Apply consistent, professional Markdown formatting rules whenever producing or reformatting Markdown output. Use this skill when generating any Markdown document, when the user asks to reformat or clean up existing Markdown, when producing README files, technical docs, notes, or any other content that will be rendered as Markdown. Trigger even when the request seems simple -- any Markdown output should follow these rules. Do not use this skill for non-Markdown outputs such as plain text, HTML…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Markdown Style Guide

Apply these rules to every piece of Markdown you produce or reformat.

## Core Principles

- Write for a senior engineering audience: clean, precise, no fluff.
- Formatting exists to aid comprehension, not to decorate.
- When in doubt, use less formatting.

## Line Width

Never hard-wrap lines at a fixed column width. Every prose line -- paragraphs, list items, block quotes, table cells -- must be a single unbroken line. Let the renderer handle wrapping. This applies everywhere in the document without exception: do not wrap at 80, 100, 120, or any other column limit.

The only text that may contain newlines is content inside fenced code blocks, where newlines are part of the code itself.

## Prohibited Formatting

- No emojis, ever.
- No bold (`**text**`) unless technically required (e.g. a term being defined inline that would otherwise be ambiguous). Bold for emphasis or decoration is not allowed.
- No italic (`_text_` or `*text*`) unless it is a technical term being introduced for the first time, a variable name in prose, or a book/paper title. Do not italicise for tone or style.
- No HTML embedded in Markdown.

## Punctuation

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add arpitbbhayani/ape-skills/ape-style-markdown@sha256:3a2c444eb2330d3d

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260527.8df3c9b, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
