In plain English

mdrise is a plugin for the Claude AI assistant that converts Markdown files into styled, shareable HTML pages. The project addresses a practical tension: AI tools naturally write in Markdown because it is clean for version control and easy to feed back into other programs, but Markdown renders as plain, unpolished text when shared with people. mdrise bridges this gap so you can stay in Markdown for editing and collaboration, then generate a polished HTML page whenever you need to share something. When you tell Claude something like "turn this into a webpage," the skill produces a single self-contained HTML file with all its styling embedded. The content of the original Markdown is preserved exactly, every word appears unchanged, with no rewriting or summarizing. The visual style is chosen automatically based on the type of document detected: literary content, technical documentation, and product pages each receive a distinct aesthetic treatment. A floating table of contents is generated from the document's headings and scrolls with you. The skill supports more than 17 writing scripts, including Latin, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Arabic with right-to-left layout, with appropriate font recommendations for each. To avoid redundant work, mdrise stores a SHA-256 fingerprint of the source Markdown inside each generated HTML file. The next time you ask Claude to render the same document, the skill compares the fingerprint against the current file content and skips regeneration if the source has not changed. The HTML output is a single file with CSS inlined, making it easy to attach to an email or share directly. The project is released under the MIT license.
