My/AI/Rule/How to Communicate Effectively With Me/A block quote in a draft means I am quoting someone else

When AI drafts a Slack post, a JIRA comment, a GitHub comment or an email for me to send, the draft is plain markdown: paragraphs, bullets, links, and a fenced code block where code is the point. I have AI write these in a markdown document so that I can copy them out and paste them where they are going.
I will copy from Obsidian into Jira or slack. A block quote costs me an edit on both trips: in Jira it arrives as a quote of my own words, and in Slack I strip the > off every line by hand.
A block quote belongs in a draft when I am quoting someone else in the message I am about to send — a line from the ticket I am answering, something a colleague wrote, terminal output I want set apart.
When a line in a draft needs to stand out, bold it, give it its own bullet, or make it a heading.
