About this skill

Markdown Expert Skill

Use this skill when analyzing, refactoring, or generating Markdown content.

Domain Knowledge

  • Structure: Markdown consists of Blocks (Headers, Paragraphs, Lists) and Inline elements (Links, Emphasis, Code).
  • AST: Common parsers like remark or markdown-it represent Markdown as a tree.
  • Rules:
    • Ensure headers follow a logical hierarchy (no skipping levels).
    • Use consistent list marker styles (- or *).
    • Validate link syntax and reference-style links.

Task Guidance

  • When asked to analyze a document, focus on:
    • Reading difficulty.
    • Structural consistency.
    • Potential for refactoring (e.g., long sections into sub-headers).
  • When implementing "Clean Architecture" for Markdown, keep the Domain entities (e.g., MarkdownDocument, MarkdownSection) pure and agnostic of any specific parser if possible.

When not to use it

  • When the content is not in Markdown format
  • When the task does not involve structural analysis or formatting of Markdown

Limitations

  • Focuses on Markdown structure, AST analysis, and common formatting patterns
  • Requires headers to follow a logical hierarchy
  • Requires consistent list marker styles

How it compares

This skill applies architectural principles and AST analysis to Markdown, ensuring maintainability and consistency, which is more rigorous than manual formatting or basic linting.
