typelit — Markdown Viewer CLI and Claude Code Skill

View any markdown file beautifully in your browser, straight from your terminal.

Install

npm install -g typelit-app

or skip the install entirely:

npx typelit-app README.md

How it works

1

Point it at a file

typelit README.md
2

It opens in your browser

Your markdown is rendered beautifully with syntax highlighting, a table of contents, font themes, and dark mode.

3

Share it (optional)

Add --share to get a link that lasts 90 days:

typelit README.md --share

Claude Code integration

The CLI automatically installs a Claude Code skill on first run. After that, just type:

/typelit README.md

That's it. Your file opens in typelit, rendered and ready to read. Use --no-skill if you'd rather skip the auto-install.
