What it does

Markdown Writer is an agent skill from Devolutions/devolutions-gateway. Write clean, readable Markdown with concise prose and maintainable source formatting. Use whenever creating or substantially rewriting Markdown files, including READMEs, guides, release notes, issue templates, and Markdown-based documentation.

Its SKILL.md is about 290 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Development, covering Markdown, Technical documentation and Changelog and release notes. The repository describes itself as: A blazing fast relay server adaptable to different protocols and desired levels of traffic inspection. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Substantially rewriting Markdown files
  • Including READMEs
  • Issue templates
  • Markdown-based documentation

Example prompts

  • “/markdown-writer”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6039a46. 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.

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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 Writer loads about 290 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 65 tokens; SKILL.md has 131 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~65
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~290

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

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

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.

Markdown writer

Invoke prose-writer before drafting and apply its rules throughout. Use the shallowest heading hierarchy that makes the document easy to scan. Prefer short paragraphs and lists only when items are easier to compare or follow separately. Use fenced code blocks with a language identifier and keep explanatory prose outside the fence.

Prefer reference-style links so URLs do not interrupt the source text. Place link definitions near the end of the document and reuse them for repeated destinations. Keep inline links when the literal URL is meaningful, the surrounding format requires one, or the link appears in a badge, raw HTML, generated content, or a compact table.

Preserve valid embedded HTML and repository-specific Markdown conventions. Before finishing, check heading order, code fences, link definitions, and one sentence per source line.
