  • Markdown instructions

    A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.

  • Works with any LLM

    AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.

  • 4 bundled files

    Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.

  • Open source

    Published by JimLiu on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Baoyu Markdown To Html AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

1

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

  1. Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
  2. Choose "Install from GitHub".
  3. Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
  4. Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.
Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.
2

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/JimLiu/baoyu-skills.git /tmp/baoyu-skills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/baoyu-skills/skills/baoyu-markdown-to-html .claude/skills/baoyu-markdown-to-html
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Baoyu Markdown To Html in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Baoyu Markdown To Html on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Baoyu Markdown To Html is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

  • Loaded only when it is needed

    The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.

  • Switch models mid-chat

    Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Markdown to HTML Converter

Converts Markdown files to beautifully styled HTML with inline CSS, optimized for WeChat Official Account and other platforms.

User Input Tools

When this skill prompts the user, follow this tool-selection rule (priority order):

  1. Prefer built-in user-input tools exposed by the current agent runtime — e.g., AskUserQuestion, request_user_input, clarify, ask_user, or any equivalent.
  2. Fallback: if no such tool exists, emit a numbered plain-text message and ask the user to reply with the chosen number/answer for each question.
  3. Batching: if the tool supports multiple questions per call, combine all applicable questions into a single call; if only single-question, ask them one at a time in priority order.

Concrete AskUserQuestion references below are examples — substitute the local equivalent in other runtimes.

Script Directory

Agent Execution: Determine this SKILL.md directory as {baseDir}. Resolve ${BUN_X} runtime: if bun installed → bun; if npx available → npx -y bun; else suggest installing bun. Replace {baseDir} and ${BUN_X} with actual values.

ScriptPurpose
scripts/main.tsMain entry point

Preferences (EXTEND.md)

Check EXTEND.md in priority order — the first one found wins:

PriorityPathScope
1.baoyu-skills/baoyu-markdown-to-html/EXTEND.mdProject
2${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}/baoyu-skills/baoyu-markdown-to-html/EXTEND.mdXDG
3$HOME/.baoyu-skills/baoyu-markdown-to-html/EXTEND.mdUser home

If none found, use defaults.

EXTEND.md supports: default theme, custom CSS variables, code block style, mermaid defaults (mermaid_theme, mermaid_scale, mermaid_background).

Workflow

Step 0: Pre-check (Chinese Content)

Condition: Only execute if input file contains Chinese text.

Detection:

  1. Read input markdown file
  2. Check if content contains CJK characters (Chinese/Japanese/Korean)
  3. If no CJK content → skip to Step 1

Format Suggestion:

If CJK content detected AND baoyu-format-markdown skill is available:

Use AskUserQuestion to ask whether to format first. Formatting can fix:

  • Bold markers with punctuation inside causing ** parse failures
  • CJK/English spacing issues

If user agrees: Invoke baoyu-format-markdown skill to format the file, then use formatted file as input.

If user declines: Continue with original file.

Step 1: Determine Theme

Theme resolution order (first match wins):

  1. User explicitly specified theme (CLI --theme or conversation)
  2. EXTEND.md default_theme (this skill's own EXTEND.md, checked in Step 0)
  3. baoyu-post-to-wechat EXTEND.md default_theme (cross-skill fallback)
  4. If none found → use AskUserQuestion to confirm

Cross-skill EXTEND.md check (only if this skill's EXTEND.md has no default_theme):

Read $HOME/.baoyu-skills/baoyu-post-to-wechat/EXTEND.md if it exists and look for a default_theme: line. Use the value if present; otherwise fall through.

If theme is resolved from EXTEND.md: Use it directly, do NOT ask the user.

If no default found: use AskUserQuestion to confirm a theme from the Themes table below.

Step 1.5: Determine Citation Mode

Default: Off. Do not ask by default.

Enable only if the user explicitly asks for "微信外链转底部引用", "底部引用", "文末引用", or passes --cite.

Behavior when enabled:

  • Ordinary external links are rendered with numbered superscripts and collected under a final 引用链接 section.
  • https://mp.weixin.qq.com/... links stay as direct links and are not moved to the bottom.
  • Bare links where link text equals URL stay inline.

Step 2: Convert

bash
${BUN_X} {baseDir}/scripts/main.ts <markdown_file> --theme <theme> [--cite]

Step 3: Report Result

Display the output path from JSON result. If backup was created, mention it.

# With specific theme
${BUN_X} {baseDir}/scripts/main.ts article.md --theme grace

# Theme with custom color
${BUN_X} {baseDir}/scripts/main.ts article.md --theme modern --color red

# Enable bottom citations for ordinary external links
${BUN_X} {baseDir}/scripts/main.ts article.md --cite

# Keep the first heading in content
${BUN_X} {baseDir}/scripts/main.ts article.md --keep-title

# Override title
${BUN_X} {baseDir}/scripts/main.ts article.md --title "My Article"

Output

File location: Same directory as input markdown file.

  • Input: /path/to/article.md
  • Output: /path/to/article.html

Conflict handling: If HTML file already exists, it will be backed up first:

  • Backup: /path/to/article.html.bak-YYYYMMDDHHMMSS

JSON output to stdout:

json
{
  "title": "Article Title",
  "author": "Author Name",
  "summary": "Article summary...",
  "htmlPath": "/path/to/article.html",
  "backupPath": "/path/to/article.html.bak-20260128180000",
  "contentImages": [
    {
      "placeholder": "MDTOHTMLIMGPH_1",
      "localPath": "/path/to/img.png",
      "originalPath": "imgs/image.png"
    }
  ],
  "mermaidImages": [
    {
      "hash": "a1b2c3d4e5f6",
      "localPath": "/path/to/imgs/.mermaid-cache/mermaid-a1b2c3d4e5f6.png",
      "cached": false
    }
  ]
}

Mermaid rendering: Code blocks fenced as ```mermaid are rendered to PNGs via headless Chrome (CDP) and cached at imgs/.mermaid-cache/mermaid-<hash>.png. The cache key includes the code, theme, scale, target width, background, and mermaid version. Add imgs/.mermaid-cache/ to .gitignore if you do not want generated diagrams checked in. Requires Chrome/Chromium/Edge on the system; otherwise the block falls back to <pre class="mermaid">…</pre> and conversion still succeeds.

Converts Markdown to styled HTML with WeChat-compatible themes. Supports code highlighting, math, Mermaid (rendered to PNG via headless Chrome), PlantUML, footnotes, alerts, infographics, and optional bottom citations for external links. Use when user asks for "markdown to html", "convert md to html", "md 转 html", "微信外链转底部引用", or needs styled HTML output from markdown.

Why use Baoyu Markdown To Html on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Baoyu Markdown To Html is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Baoyu Markdown To Html in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/JimLiu/baoyu-skills/tree/main/skills/baoyu-markdown-to-html. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Baoyu Markdown To Html?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Baoyu Markdown To Html?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Baoyu Markdown To Html with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Baoyu Markdown To Html AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by JimLiu under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
