| name | markdown-block |
| description | Outputs content inside a copyable fenced markdown code block so the user can copy the raw markdown verbatim. Activate whenever the user asks for "copyable markdown", "raw markdown", "the markdown source", "give me the markdown", "as a code block I can copy", or any variation of requesting markdown they can paste elsewhere (READMEs, docs, issues, PR descriptions, chat messages).

Markdown Block Skill
Wrap the markdown you want the user to copy in a single fenced code block tagged
markdown. The user will see the raw source and can copy it with one click.
Fence rules — escape inner code blocks
Triple-backtick fences cannot nest. If the markdown contains its own fenced code
blocks, the inner fences will prematurely close the outer fence and break the
copy block.
Rule: the outer fence must use strictly more backticks than the longest
backtick run anywhere inside the content.
| Inner content contains | Outer fence to use |
|---|
| no backtick fences | ``` |
``` (3 backticks) | ```` |
```` (4 backticks) | ````` |
Always scan the content first, find the longest backtick run, then add at least
one more backtick to the outer fence.
Example
User asks: "Give me a copyable markdown snippet for a README install section."
Respond with a 4-backtick fence because the inner content has a 3-backtick block:
# Install
Run the following:
```bash
pnpm install
```
Other escaping notes
- Tildes (
~~~) are an alternate fence — apply the same "more than the longest
inner run" rule if you choose tildes instead of backticks.
- Indented (4-space) code blocks inside the markdown need no escaping.
- Do not add commentary inside the fence. Put any explanation outside the block
so the user copies clean markdown.
