What it does
Use this skill when visual quality and design identity matter for a PDF. CREATE (generate from scratch): "make a PDF", "generate a report", "write a proposal", "create a resume", "beautiful PDF", "professional document", "cover page", "polished PDF", "client-ready document". FILL (complete form fields): "fill in the form", "fill out this PDF", "complete the form fields", "write values into PDF", "what fields does this PDF have". REFORMAT (apply design to an existing doc): "reformat this document", "apply our style", "convert this Markdown/text to PDF", "make this doc look good", "re-style this PDF". This skill uses a token-based design system: color, typography, and spacing are derived from the document type and flow through every page. The output is print-ready. Prefer this skill when appearance matters, not just when any PDF output is needed.

Three tasks. One skill.
Read design/design.md before any CREATE or REFORMAT work.
Route table
| User intent | Route | Scripts used |
|---|---|---|
| Generate a new PDF from scratch | CREATE | palette.py → cover.py → render_cover.js → render_body.py → merge.py |
| Fill / complete form fields in an existing PDF | FILL | fill_inspect.py → fill_write.py |
| Reformat / re-style an existing document | REFORMAT | reformat_parse.py → then full CREATE pipeline |
Rule: when in doubt between CREATE and REFORMAT, ask whether the user has an existing document to start from. If yes → REFORMAT. If no → CREATE.
Route A: CREATE
Full pipeline, content → design tokens → cover → body → merged PDF.
