- ### Tester-facing Markdown (blockquotes vs code blocks)
106
-
107
- - **Messages addressed to the tester are rendered as Markdown
108
- blockquotes** (lines prefixed with `> `): instructions, narrative
109
- context, numbered choice menus, prompts, confirmations. The
110
- blockquote is the visual cue that says "this is for you, tester".
111
- **Code / terminal blocks stay OUTSIDE the blockquote** `bash`
112
- fences are commands the tester will copy and run; they must be
113
- plain code blocks so the copy works cleanly. If a step has both
114
- narrative and a command, write the narrative in a blockquote
115
- *above* the bare code block (not inside it).
105
+ ### Tester-facing rendering (host-dependent)
106
+
107
+ - **The `> ` blockquote prefix on tester messages is conditional**,
108
+ applied only when the host renders Markdown blockquotes as a
109
+ styled element. Use the runtime detected in §Provider detection
110
+ to decide:
111
+ - `provider == claude` (Claude Code host, blockquotes render as
112
+ a styled left bar): emit tester-facing messages with `> `
113
+ prefix on every line, including blank lines inside a
114
+ multi-paragraph block (the standard Markdown blockquote shape).
115
+ - `provider != claude` (Gemini CLI, agent-skills, any other
116
+ host: most non-Claude renderers show `>` as a literal
117
+ character and the visual styling is lost): emit **plain
118
+ prose**, NO `> ` prefix anywhere.
119
+ - The sample messages shown throughout this SKILL are written in
120
+ the **Claude variant** (with `> `). When the host is non-Claude,
121
+ strip the leading `> ` from each line (and the bare `>` on blank
122
+ lines) before emitting, the wording itself is unchanged. The
123
+ blockquote is purely a visual marker, not part of the message
124
+ content, so the tester reads the same instruction either way.
125
+ - **Code / terminal blocks always stay at the top level** in the
126
+ source, never indented under `> ` even in the Claude variant.
127
+ `bash` fences are commands the tester will copy and run; they
128
+ must be plain code blocks so copy-paste is clean. If a step has
129
