Example workflows

Starting points built from this record, not transcripts of a run. Each prompt is written the way it should be sent, as one paragraph, and each is worth editing before you send it.

1. 01

   Stand it up from scratch

   You have read the record and want Formatted Markdown Previews working in a real project rather than a sandbox.

   Set up Formatted Markdown Previews in this project — formatted Markdown previews in the Files tab. Walk it end to end, tell me exactly what you changed, and flag anything I have to switch on myself before it works.

   Expected outcome

   A working setup, a plain list of what changed, and a short list of anything left for you to switch on. Check that list before assuming it is done.

2. 02

   Review it before you publish

   Formatted Markdown Previews is wired in and you are about to put it in front of people. This is the pass that catches the half-configured version.

   Review how this project uses Formatted Markdown Previews before I publish. Check preview markdown files as formatted text and supports task lists, footnotes, and code blocks, list anything that is missing, misconfigured, or only half wired, fix what is safe to fix, and tell me what you left alone and why.

   Expected outcome

   A findings list split into what was fixed and what was left, with a reason for each. Anything left alone is yours to decide on.

3. 03

   Decide whether it fits your project

   Worth five minutes before you wire anything in. Formatted Markdown Previews sits in Editor, and not every project needs it.

   I am building the project in this workspace. Given that Formatted Markdown Previews formatted Markdown previews in the Files tab, tell me honestly whether it fits what I am building, including the cases where I should not use it. If it does fit, give me the single smallest first step.

   Expected outcome

   A direct yes or no with the reasoning, the cases against it, and one first step. Treat a hedged answer as a no.
