/cs:md-document — Long-form markdown → HTML
Convert the markdown at $ARGUMENTS into a single-file interactive HTML document.
Pre-flight gates (refuse, never override)
- Input < 100 lines → refuse (markdown wins below the threshold per Shihipar).
wc -l <path>to confirm. - Design-system not onboarded → refuse, surface
/cs:design-system. - Output directory unwritable → refuse, ask user for an alternate via
--out.
Pipeline
# 1. Classify (if not already routed by orchestrator)
python3 markdown-html/skills/markdown-html-orchestrator/scripts/doctype_classifier.py \
--input "<path>.md" --output json \
| python3 markdown-html/skills/markdown-html-orchestrator/scripts/route_explainer.py
# 2. Resolve the output path
python3 markdown-html/skills/markdown-html-orchestrator/scripts/output_path_resolver.py \
--input "<path>.md" --doctype document
# 3. Parse → render → inject
python3 markdown-html/skills/md-document/scripts/markdown_parser.py \
--input "<path>.md" --output /tmp/sections.json
python3 markdown-html/skills/md-document/scripts/html_renderer.py \
--sections /tmp/sections.json --output <resolved-out>.html
python3 markdown-html/skills/md-document/scripts/interactivity_injector.py \
--file <resolved-out>.html \
--features search,copycode,smoothscroll,scrollspy
What ships in the HTML
- Sticky-sidebar TOC (default; configurable via
toc.behaviorin design-system) - Scrollspy:
aria-current="location"on the TOC entry for the section in view - Search bar (Esc clears): filters which H2 sections are visible
- Code-copy buttons on every
<pre>(vanillanavigator.clipboardwithexecCommandfallback) - Smooth-scroll on TOC link clicks
- Prism.js syntax highlighting (autoloader fetches only the languages this doc uses)
- 12 brand CSS custom properties from the design-system's
derived_palette @media (prefers-reduced-motion: reduce)honored- Print-friendly via the browser's native print stylesheet (no
@pageoverrides needed for documents)
Hard rules
- Output is one
.htmlfile. No multi-file output, no extracted CSS/JS, no asset folders. - External CDN:
fonts.googleapis.com+cdn.jsdelivr.net(Prism). Nothing else. - No JS framework runtime. Vanilla JS + IntersectionObserver only.
- Re-running on the same input writes
doc-{slug}-2.htmletc. (collision suffix).
Output
Returns: input lines, output path, design style applied, top 3 features used, one forcing question.
