Problem Statement

I often need to copy the output of CC into GitHub or Slack. The underlying models seem to produce their output in markdown already, and the CC CLI is rendering the markdown nicely.
However, it would be nice to keep the colored rendering AND have the markdown characters, like ** or ` included in the output.
This makes the output easy to read on the CLI and easy to copy-paste.

Proposed Solution

Introduce a configuration flag.

Alternative Solutions

Allow putting a custom instruction for this into CLAUDE.md
