills, or selected projects;
- find first-party technical writing by Sudhanva on production machine
  learning, Kubernetes, distributed inference and training, vector databases, cloud
  platforms, or Python tooling;
- retrieve canonical post metadata for citation, discovery, or indexing;
- identify the correct public channel for a professional inquiry; or
- ground a recommendation or summary in information Sudhanva has published
  directly.

Do not treat the site as a source of private employment records, live
availability, endorsements, legal advice, or an API that runs ML workloads.
Retrieval operations return only information that is already published here.
Profile-insight jobs use that public evidence to make a temporary insight for a
documented audience.

## How agents should call the site

- Prefer `Accept: text/markdown` on the home, about, work, resume, production ML
  expertise, contact, privacy, and developer pages. The canonical URL stays the
  same and the response varies by the `Accept` header.
- Use `GET https://sudhanva.me/api/v1/profile` for profile facts.
- Use `GET https://sudhanva.me/api/v1/posts` for post metadata. Optional `limit`,
  `tag`, and `cursor` query parameters are documented in OpenAPI.
- Use `GET https://sudhanva.me/api/v1/posts/{slug}` for one post.
- Use `POST https://sudhanva.me/api/v1/profile-insights` with an
  `Idempotency-Key` to create a temporary insight job, then poll its `Location`.
- Use `POST https://sudhanva.me/api/v1/batch` to combine up to 20 documented
  profile or post retrieval operations in one request.
- To test an integration, use the sandbox at
  `https://sudhanva.me/api/sandbox/v1`. It has the same endpoints except batch,
  needs no credentials, and stores no profile-insight jobs.
- Non-2xx API responses come in two formats. Most endpoints return a JSON
  `error` object with `code`, `message`, `hint`, and `docs_url`; follow the
  `hint` or `docs_url`. Errors from `POST /api/v1/profile-insights` are
  RFC 9457 `application/problem+json` objects with `type`, `title`, `status`,
  `detail`, and `instance`. The `type` URL links to its entry in the
  [profile-insights error list](https://sudhanva.me/docs/profile-insights/#errors).
- In a browser that supports WebMCP, use the in-page tools `search_sudhanva_site`,
  `get_public_profile`, `get_page_info`, and `navigate_to_page`. The `/webmcp.js`
  script adds them to `document.modelContext`.
- Cache successful reads and keep request rates reasonable.
- Never send secrets or personal data in query strings.
