Markdown No Hard Wraps

By prisma· prisma/prisma· 0

Write Markdown with soft wrapping for cleaner diffs and easier editing.

Installation

  1. Make sure Claude is on your device and in your terminal.

    Skills load from ~/.claude/skills/ when Claude Code starts up — so you need it on your machine first. If you don't have it yet, install it once with the command below, then run claude in any terminal to verify.

    One-time setup
    npm i -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code

    Already have it? Skip ahead.

  2. Paste into Claude Code or into your terminal.

    This copies the whole skill folder into ~/.claude/skills/markdown-no-artificial-line-wraps-prisma/ — the SKILL.md plus any scripts, reference docs, or templates the skill ships with. Safe default: works for every skill.

    Faster alternative (instruction-only skills)

    Skips the clone and grabs only the SKILL.md file. Don't use this if the skill ships Python scripts, reference markdowns, or asset templates — they won't be downloaded and the skill will fail when it tries to load them.

  3. Restart Claude Code.

    Quit and reopen Claude Code (or any other agent that loads from ~/.claude/skills/). New skills are picked up on startup.

  4. Just ask Claude.

    Skills auto-activate when your request matches the skill's description — no slash command needed. Trigger phrases live in the skill's own frontmatter; you can read them in the “What this skill does” section above.

Prefer to read the source first? Open on GitHub.

When Claude uses it

Writes and edits Markdown without inserting manual hard line breaks at a fixed column (e.g. 72 or 80). GitHub, docs sites, and editors soft-wrap prose; artificial breaks make diffs noisy and reflow awkward. Use when creating or editing .md files, PR bodies, ADRs, READMEs, rulecards, or any Markdown where the user cares about readable source and clean diffs — or when the user asks to avoid "hard wrapping" or "80-column" line breaks in prose.

What this skill does

Markdown: no artificial line wraps

Instructions

  1. Prose paragraphs — Keep each paragraph as one line (or join wrapped lines into one) so the renderer can wrap in the viewer. Do not break lines mid-sentence to stay under ~80 characters.

  2. When hard newlines are correct

    • Lists: one line per list item is fine; keep item text on one line unless the item is genuinely multiple paragraphs.
    • Headings: single line.
    • Fenced code blocks: preserve author intent; do not reflow code to 80 cols.
    • Tables, block quotes, HTML: follow normal Markdown rules; table rows may be long.
    • Poetry / intentional line breaks: keep explicit breaks where semantics require them.

  3. Links and emphasis — Prefer not splitting a paragraph so that a [text](url) link is alone on a continuation line in a way that obscures reading; the whole paragraph can be one line.

  4. Rationale — GitHub and most Markdown renderers wrap to the viewport. Fixed-width breaks in source only help in raw terminals; they harm git diff and merge conflict resolution.

Don’t

  • Reformat existing Markdown by hard-wrapping every paragraph to 80 columns unless the user explicitly asks for that style in that file.
  • Apply this rule to non-Markdown formats (e.g. .ts comment blocks) unless the user asks for Markdown-style prose there.
