Md Copy

What it does

When your agent uses it

• User says copy as markdown
• Wants the sessions final answer formatted and copied

Example prompts

• “copy as markdown”
• “md copy”
• “copy formatted”
• “/md-copy”

Requirements

• Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash

Workflow steps

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

1. 1No heading elements (#, ##, etc.) — use bold for section titles instead
2. 2Convert any ASCII tables to proper markdown tables
3. 3Use italic for emphasis and minor notes
4. 4Preserve code blocks with proper language tags
5. 5Keep bullet lists and numbered lists
6. 6Remove any leading spaces or bullet headers (bullet-style)
7. 7Give the content a nice descriptive title (as bold text, not heading)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 99e1c8d. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

• Tool permissions

  Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

  • Bash

  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 bash).

  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

Md Copy loads about 366 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 50 tokens; SKILL.md has 126 words of instructions outside code blocks.

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

~50

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

~366

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

  allowed-tools: Bash

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.
