Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
Live markdown viewer for AI pair-editing. When you collaborate, the updates render instantly. Works with any AI agent and web browser. GitHub: wipcomputer/wip-markdown-viewer npm: @wipcomputer/markdown-viewer
npm install -g @wipcomputer/markdown-viewer This installs the mdview command globally. Zero runtime dependencies. Pure Node.js.
Start the server (binds to 127.0.0.1 only, never exposed to the network): curl -s http://127.0.0.1:3000/ > /dev/null 2>&1 || mdview & Open a file in your default browser: # macOS open "http://127.0.0.1:3000/view?path=/absolute/path/to/file.md" # Linux xdg-open "http://127.0.0.1:3000/view?path=/absolute/path/to/file.md" # Windows start "http://127.0.0.1:3000/view?path=/absolute/path/to/file.md"
Tell your AI coding tool to install @wipcomputer/markdown-viewer globally Tell your AI to open a .md file in md view AI opens the file in your default browser Every save re-renders the page instantly. No refresh needed. Open multiple tabs to work on multiple documents at once.
Server binds to 127.0.0.1 only. It is not accessible from other machines. The /view?path= parameter reads files from your local filesystem. Use --root <dir> to restrict access to a specific directory tree. Recommended for shared environments. Zero npm dependencies. No supply chain risk beyond Node.js itself.
SSE-powered live reload (works in Safari, Chrome, Firefox) Multi-file support (each tab watches its own file) GitHub Flavored Markdown (tables, task lists, strikethrough) Syntax highlighting (180+ languages) Dark mode Table of contents Mermaid diagrams KaTeX math equations
Page shows the index instead of my file: The server was started with --root restricting access. Restart without --root. Safari stalls or shows blank page: Hard refresh (Cmd+Shift+R) or restart the server. Safari caches SSE connections aggressively. macOS open drops the query string: Use AppleScript instead: osascript -e 'tell application "Safari" to open location "http://127.0.0.1:3000/view?path=/your/file.md"'
Server runs at http://127.0.0.1:3000 by default. Use mdview --port 8080 to change. The server does not survive reboots. The curl check in quick start restarts it if needed. Do NOT start the server with a file path argument. Always start bare (mdview). Starting with a path locks the server to that directory. Drag and drop any .md file onto the homepage to view it. Zero external requests. All dependencies bundled locally.
