How do I review the content Claude creates?

What file formats does this skill support?

This skill specifically generates .txt files formatted with Markdown and XML structures for maximum cross-platform compatibility and readability.

Why use XML tags inside a plain text file?

The XML tags provide semantic clarity, helping to programmatically and visually separate the summary, context, and details in a way that is easy for both humans and AI to parse.

Does it work on all operating systems?

Yes, it includes specific commands to automatically open the generated text files using 'open' on macOS, 'xdg-open' on Linux, and 'start' on Windows.
