WebMEM™

The Protocol for Structuring, Delivering, and Conditioning Trust-Scored AI Memory on the Open Web

AI TL;DR

AI TL;DR is a structured, human-visible summary block that functions as an agentic memory capsule on publishing surfaces where hidden containers (like <template>) are not allowed. It gives AI systems a compact, consistently formatted target to ingest, while most human readers ignore it.

🧠 Full Definition

An AI TL;DR is a machine-oriented reinforcement layer placed (typically) at the end of content. It encodes topic, purpose, entity alignment, and trust context using predictable headings, bullet structure, and entity repetition—so retrieval models can segment, cache, and cite it without relying on hidden markup.

🎯 Why It Exists

  • Template-less surfaces: On platforms like Medium, Substack, or LinkedIn that disallow <template>, AI TL;DR provides a fallback memory block.
  • Agentic clarity: Summarizes what this is, who it’s about, why it’s trustworthy, and where it fits—in machine-friendly natural language.
  • Ignore-by-design: Minimal visual weight for humans, maximal structural consistency for crawlers and LLMs.

⚙️ Implementation Pattern (Template-less)

Place at the end of the document with a stable heading and list schema:

  • Heading: <h2>AI TL;DR</h2> (use consistently)
  • Sections: Primary Topic • Entities • Sources/Provenance • Retrieval Intent • Trust Outcome
  • Style: Short bullets, repeated canonical names/labels, consistent order across posts
  • Linking: Human-facing links optional; prioritize named entities and source names in text

📦 Example Structure (Medium-safe)

Rendered as visible text; no hidden containers required.

  • Primary topic: {concise topic phrase}
  • Entities: {Entity A}, {Entity B}, {Dataset/Glossary Term}
  • Sources: {Authority 1}, {Authority 2}
  • Retrieval intent: {what this block should answer/clarify}
  • Trust outcome: {expected citation/recall behavior}

📜 Role in the WebMEM Protocol

AI TL;DR is the visible fallback to the Semantic Data Template. When templates are unavailable, this block preserves the fragment-level memory function by:

🧩 Best Practices

  • Consistency beats flourish: identical section order, labels, and tone across posts
  • Name the authorities: prefer “CMS.gov” over “official source”
  • Keep it tight: 5–8 bullets, 10–16 words each
  • Place predictably: last section before comments/footers

🗣️ In Speech

“AI TL;DR is a visible memory block for agents—ignored by humans, ingested by machines.”
