Markdown

This does exactly what it says: reads markdown and plain text files and hands them to Claude without any processing. It triggers on .md and .txt extensions, so anytime you point Claude at documentation, notes, or readme files, this skill handles the ingestion. It's bare bones by design, which is actually the point. No parsing, no transformation, just raw content. You'd use this when you want Claude to work with text files as they are, whether that's analyzing documentation structure, extracting information from notes, or understanding project readmes. Licensed under AGPL-3.0, so keep that in mind if you're building something proprietary on top of it.
