x-markdown

name	x-markdown
version	2.8.0
description	Use when building or reviewing Markdown rendering with @ant-design/x-markdown, including streaming Markdown, custom component mapping, plugins, themes, and chat-oriented rich content.

🎯 Skill Positioning

This skill focuses on one job: render Markdown correctly and predictably with @ant-design/x-markdown.

It covers:

• Basic rendering and package boundaries
• LLM streaming output and incomplete syntax handling
• Custom component mapping for rich chat or data-display blocks
• Plugins, themes, and safe rendering defaults

📦 Package Boundaries

Layer	Package	Responsibility
UI layer	@ant-design/x	Chat UI, bubble lists, sender, rich interaction components
Data layer	@ant-design/x-sdk	Providers, requests, streaming data flow, state management
Render layer	@ant-design/x-markdown	Markdown parsing, streaming rendering, plugins, themes, custom renderers

⚠️ x-markdown is not a chat-state tool. Use it to render content after @ant-design/x and @ant-design/x-sdk have already produced the message data.

🚀 Quick Start Decision Guide

If you need to...	Read first	Typical outcome
Render Markdown with the smallest setup	CORE.md	XMarkdown renders trusted content with basic styling
Render LLM streaming chunks	STREAMING.md	Correct hasNextChunk, placeholders, tail indicator, loading states
Replace tags with business components	EXTENSIONS.md	Stable components map for custom tags and code blocks
Add plugins or theme overrides	EXTENSIONS.md	Plugin imports, theme class wiring, minimal CSS overrides
Check prop details and defaults	API.md	Full prop table for XMarkdown and streaming options

🛠 Recommended Workflow

1. Start with CORE.md and get a plain render working first.
2. Add STREAMING.md only when the content arrives chunk-by-chunk.
3. Add EXTENSIONS.md when you need custom tags, plugins, syntax blocks, or themes.
4. Use API.md to confirm prop names and defaults instead of guessing.

Minimal Setup Reminder

import { XMarkdown } from '@ant-design/x-markdown';

export default () => <XMarkdown content="# Hello" />;

🚨 Development Rules

• Prefer a stable components object. Do not create new inline component mappings on every render.
• Use streaming.hasNextChunk = false on the final chunk, otherwise incomplete placeholders will not flush into final content.
• Treat raw HTML carefully. Prefer escapeRawHtml when raw HTML should stay visible as text.
• If raw HTML must be rendered, keep dompurifyConfig explicit and minimal.
• Keep theme overrides small. Start from x-markdown-light or x-markdown-dark and override only the variables you need.
• If a custom component depends on complete syntax, branch on streamStatus === 'done'.

🤝 Skill Collaboration

Scenario	Recommended skill combination	Why
Rich assistant replies in chat	x-chat-provider → x-request → use-x-chat → x-markdown	Provider and request handle data flow, x-markdown handles final rendering
Built-in provider with Markdown replies	x-request → use-x-chat → x-markdown	Keep request config and rendering concerns separate
Standalone Markdown page or docs viewer	x-markdown only	No chat data flow needed

Boundary Rules

• Use x-chat-provider when adapting an API shape.
• Use x-request when configuring transport, auth, retries, or streaming separators.
• Use use-x-chat when managing chat state in React.
• Use x-markdown when the content itself needs Markdown parsing, streaming recovery, or rich component rendering.
