Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned markpitt/claude-skills at 43b02eee90.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

About this skill

markdown-formatter

What it does

This skill enables AI agents to automatically format raw text into clean, readable Markdown. It ensures consistent syntax and structure for documentation, code comments, or chat logs without manual editing.

When to use it

  • Documentation generation: Convert unstructured notes into formatted README files or wiki entries.
  • Code collaboration: Standardize inline comments or log messages within a repository.
  • Chat interfaces: Transform verbose user inputs into structured bullet points or code blocks for clarity.
  • Data export: Prepare raw text data for import into Markdown-based knowledge bases.

Key capabilities

  • Converts plain text to valid Markdown syntax
  • Structures content with headers, lists, and emphasis
  • Maintains readability across different output platforms

Example prompts

  • "Format this raw note into a clean Markdown list: 'Buy milk, eggs, bread, and coffee.'"
  • "Convert the following unstructured text into a formatted Markdown document with headers."
  • "Take this block of code comments and reformat them using proper Markdown syntax."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure input text contains basic Markdown markers (like # or -) if you want specific structural elements preserved; otherwise, the tool applies standard formatting rules. Avoid sending extremely large blocks of text at once to prevent potential truncation or processing delays.
