What it does

Markdown Nine Grid Clipboard is an agent skill from twhsi/skills. Convert Chinese or mixed-language text, iMandalArt cards, Obsidian 九宮, 表格, Mandala notes, or eight-domain outlines into a Markdown 3x3 nine-grid table with an ◎ center, then copy, save, append, or hand it to apps that render Markdown tables such as Obsidian and AIDA. Use when the user asks for Markdown 九宮格, Obsidian 九宮, Markdown table 九宮, 曼陀羅表格, nine-grid clipboard, AIDA table output, or conversion between Markdown 九宮, iMandalArt, and 81-grid workflows.

Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including scripts (for example `agents/openai.yaml` and `scripts/copy_grid.py`).

It sits in Documents & Office, covering Markdown. It works with Obsidian. The repository describes itself as: AI Agent Skills for Chinese Knowledge Workers: iMandalArt, FIRE, planning, and publishing workflows for Claude Code, Codex, and LLM agents.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks for Markdown 九宮格
  • Markdown table 九宮
  • Nine-grid clipboard
  • AIDA table output

Example prompts

  • “/markdown-nine-grid-clipboard”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. Create exactly nine cells.
  2. The center cell must contain ◎.
  3. Use the center as an integrated summary, not a copied title.
  4. Preserve this spatial order
  5. If a cell is six Chinese characters or fewer, keep it on one line.
  6. If a cell is longer than six Chinese characters, split it into two lines with .
  7. When the source already has title and content, format the cell as titlecontent.
  8. Do not create extra Markdown rows for title/content. The table still has exactly three visual rows and nine cells.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 287d0f4. 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

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python3

    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 Nine Grid Clipboard loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 122 tokens; SKILL.md has 415 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~122
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~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

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 415 words (~1,024 tokens).
