What it does

Sandbox Markdown is an agent skill from nodetool-ai/nodetool. Parse markdown into a token stream inside a Code node or CodeAct action, with marked's lexer running in the guest

Its SKILL.md is about 890 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `package.json`).

It sits in Documents & Office, covering Markdown. The repository describes itself as: Agent-first Creative Workspace. The licence is AGPL-3.0.

When your agent uses it

Tasks that involve Markdown

Example prompts

“/sandbox-markdown”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 339f069. 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 javascript).
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

Sandbox Markdown loads about 891 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 33 tokens; SKILL.md has 242 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~33
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~891

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 in the sandbox

Specifier: @nodetool-ai/sandbox-markdown. One module, the marked root export. Import it at the top of the body.

marked is pure JavaScript — no Node builtins, no DOM — so it compiles straight into the QuickJS guest. There is no pre-built "extract headers" helper; marked.lexer gives you the token stream and you read what you need out of it.

lexer — markdown text to tokens

import { marked } from "@nodetool-ai/sandbox-markdown";

const tokens = marked.lexer(inputs.markdown);
return { tokenCount: tokens.length };

Each token carries a type (heading, paragraph, list, code, table, link tokens nested inside paragraph/text tokens, etc.) and the fields that type needs.

Headers → a document outline

import { marked } from "@nodetool-ai/sandbox-markdown";

const headers = marked.lexer(inputs.markdown)
  .filter((t) => t.type === "heading")
  .map((t) => ({ level: t.depth, text: t.text }));
return { headers };

Links → a flat list

marked nests inline tokens (links, emphasis) inside block tokens. Walk tokens.links for a document's reference-style link definitions, or walk each block's .tokens for inline links:

import { marked } from "@nodetool-ai/sandbox-markdown";

function collectLinks(tokens, out = []) {
  for (const t of tokens) {
    if (t.type === "link") out.push({ href: t.href, text: t.text });
    if (t.tokens) collectLinks(t.tokens, out);
    if (t.items) collectLinks(t.items, out);
  }
  return out;
}

const links = collectLinks(marked.lexer(inputs.markdown));
return { links };

Lists → nested items

import { marked } from "@nodetool-ai/sandbox-markdown";

const lists = marked.lexer(inputs.markdown)
  .filter((t) => t.type === "list")
  .map((t) => ({
    ordered: t.ordered,
    items: t.items.map((item) => item.text)
  }));
return { lists };

Code blocks → language + source

import { marked } from "@nodetool-ai/sandbox-markdown";

const codeBlocks = marked.lexer(inputs.markdown)
  .filter((t) => t.type === "code")
  .map((t) => ({ language: t.lang || "text", code: t.text }));
return { codeBlocks };

Tables → rows of records

import { marked } from "@nodetool-ai/sandbox-markdown";

const tables = marked.lexer(inputs.markdown)
  .filter((t) => t.type === "table")
  .map((t) => {
    const headers = t.header.map((cell) => cell.text);
    return t.rows.map((row) =>
      Object.fromEntries(row.map((cell, i) => [headers[i], cell.text]))
    );
  });
return { tables };

Markdown → HTML

import { marked } from "@nodetool-ai/sandbox-markdown";

const html = marked.parse(inputs.markdown);
return { html };

Gotchas

Everything runs in the guest. The 64 MB guest heap holds your input text, the token tree, and the returned value at once.
marked.lexer is synchronous, unlike marked.parse (which can be async when you register an async extension — the default configuration is not).
Token shapes differ by type. A list token's items are themselves tokens with their own .tokens; a table token has header/rows, not a flat cells array. Log a sample token when a shape is unclear.
This pack is the only route to markdown parsing. There is no data.parseMarkdown global; every library the sandbox offers is an importable module, and this is the one for markdown.

Questions about Sandbox Markdown

What does Sandbox Markdown do?

Parse markdown into a token stream inside a Code node or CodeAct action, with marked's lexer running in the guest. Sandbox Markdown is an agent skill from nodetool-ai/nodetool.

When should I use Sandbox Markdown?

Sandbox Markdown fits situations like: tasks that involve Markdown.

How do I install Sandbox Markdown in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add nodetool-ai/nodetool --skill sandbox-markdown -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (packages/sandbox-packs/sandbox-markdown in nodetool-ai/nodetool) into .claude/skills/sandbox-markdown in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

Run `npx skills add nodetool-ai/nodetool --skill sandbox-markdown -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (packages/sandbox-packs/sandbox-markdown in nodetool-ai/nodetool) into .agents/skills/sandbox-markdown in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Sandbox Markdown in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add nodetool-ai/nodetool --skill sandbox-markdown -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/sandbox-markdown, .gemini/skills/sandbox-markdown, .github/skills/sandbox-markdown and .opencode/skills/sandbox-markdown in your project.

What does Sandbox Markdown need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Sandbox Markdown is instructions for the agent only.

Does Sandbox Markdown access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Sandbox Markdown safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does Sandbox Markdown use?

Sandbox Markdown is published under the AGPL-3.0 licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Sandbox Markdown use?

About 891 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 3.6k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.

What are the alternatives to Sandbox Markdown?

Skills that share tags, products or a category with Sandbox Markdown: Markdown Article Formatter (JimLiu/baoyu-skills, 27k stars), Markitdown (ImCa0/just-laws, 781 stars), Obsidian Markdown (Atmosphere/atmosphere, 3.8k stars) and Crossposting (wasp-lang/wasp, 19k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
