About this skill

Render

Convert Markdown into shareable documents with the bundled script. It needs only uv (pandoc ships inside the pypandoc-binary dependency) and, for PDF, Chrome/Chromium/Edge or WeasyPrint. Paths below are relative to this skill's directory.

uv run scripts/render.py <file.md|dir> [more…] [options]

Options: -f html,docx,pdf (default all three), -o DIR (default: next to each source), -r (recurse directories), --toc, --css FILE (HTML/PDF styling), --reference-docx FILE (Word styles).

Choosing inputs and formats

  • /render path/to/file.md → render that file to all three formats.
  • /render with no argument → use the Markdown file the conversation is about (just written or edited). If several are plausible, ask which; if none, ask for a path.
  • Honor any formats or output directory the user names ("just a PDF" → -f pdf).
  • Outputs overwrite same-named .html/.docx/.pdf next to the source. If one exists and wasn't produced by this skill earlier in the session, mention it before overwriting or use -o.

Behavior worth knowing

  • Input is GitHub-flavored Markdown plus YAML front matter (title, subtitle, author, date become the document header), footnotes, $math$, and smart quotes.
  • Design: editorial and quiet. HTML/PDF use Charter for reading, Inter for headings and labels, one ink-blue accent, and fall back to Georgia/system fonts where those aren't installed. HTML is self-contained (CSS, images embedded) and follows light/dark mode. PDF is printed from the same HTML with print sizing and page numbers.
  • DOCX uses the bundled assets/reference.docx (Georgia body, Aptos headings, Consolas code: fonts recipients have). Rebuild it with uv run scripts/build_reference_docx.py after changing its palette or fonts.
  • Relative image paths resolve from the source file's folder.
  • To change the look, edit assets/style.css or pass --css. For a different Word style, pass --reference-docx (--init-reference-docx ref.docx writes pandoc's plain default to start from).

After rendering

The script prints ok/FAIL per output and exits non-zero on any failure. Report the output paths and any failures. Open or share the files only if the user asks or it's clearly wanted.
