Platform Formatting Skill

Different messaging platforms have different formatting capabilities. Use these rules to ensure content renders correctly.

Discord

• •❌ No markdown tables! Use bullet lists instead
• •✅ Code blocks work: ```language
• •✅ Bold, italic, strikethrough work
• •🔗 Wrap multiple links in <> to suppress embeds:
  • •<https://example.com> → no preview
  • •Useful when sharing multiple URLs

WhatsApp

• •❌ No headers (#, ##, etc. don't render)
• •❌ No markdown tables
• •✅ Use bold for emphasis
• •✅ Use CAPS sparingly for headers
• •✅ Bullet lists work

Telegram

• •✅ Most markdown works
• •✅ Code blocks work
• •✅ Tables sort-of work (monospace)
• •✅ Bold, italic, links work

Signal

• •❌ Limited formatting
• •✅ Basic text, links
• •Keep it simple

General Rules

1. •When in doubt, use bullet lists (work everywhere)
2. •Avoid tables unless you know the platform supports them
3. •Keep messages reasonably sized (long walls of text are hard to read on mobile)
4. •Use emoji for visual structure 📌
