Baoyu Format Markdown
Formats plain text or markdown files with frontmatter, titles, summaries, headings, bold, lists, and code blocks. Use when user asks to "format markdown", "beautify article", "add formatting", or improve article layout. Outputs to {filename}-formatted.md.
How it works
Markdown Formatter
Transforms plain text or markdown into well-structured, reader-friendly markdown. The goal is to help readers quickly grasp key points, highlights, and structure — without changing any original content.
Core principle: Only adjust formatting and fix obvious typos. Never add, delete, or rewrite content.
Script Directory
Scripts in scripts/ subdirectory. {baseDir} = this SKILL.md's directory path. Resolve ${BUN_X} runtime: if bun installed → bun; if npx available → npx -y bun; else suggest installing bun. Replace {baseDir} and ${BUN_X} with actual values.
| Script | Purpose |
|---|---|
scripts/main.ts | Main entry point with CLI options (uses remark-cjk-friendly for CJK emphasis) |
scripts/quotes.ts | Replace ASCII quotes with fullwidth quotes |
scripts/autocorrect.ts | Add CJK/English spacing via autocorrect |
Preferences (EXTEND.md)
Check EXTEND.md existence (priority order):
# macOS, Linux, WSL, Git Bash
test -f .baoyu-skills/baoyu-format-markdown/EXTEND.md && echo "project"
test -f "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}/baoyu-skills/baoyu-format-markdown/EXTEND.md" && echo "xdg"
test -f "$HOME/.baoyu-skills/baoyu-format-markdown/EXTEND.md" && echo "user"
# PowerShell (Windows)
if (Test-Path .baoyu-skills/baoyu-format-markdown/EXTEND.md) { "project" }
$xdg = if ($env:XDG_CONFIG_HOME) { $env:XDG_CONFIG_HOME } else { "$HOME/.config" }
if (Test-Path "$xdg/baoyu-skills/baoyu-format-markdown/EXTEND.md") { "xdg" }
if (Test-Path "$HOME/.baoyu-skills/baoyu-format-markdown/EXTEND.md") { "user" }
