# Visual — human-first markdown digest Restate one thing visually, in compact markdown, on one screen. The structure IS the output: the reader scans the shape, spots the wrong thing, and drills into only that file instead of reading everything to find out whether anything is wrong. **Output contract:** compact markdown visuals rendered in chat — fenced text/diff/code blocks and tiny tables. Never images, never HTML files, never a written artifact. Everything here renders natively in the terminal, in chat, and on every forge: ```diff fences color for free, ```text is monospace everywhere, ```ts gets highlighting for free. There is no rendering machinery — the shapes below are the whole product. **Read-only.** This skill reads state and responds. It never writes files, never mutates flow state, never commits, never runs a workflow. (If the user asks to save a digest, that is an ordinary Write with ordinary consent — not a mode of this skill.) Rich HTML render lenses are a different register and stay where they are (`artifacts.html.enabled`); this skill never produces or replaces them. ## Preamble flowctl is bundled with the plugin (not on PATH). Define once; subsequent blocks use `$FLOWCTL`: ```bash FLOWCTL="${CODEX_HOME:-$HOME/.codex}/scripts/flowctl" [ -x "$FLOWCTL" ] || FLOWCTL="<plugin-root>/scripts/flowctl" # <plugin-root> = the directory two levels above this skill's SKILL.md file (the harness gave you that file's absolute path when the skill loaded); substitute ...
