How do I handle multi-line commands in YAML?

This skill recommends using the literal style operator (|) to preserve specific line breaks required for shell commands or code snippets.

Will this skill break my code blocks or links?

No, the skill includes specific rules to ignore code blocks, URLs, tables, and inline code to ensure that functional content remains intact.

Why does this skill enforce a 110-character limit?

The 110-character limit is a best practice for Claude-facing documentation to ensure optimal parsing, readability, and consistency across configuration files.

Does this apply to my README.md file?

Typically, this skill is reserved for Claude-facing documentation like CLAUDE.md. Standard human-facing READMEs do not have a strict character limit.

When should I use the YAML folded style (>)?

Use the folded style for prose and descriptions where you want the multi-line text to be treated as a single string with spaces instead of newlines.

Standardizes documentation with precise 110-character line wrapping and specialized YAML multi-line syntax for AI-facing files.

The Format Documentation skill ensures that project documentation remains clean, readable, and compliant with Claude's parsing preferences. It enforces a 110-character line limit for Claude-facing files like CLAUDE.md and .claude configuration hooks while intelligently protecting code blocks, URLs, and tables from being broken. By implementing YAML folded and literal operators, it allows for long metadata descriptions that remain syntactically valid, making it an essential tool for developers managing complex project protocols and AI instructions.
