# Markdown Formatter
Apply Liferay Markdown conventions to the target file so its structure, casing, and prose are consistent and professional.
## Input
When `${ARGUMENTS}` is a path to a Markdown file, format that file. When no path is supplied, ask the user which file to format.
## Workflow
### Read the File
Read the target file in full before making changes. Note the frontmatter, headings, code blocks, and any conventions already in use.
### Apply the Conventions
Apply all conventions defined in `.claude/rules/markdown-style.md`. Work through each category in order. Fix each category before moving to the next.
### Validate
Reread the file after the pass and confirm every check still holds.
### Report
Summarize the changes, grouped by category (frontmatter, headings, prose, shell, lists).
