Markdown Formatting

What it does

When your agent uses it

• Editing any committed markdown documentation
• Tasks that involve Markdown

Example prompts

• “Use the markdown-formatting skill to enforce markdown line-wrap and structure rules for clean git diffs”
• “/markdown-formatting”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

1. 1Wrap prose at 80 chars using hybrid wrapping (prefer
2. 2Blank line before and after every heading
3. 3ATX headings only (# Heading, never setext underlines)
4. 4Blank line before every list
5. 5Reference-style links when inline links push lines

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9f3eb00. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

• Tool permissions

  Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

  From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

• Runs code

  No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown).

  From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

• Network

  Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

  • google.github.io

  From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

• Credentials

  Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

  From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Markdown Formatting loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 42 tokens; SKILL.md has 498 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~42

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~1.1k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
