SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

The cmux markdown open operation sometimes spawns a right pane but renders nothing after a move or when other right panes are present, forcing users into clunky workarounds. This Skill provides safe, reliable patterns to avoid blank renders by guiding users to open markdown correctly on first try or to reset the right pane state before opening a new one.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Safe opening: Prevents blank surface renders when displaying Markdown in cmux right panes.
  • Two reliable workflows: Open on the first attempt, or close conflicting right panes and then open a fresh pane.
  • Workspace-aware guidance: Applies to multi-pane cmux sessions while preserving focus and workflow continuity.

Quick Start

Open the markdown file on the right pane using cmux markdown open the first time, or close existing right panes and then open a fresh right pane.

Frequently Asked Questions about markdown-rendering

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
Why does cmux render a blank right pane when opening a markdown file?▼

A blank right pane occurs when a markdown viewer is moved or when conflicting right panes are already open. Avoid moving the surface and close existing right panes before opening a fresh markdown view.

How do I open a markdown file in a cmux right pane without it going blank?▼

To open markdown reliably, use cmux markdown open on the first attempt without moving the surface. If other right panes exist, close them first before opening a fresh markdown pane.

Can I display markdown in a multi-pane cmux session without losing focus?▼

Yes, you can display markdown in multi-pane cmux sessions. The workflow anchors to the current workspace and preserves focus by closing conflicting right panes before opening a fresh markdown viewer.

What is the best way to troubleshoot blank markdown renders in cmux?▼

The best way to troubleshoot blank markdown renders is to reset the right pane state. Close any conflicting right panes, then open a fresh markdown pane using cmux markdown open to ensure content displays.

When should I not move-surface a markdown viewer in cmux?▼

You should never move-surface a markdown viewer in cmux. Moving the surface causes blank renders; instead, close conflicting right panes and open a fresh markdown viewer anchored to the current workspace.
