About This Skill

What it does

This skill automates the process of updating a markdown file index, such as a table of contents or list of files in a documentation project. It can add, remove, or reorder entries based on user input and ensure proper formatting is maintained.

When to use it

  • You need to update a README.md or documentation index with new files or sections.
  • You want to reorganize the order of items in a markdown file without manually editing the list.
  • Your project has multiple markdown files, and you need an automated way to keep their index up-to-date.

Key capabilities

  • Adds or removes entries from a markdown file's index.
  • Maintains consistent formatting (e.g., bullet points, headers).
  • Supports reordering of items based on user-specified logic.

Example prompts

  • "Add 'Getting Started' as the first section in the README.md."
  • "Remove the 'Legacy Features' entry from the documentation index."
  • "Reorder the markdown file list alphabetically."

Tips & gotchas

  • Ensure that your markdown file is properly formatted before using this skill to avoid unexpected results.
  • This skill may not handle complex nested lists or custom formatting beyond basic bullet points and headers.
