How to share what Claude produces

2026-10-09 · 4 min read

To share what Claude produces, copy its output as markdown, paste it into sharemd.net and select Share. The read-only link opens a rendered page with headings, tables, code, Mermaid diagrams and math in place, and nobody needs an account to create or read it.

Claude’s output is often long and structured: a design document, a review, a plan with a diagram, a file written by a coding agent. This guide covers how to share each of those so the reader sees what Claude wrote, not a wall of symbols.

Steps

Copy the output as markdown. In a chat, use the copy control on the response or ask Claude to return the result as raw markdown in a code block. If a coding agent wrote a .md file, open the file and copy its contents.
Open sharemd.net and paste it into the editor.
Switch to Preview and scroll through once. Check that diagrams and math render and that nothing important is missing.
Select Share and send the read-only link to the people who need it.

The steps are deliberately generic about Claude’s interface: the copy controls and their behavior differ between the web app, the desktop apps and developer tools, and they change over time. What matters is that the editor receives markdown source. If you paste and see ## and | characters in the editor, you have it.

Long documents

When Claude writes a document with three or more headings, the read view adds a table of contents automatically, and every heading gets an anchor. For a ten-section design document, that turns a long scroll into something a reviewer can navigate. A link that ends in a heading’s anchor points a colleague straight to that section.

If you want a title in the link preview that differs from the first heading, add a frontmatter block at the top with title:. The block itself is hidden from the rendered page.

Code

Code blocks are highlighted for JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, HTML/XML, CSS, JSON, SQL, Bash, YAML, Go, Rust, Java and C++. Claude usually labels code fences with the language, and that label is what selects the highlighting. Code in other languages is shown as plain monospaced text, still readable and copyable.

Diagrams and math

Claude often answers architecture or process questions with a Mermaid diagram in a ```mermaid block. In most chat tools and email that arrives as source code. On sharemd.net it renders as a diagram in the read view. The same applies to math written with KaTeX syntax, $inline$ or $$block$$, which is common in answers about statistics, algorithms or physics.

One caveat: if you later export the document as a standalone .html file, Mermaid and math stay as source in that file and code is not highlighted. The shared link is the version where they render.

Output from coding agents

Coding agents frequently write their results to markdown files: a plan, a summary of changes, a migration checklist, a report of failing tests. Those files are meant to be read by people, and the terminal is not the right place to read them.

Copy the file’s contents into sharemd.net and share the link in the pull request or the team channel. A file up to 500 KB fits. Task lists (- [ ] and - [x]) render as checkboxes, which suits agent-written checklists.

Before sharing agent output, read it for secrets. Agents sometimes echo environment variables, tokens or internal URLs into their summaries. Shared documents are not indexed by search engines and can be reached only with the link, but anyone who has the link can read the content.

Things that will not come through

Raw HTML. If the output contains HTML tags, they show as text rather than being rendered. Ask Claude for pure markdown when the output is meant to be shared.
Interactive output. An interactive page or small app is not markdown. sharemd.net shares documents, so share the markdown parts.
Attachments and images uploaded to the chat. Only the text you paste is part of the document.

What happens to the content

sharemd.net does not process the content with AI: nothing is summarized, translated or rewritten on the way. The document is stored as you pasted it and expires 15 days after creation, when its content is deleted automatically. That suits the typical life of a Claude answer shared for a review or a decision.
