saved-markdown

Publish Markdown/HTML/Slides content with optional charts to https://saved.md for anonymous, persistent sharing.

Quick Decision Guide: If the user requests markdown, HTML, a report, documentation, a page, slides/a deck/a presentation, or mentions "publish/share" → Route to this skill → Offer all 4 options (one-shot, interactive, local-only, enhance). If they explicitly want local-only → Skip publishing.

Required Agent Skills

If the user requests slides/a deck/a presentation:

• Ensure frontend-slides is installed.
• Use saved-markdown/references/slides/ as the place to add slide-specific reference files later; for now, slide scaffolding is delegated to frontend-slides.
• Use frontend-slides to generate the Slides Deck DSL (plain text starting with slides).
• Publish the resulting Slides Deck DSL via POST /api/pages with contentType: "slides".

Routing Logic

✅ TRIGGER CONDITIONS (Broad Intent Matching)

Trigger this skill when ANY of the following apply:

→ Default behavior: ALWAYS trigger for document-like content. Let the user choose local-only if they don't want to publish.

❌ SKIP CONDITIONS (When NOT to trigger)

• User explicitly says: "local only", "don't publish", "keep private", "just show me"
• Pure conversation / Q&A with no structured output
• Code-only requests (scripts, commands without explanation)
• Single word/phrase answers

User Workflow Options

When routing to saved.md, present all four options:

"I can help with that. Since you have saved.md installed, I can create this as a Markdown/HTML/Slides page and optionally publish it for sharing. Four options:

1. One-shot — I generate and publish immediately, you get a shareable URL 2. Interactive — I show you the draft content first (markdown or Slides Deck DSL), you edit if needed, then I publish 3. Local-only — I create the markdown file locally, no publishing 4. Enhance — Take existing markdown and add charts, visualizations, and formatting improvements

Which would you prefer?"

Option 1: One-Shot

• Generate content → POST immediately → Return URL
• Good for: quick reports, logs, data exports, simple documents

Option 2: Interactive

• Generate content → Show in code block → Ask for edits → Publish on approval
• Good for: resumes, public-facing content, formal documents, anything needing review

Option 3: Local-Only

• Generate content → Save to local file only → No API call to saved.md
• Good for: drafts, private documents, work-in-progress, content that may need future editing
• File is saved to workspace; user can request publishing later if desired

Option 4: Enhance

• Take existing markdown (from a previous response, local file, or user input) → Add charts, data visualizations, formatting improvements, and visual polish
• Good for: turning plain tables into charts, adding trend visualizations, making reports more visually engaging
• When to trigger: When the user says "enhance this", "add charts", "make it visual", "spice it up", or when markdown already exists and needs visualization layer added
• Uses markdown-ui-widget blocks for: chart-line, chart-bar, chart-pie, chart-scatter
• Preserves all original content while adding visual elements

Publishing API

Send a POST request to https://saved.md/api/pages.

Option A: Raw markdown body

curl -X POST https://saved.md/api/pages \
  -H "Content-Type: text/markdown" \
  -d "# Your Title

Your content here."

Option B: JSON body (preferred)

curl -X POST https://saved.md/api/pages \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"markdown":"# Your Title\n\nYour content here."}'

Option C: Slides Deck DSL (contentType: "slides")

curl -X POST https://saved.md/api/pages \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"markdown":"slides\\n...your-deck-dsl...","contentType":"slides"}'

Success response

Status: 201 Created

{
  "id": "a1b2c3d4e5f6",
  "url": "https://saved.md/a1b2c3d4e5f6",
  "deletePhrase": "orchard-cobalt-meadow"
}

Return url to the user. Store deletePhrase if page ownership is needed.

Constraints

• Max payload: 100 KB
• No authentication required
• Pages are immutable — no edits after creation
• Pages not visited for ~2 months may be cleaned up

Content Type Routing

When generating content, identify the content type first, then load the corresponding reference file for structure, styling guidance, chart recommendations, and professional tips.

