markdown-style

The Markdown authoring and review skill. Owns two layers of rules and the procedure for applying them:

  1. Syntax canon — what valid Markdown looks like. Derived from the Markdown Guide basic-syntax reference. Full canon: references/syntax-canon.md.
  2. Style overlay — opinionated rules a reviewer enforces on top of valid syntax. Derived from Google's Markdown style guide. Full overlay: references/style-overlay.md.

Load this skill when the question is "is this doc well-formed?" — not "does this doc belong here?" (that is doc-diagnostic). Style review never decides whether a doc should exist. It assumes the doc earned its place and asks whether the prose, structure, and Markdown are clean.

How to run a review

Run in two passes. Do not interleave them — the architect reads a syntax violation differently from a style violation, and conflating the two confuses the response.

Pass 1 — Syntax (must-fix)

Walk the file top to bottom. For each construct that violates the syntax canon (setext heading where ATX is expected, unfenced code block, missing blank line around a block element, ordered list using ) instead of ., etc.), emit one finding at a time:
