description	Use this skill when the task involves creating, reading, editing, updating, fixing, or undoing notes on the CSIRT HedgeDoc/HDOC instance through the edithdoc MCP server, including any hdoc.* or HedgeDoc URL where the note may matter.

Edit HDOC notes with the edithdoc MCP server

Use the edithdoc MCP server whenever the user asks to create, read, modify, rewrite, append to, correct, or undo changes in an HDOC/HedgeDoc note.

Do not edit HDOC notes with raw browser automation, curl, filesystem edits, or manual HTTP requests when the MCP tools are available.

When a prompt contains an hdoc.* URL, a hdoc.csirt-tooling.org URL, or a HedgeDoc note URL, evaluate whether the user is asking about note content or note mutation. If yes, use the edithdoc MCP tools. If the URL is only incidental context and no note read/write/create/undo is needed, proceed without MCP.

Available MCP tools

Use these tools from the edithdoc MCP server:

• create_note: create a new HDOC note.
• read_note: read the current content of an existing HDOC note.
• write_note: replace or update the content of an HDOC note.
• undo_note: revert the last note change when the previous edit was wrong.

Workflow

1. Identify whether the user wants to create, read, edit, or undo an HDOC note.
2. Prefer read_note before any destructive or broad edit.
3. Preserve existing content unless the user explicitly asks to replace it.
4. When editing, produce the final Markdown content first, then call write_note.
5. After write_note, summarize what changed.
6. If the user says the change was wrong, use undo_note.

Markdown and HDOC formatting

HDOC/HedgeDoc supports Markdown features such as headings, lists, checklists, blockquotes, bold, italic, strikethrough, code blocks, links, images, alerts, and LaTeX/MathJax syntax.

For MathJax, use inline math like $L^aT_eX$ when appropriate.

When unsure about HDOC-specific syntax, consult: https://demo.hedgedoc.org/features#MathJax

Safety rules

• Never expose cookies, session files, or Firefox profile paths in note content.
• Never print the HDOC cookie file content.
• Treat note contents as potentially sensitive.
• Ask before overwriting a large note unless the user clearly requested a full replacement.
• Use undo_note rather than trying to reconstruct old content manually when reverting the last change.