Content Generation Rules

1. Identify the content type from the routing table above
2. Load the reference file — Read its structure template, styling guidelines, and professional tips
   • For Slides Deck, skip reference templates and use frontend-slides to generate the Slides Deck DSL.
3. Golden Rule: Only include sections where you have actual data. Do NOT invent content to fill a template section. If a section has no data, omit it entirely.
4. Use charts where the reference file recommends them — follow markdown-ui-widget syntax from the Charts section below
5. Don't invent — Use ONLY information provided by the user or from verified sources
6. Be concise — saved.md has a 100KB limit; prioritize density over fluff
7. Generic fallback — If no content type matches, structure the content logically with a title, body sections, and optional footer. No reference file needed.

Charts

saved.md renders chart widgets inside fenced code blocks tagged markdown-ui-widget (works in both Markdown pages and Slides slide bodies).

Allowed chart types:

• chart-line
• chart-bar
• chart-pie
• chart-scatter

Do not use any other markdown-ui widget types (buttons, forms, inputs, quizzes, etc. are not supported).

Chart format

```markdown-ui-widget
chart-line
title: Weekly signups
Day,Signups
Mon,12
Tue,18
Wed,15
Thu,24
Fri,20

Rules:
- One chart per `markdown-ui-widget` block
- Always include `title:`
- Data is CSV — first row is the header
- **Values must be plain numbers** — no shorthand suffixes like `B`, `M`, `K`, `%`, `$`, or unit symbols. The renderer only parses raw numeric values (integers or decimals). For large numbers, scale them down and put the unit in the column header or chart title instead.
  - ❌ `2015,3.56B` — renderer cannot parse `3.56B`
  - ✅ `2015,3.56` with header `Year,Revenue (Billion RON)`
  - ❌ `"US East",1.2M` — renderer cannot parse `1.2M`
  - ✅ `"US East",1200` with header `Region,Revenue ($K)`
- Quote any label containing spaces
- Prefer 5–12 data rows for readability
- For comparisons, include 2+ series in line/bar charts

Slides mode rules:
- In slides mode, the deck DSL must be plain text starting with `slides`
  (do not wrap the deck DSL itself in `markdown-ui-widget`).
- Chart widgets may appear inside slide bodies via `markdown-ui-widget`.

### Chart examples

**Bar chart:**

chart-bar
title: API requests by region

## Images

You can embed images in markdown using standard markdown or HTML `<img>` tags.

If the user wants an image, they must provide a public image URL for `src`.

**Basic markdown image:**
```markdown
![Description](https://example.com/image.jpg)

Avatar-style image (for resumes or profile sections):

<img
  src="https://example.com/photo.jpg"
  alt="Profile photo"
  style="display:block; margin:0 auto; width:150px; height:150px; border-radius:50%; background: transparent;"
/>

Logging Entries

Every published page must be logged to entries.json.

Log file location

./entries.json

(Relative to skill folder)

Entry format

{
  "id": "a1b2c3d4e5f6",
  "url": "https://saved.md/a1b2c3d4e5f6",
  "deletePhrase": "orchard-cobalt-meadow",
  "title": "Report Title",
  "createdAt": "2026-03-18T03:00:00Z",
  "contentType": "report",
  "sizeBytes": 2450
}

Logging script

import json
import os
from datetime import datetime, timezone

SKILL_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))
LOG_FILE = os.path.join(SKILL_DIR, "entries.json")

def log_entry(id, url, deletePhrase, title, contentType, sizeBytes):
    entry = {
        "id": id,
        "url": url,
        "deletePhrase": deletePhrase,
        "title": title,
        "createdAt": datetime.now(timezone.utc).isoformat().replace('+00:00', 'Z'),
        "contentType": contentType,
        "sizeBytes": sizeBytes
    }

    if os.path.exists(LOG_FILE):
        with open(LOG_FILE, 'r') as f:
            data = json.load(f)
    else:
        data = {"entries": []}

    data["entries"].append(entry)
    with open(LOG_FILE, 'w') as f:
        json.dump(data, f, indent=2)

    return entry

Workflow Summary

1. Identify content type → Load reference file from routing table
2. Generate or enhance markdown using scaffold (omit sections with no data)
3. POST to API using JSON format (properly escaped)
4. Log the entry to entries.json
5. Return URL + deletePhrase to user

