# Format Markdown
Run `prettier` on every markdown file after creating or editing it.
## When This Skill Applies
After every Write or Edit to any `.md` file in the project. This includes:
- Issue documents (`issues/*.md`)
- Documentation (`docs/*.md`)
- `README.md` files
- `AGENTS.md` files
- Any other markdown file
## Process
After your edits to a markdown file are complete, run:
```bash
prettier --write --prose-wrap always --print-width 80 <file_path>
```
**IMPORTANT:** Use the `prettier` CLI directly. NEVER use `npx prettier`. The
tool is installed globally — `npx` is unnecessary and slow.
That's it. No other steps needed.
