markdown-rendering

markdown-rendering is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from attentiondotnet/davidondrej-skills. It costs 84 tokens per session (595 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Instructions for opening a Markdown file, a plain-text document format, in the right pane of cmux without getting a blank viewer. They describe how to open the pane directly or close an existing one first.

In plain words
What is it for?
Displaying documentation in cmux, opening Markdown files beside a working terminal, and troubleshooting blank Markdown panes.
Why use it?
They avoid a cmux rendering bug caused by moving an already opened Markdown viewer into another pane.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

markdown-rendering scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Markdown Rendering in cmux

The Problem

cmux markdown open defaults to spawning a brand-new pane every time, even with --direction right. The common "fix" — moving the new markdown surface into the existing right pane with move-surfacebugs out: the moved viewer renders BLANK. The surface keeps type=markdown and looks healthy, but shows nothing.

So you get stuck: either a stray extra pane, or a blank viewer after moving it.

The Rule

You have exactly two reliable options. Never move-surface a markdown viewer — that is the path that bugs.

Option A — Open it right on the first try

If there is no usable right pane yet, just let cmux create one and leave it where it lands:

cmux markdown open /abs/path/file.md --direction right --focus false

Do NOT then move it. If it spawned where you want it, you're done.

Option B — Close existing right pane(s), then open fresh

If there are other right panes in the way (and they're unused or irrelevant), close them first, then open the markdown fresh as a new right pane:

# 1. find panes in THIS workspace
cmux list-panes --workspace "$CMUX_WORKSPACE_ID"

# 2. close the unused/irrelevant right pane(s) by closing their surfaces
cmux list-pane-surfaces --pane pane:NN
cmux close-surface --surface surface:XX     # repeat per surface in that pane

# 3. THEN open the markdown fresh — it creates its own clean right pane
cmux markdown open /abs/path/file.md --direction right --focus false

Hard Rules

  • Never move-surface a markdown viewer. It renders blank afterward. This is the core bug this skill exists for.
  • Open it correctly the first time (Option A), OR close the conflicting right pane(s) and open a fresh right pane from scratch (Option B).
  • Only close panes that are unused or irrelevant — never close a pane the user is working in.
  • Always anchor to $CMUX_WORKSPACE_ID; never assume the visually focused workspace.
  • Pass --focus false so you don't steal the user's focus.
  • You can't screenshot/read a markdown surface to verify it. If unsure it rendered, ask the user.
