mdhtml-author

A writing guide for mdhtml 1.0 documents. mdhtml turns Markdown, a plain-text writing format, into one portable HTML file that can open in a browser, including from disk.

In plain words
What is it for?
Starting documents from approved templates, writing front matter and Markdown sections, using the project's containers and components, and running the build and validation checks.
Why use it?
It provides the project's required document structure and conventions, reducing errors when creating, editing, building, or checking mdhtml files.

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

mdhtml-author 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 3d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (check.mjs), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 95 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

mdhtml authoring

mdhtml 1.0 turns a Markdown file (optional front matter plus a Markdown body) into a single portable HTML document that renders in the browser and works from disk. The committed templates and examples are the reference material for every convention in this skill: read them, and never re-derive or copy the format.

Workflow

  1. Scaffold from a canonical template. Run mdhtml new <name> --template <kind> with <kind> one of resume, memo, spec, recipe, chapter. The committed templates are the same material and the starting point when the CLI is unavailable:

    • templates/resume.md
    • templates/memo.md
    • templates/spec.md
    • templates/recipe.md
    • templates/chapter.md

    Their built counterparts show the conventions applied end to end:

    • examples/resume.md
    • examples/memo.md
    • examples/spec.md
    • examples/recipe.md
    • examples/chapter.md
  2. Write the front matter. Only the reserved keys in references/front-matter.md are presentation input; everything else is semantic metadata. Keep it minimal: title is required, summary and lang are common, and theme, toc, sections, and figures appear only when the document needs them.

  3. Write the body in the supported Markdown subset. Headings, paragraphs, links, images, blockquotes, GFM tables, code spans and fences, nested and ordered lists, task lists, emphasis, strong, strike, and footnotes. Raw HTML is not enabled; keep content in Markdown. Every heading receives a deterministic slug, and an explicit {#id} override replaces it.

  4. Shape content with containers and section components. Containers are Pandoc-style ::: fences; section components bind to a heading slug through the sections: front matter map. Use only the shapes in references/containers.md and references/section-components.md. Content that misses a shape is not guessed: it degrades to prose and mdhtml check reports W-COMP-02.

Files

What ships with it

5 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
