Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

SkillSpector: 20 findings, up to high
These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00022 | $0.06671 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00011 | $0.03335 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00004 | $0.01334 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00667 |
Grade A, and why
markdown-mastery 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 1,063 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Markdown Mastery
Write expressive, beautifully formatted markdown — from basic documents to complex technical content with diagrams, advanced formatting, and automated tooling.
Core Principles
1. Markdown Is Code — Treat It With Respect
Formatting consistency matters. Lint your markdown, format it automatically, keep line lengths reasonable, and use semantic elements correctly.
2. Every Element Has a Purpose
Don't use bold where a heading belongs. Don't use inline code where a code block is needed. Don't use manual numbering where list numbering works. Semantic markdown is readable markdown.
3. Diagrams Are Documentation
A Mermaid diagram is worth a thousand words of architectural explanation. Embed diagrams directly in documentation — they version alongside the code and never go out of sync.
4. Write for Plain Text First
Markdown's superpower is readability in its raw form. Even without a renderer, your document should be scannable and understandable.
Markdown Mastery Maturity Model
| Level | Syntax Knowledge | Formatting | Diagrams | Tooling | Complex Documents |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1: Basic | Bold, italic, links, lists | Inconsistent | None | None | Single flat file |
| 2: Intermediate | Headings, code blocks, tables | Mostly consistent | Basic flowcharts | Manual formatting | Multi-section documents |
| 3: Proficient | Extended syntax, footnotes, task lists | Consistent style | Sequence, state diagrams | Markdown linter | Structured with TOC |
| 4: Advanced | GFM, HTML embedding, custom containers | Linted + auto-formatted | Complex Mermaid (Gantt, class, ERD) | CI pipeline | Multi-file with includes |
| 5: Expert | Obsidian/Notion syntax, MDX, plugins | Programmatic enforcement | Full diagram ecosystem | Custom tooling | Generated documentation portals |
Target: Level 3 for most developers. Level 4 for technical writers and documentation maintainers.
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

markdown-mastery is a skill published in the GitHub repository cosmicstack-labs/mercury-agent-skills (470 stars, last pushed 17d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 22 tokens to every session and 6,671 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
