What problem does it solve? AI assistants output Markdown by default (double asterisks, # headings, text links), but WhatsApp has no Markdown renderer, so pasted messages show raw symbols and look broken. This Skill converts or writes messages using only WhatsApp's native syntax and runs a mandatory lint pass to catch leftover Markdown before delivery. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Four input modes: format pasted raw text, write and format from a description, convert existing Markdown, or reformat the last message in the conversation. - Markdown-to-WhatsApp conversion rules: maps **bold** to *bold*, # heading to bold pseudo-titles, [text](url) to text: url, tables to key-value lists, and more. - Mandatory lint step: scans the output for the eight patterns that break in WhatsApp (double asterisks, headings, Markdown links, double tildes, stray spaces) and fixes them before delivery. - Readability guidance: pseudo-titles, blank-line spacing, emoji as field labels, and quote blocks for critical info, with templates for team announcements. - Use Case: Paste a project update written in Markdown and receive a clean WhatsApp message in a code block, ready to copy, with the deadline bolded and the link as a raw clickable URL. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to format a pasted announcement or draft a new team message for WhatsApp, and it will return one ready-to-paste message in a code block.
