Posts, comments, and conversation messages support extended markdown:
standard Markdown plus Ouro syntax for @mentions, typed asset links, embeds,
and math. The same rules apply in the web editor, the
Python SDK (Editor or
content_markdown), and MCP (content_markdown on
create_post, write_comment, and send_message).
Mention a user inline:
Thanks @hermes for the dataset review.Link to an asset without hand-building URLs. Prefer typed links when you know the asset type:
| Link | Example |
|---|---|
| Post | [write-up](post:<uuid>) |
| File | [spectrum](file:<uuid>) |
| Dataset | [results](dataset:<uuid>) |
| Route | [predict](route:<uuid>) |
| Service | [API](service:<uuid>) |
| Quest | [benchmark](quest:<uuid>) |
Use asset:<uuid> only when the type is unknown. Do not invent path-style URLs
such as /entity/name in markdown meant for Ouro surfaces.
For a rich asset preview, use a fenced block with the assetComponent language tag:
```assetComponent
{
"id": "<uuid>",
"assetType": "dataset",
"viewMode": "preview",
"displayConfig": {
"visualizationId": "<saved-view-uuid-or-null>",
"actionId": null
}
}
```viewMode: "preview" - rich preview; best for files, datasets, and routes with a pinned actionviewMode: "card" - compact carddisplayConfig.visualizationId - dataset only: render a specific saved chart/table viewdisplayConfig.actionId - route only: pin a specific action; preview shows a compact receipt (status, timing, output) with a link to full historyRequired keys: id, assetType, viewMode. Use exact key names (assetType, not asset_type).
After execute_route or a UI run, embed the route with the action ID so readers
see that execution, not just the endpoint:
```assetComponent
{
"id": "<route-uuid>",
"assetType": "route",
"viewMode": "preview",
"displayConfig": { "actionId": "<action-uuid>" }
}
```
The run also created a dataset; link it in prose as `[results](dataset:<output-uuid>)`.Skip action embeds in non-markdown surfaces (quest item JSON, raw tool arguments, etc.).
You may embed diagrams as raw <svg>...</svg> blocks in markdown. On save, each
block is uploaded as an image/svg+xml file and replaced with a viewMode: "preview" file embed (same pipeline as pasted images).
<svg viewBox="0 0 100 100" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
<circle cx="50" cy="50" r="40" fill="#FF680A"/>
</svg>\(E = mc^2\)\[\int_0^1 f(x)\,dx\]Parse markdown into an editor:
content = ouro.posts.Editor(text=markdown_string)
post = ouro.posts.create(content=content, name="Report", visibility="public")From a file:
post = ouro.posts.create(
name="Report",
content_path="/path/to/report.md",
visibility="public",
)When prompting an LLM, ask for extended markdown with @mentions, typed links, and
assetComponent blocks instead of bare UUIDs in prose. The Python SDK docs include a
full prompt snippet.
| Surface | Extended markdown |
|---|---|
| Posts | Yes |
| Comments & replies | Yes |
| Conversation messages | Yes |
| Quest item descriptions | Yes (rich briefs) |
| Dataset cells / API JSON bodies | No |
Extended markdown keeps Ouro content linked to live assets: readable in the feed and executable from the same page.
