## Description

Generate idiomatic Typst (.typ) code, edit and troubleshoot Typst documents and projects, and answer Typst syntax/reference questions. Use when working with .typ files or when the user explicitly asks for Typst document creation, editing, debugging, compilation, formatting, template work, or package usage.

# typst-author skill

## Overview

This skill helps agents generate, edit, and reason about Typst documents. It provides quick‑start examples, detailed workflows, and links to the full Typst documentation (guides, tutorials, reference).

## Minimal document example

```typst
#set document(title: "My Document", author: "Author Name")
#set page(numbering: "1")
#set text(lang: "en")

// Enable paragraph justification and character-level justification
#set par(
  justify: true,
  justification-limits: (
    tracking: (min: -0.012em, max: 0.012em),
    spacing: (min: 75%, max: 120%),
  )
)

#title[My Document]

= Heading 1

This is a paragraph in Typst.

== Heading 2

#lorem(50)
```

## Workflows

- **Creating a new Typst project**: Use the "Minimal document example" above as a starting point. Skim the tutorial for the basics ([docs/tutorial/writing-in-typst.md](docs/tutorial/writing-in-typst.md)), then create the `.typ` file(s). After each `.typ` edit, follow the post-edit formatting checks below when `typstyle` is available.
- **Editing existing content**: Locate the target text and apply changes; confirm syntax against the reference when needed ([docs/reference/](docs/reference/)). After each modified `.typ` file, follow the post-edit formatting checks below.
- **Formatting & Styling**: Consult the styling guide ([docs/reference/styling.md](docs/reference/styling.md)) for `set rule`, `show rule`, and custom themes.