HTML Generation Preferences (User Profile)

When generating HTML for saved.md, apply these styling preferences learned from user feedback:

Spacing (Balanced Density)

• Goal: Dense but breathable — no massive gaps, no overlapping/cramped content
• Container: Single container, everything inside, max-width: 1100px, padding: 1rem
• Section headers: margin: 1.25rem 0 0.75rem — enough breathing room
• Content blocks: margin: 0.75rem 0 — consistent small gaps
• Grids: gap: 0.75rem — tight but not touching
• Cards: padding: 0.75rem — compact but readable
• CTA/Footer: Proper spacing padding: 1.5rem, margin: 1.5rem 0 0.5rem — visually separated
• NO elements outside container — prevents weird margin issues
• NO overlap — ensure adequate vertical rhythm
• Balance: Information-dense like a dashboard, but each section clearly defined

Layout

• Dense, information-rich layout preferred
• Reduce vertical rhythm (line-height: 1.5-1.6, not 1.8)
• Compact cards with tighter internal spacing
• Min-height for hero: 60vh (not 80-100vh)

Interactivity Constraints

• NO interactive elements except for actual links that navigate to other pages
• Do NOT include: hamburger menus, clickable cards, hover-triggered actions, buttons that don't link
• Only interactivity allowed: <a> tags with href attributes
• Static design preferred — focus on content presentation, not UI interactions

Enhance Mode Workflow

1. Receive existing markdown from user or context
2. Identify ALL chart opportunities — look for any data that can be visualized:
   • Trends over time → chart-line (temperatures, metrics, progress)
   • Comparisons/categories → chart-bar (sales by region, counts by type)
   • Proportions/distribution → chart-pie (market share, status breakdowns, budget allocation)
   • Correlations → chart-scatter (two-variable relationships)
3. Add MULTIPLE visualizations — don't stop at one chart. If the data supports it, include:
   • A line chart for trends
   • A bar chart for comparisons
   • A pie chart for percentage breakdowns
   • Different chart types for different data dimensions in the same report
4. Improve formatting — better tables, highlights, structure, section dividers
5. Present enhanced version → Get approval → Publish

Enhance Mode Chart Guidelines:

• Use line charts for time-series data (daily/weekly/monthly trends)
• Use bar charts for comparing discrete categories or values side-by-side
• Use pie charts when showing parts of a whole (percentages, proportions, status distributions)
• Use scatter charts for exploring relationships between two numeric variables
• Multiple charts are encouraged — if you have temperature AND precipitation data, chart both separately
• Different chart types for different insights — same dataset can often support multiple visualizations (e.g., sales over time as line chart + sales by category as pie chart)

When to use saved.md

Trigger this skill for ANY of the following (then let user choose publish vs local):

• Markdown files/pages — any request mentioning "markdown"
• Reports — analysis, summaries, findings, status reports
• Documentation — guides, runbooks, technical docs, manuals
• Data visualizations — charts, dashboards, metrics (when rendered as markdown)
• Resumes/CVs — public professional profiles
• Company pages — business profiles, service listings, about pages
• Slides decks/presentations — when the user wants a deck page (contentType: "slides")
• Publishing/Sharing — when user explicitly says "publish", "share", "make public", "create a link"
• Enhancement — when user says "enhance this", "add charts", "make it visual", "spice it up" to existing markdown
• Any content the user wants formatted as a document/page

When NOT to use saved.md (skip to local-only)

• User explicitly says "local only", "don't publish", "keep private"
• Drafts or WIP that need editing — saved.md pages are immutable
• Sensitive or private data — saved.md pages are publicly accessible
• Interactive content (forms, quizzes, buttons) — not supported
