Overview

From the repository's own README, as read at the audited commit. Badges and raw HTML are left out.

A Claude skill for creating and editing visually polished PDFs. Three routes. One design system. Tokens flow from content analysis through every renderer.

Quick start

bash scripts/make.sh check   # verify deps
bash scripts/make.sh fix     # auto-install missing deps
bash scripts/make.sh demo    # → demo.pdf

Route A: CREATE — generate a new PDF

bash scripts/make.sh run \
--title   "Q3 Strategy Review" \
--type    "proposal" \
--author  "Strategy Team" \
--date    "October 2025" \
--content content.json \
--out     report.pdf

`--type` options:

content.json block types:

{"type": "h1",      "text": "Section Title"},

What it tells the agent

The instruction file, verbatim from the audited commit — this is the text the model reads, and the surface the audit's instruction layer examines. Quoted here so you can judge it without cloning anything.

description: >
  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.

# minimax-pdf

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.

```bash
bash scripts/make.sh run \
  --title "Q3 Strategy Review" --type proposal \
  --author "Strategy Team" --date "October 2025" \
  --accent "#2D5F8A" \
  --content content.json --out report.pdf
```

**Doc types:** `report` · `proposal` · `resume` · `portfolio` · `academic` · `general` · `minimal` · `stripe` · `diagonal` · `frame` · `editorial` · `magazine` · `darkroom` · `terminal` · `poster`

| Type | Cover pattern | Visual identity |
|---|---|---|
| `report` | `fullbleed` | Dark bg, dot grid, Playfair Display |
| `proposal` | `split` | Left panel + right geometric, Syne |
| `resume` | `typographic` | Oversized first-word, DM Serif Display |
| `portfolio` | `atmospheric` | Near-black, radial glow, Fraunces |
| `academic` | `typographic` | Light bg, classical serif, EB Garamond |
| `general` | `fullbleed` | Dark slate, Outfit |
| `minimal` | `minimal` | White + single 8px accent bar, Cormorant Garamond |
| `stripe` | `stripe` | 3 bold horizontal color bands, Barlow Condensed |
| `diagonal` | `diagonal` | SVG angled cut, dark/light halves, Montserrat |
| `frame` | `frame` | Inset border, corner ornaments, Cormorant |
| `editorial` | `editorial` | Ghost letter, all-caps title, Bebas Neue |
| `magazine` | `magazine` | Warm cream bg, centered stack, hero image, Playfair Display |
| `darkroom` | `darkroom` | Navy bg, centered stack, grayscale image, Playfair Display |
| `terminal` | `terminal` | Near-black, grid lines, monospace, neon green |
| `poster` | `poster` | White bg, thick sidebar, oversized title, Barlow Condensed |

Cover extras (inject into tokens via `--abstract`, `--cover-image`):
- `--abstract "text"` — abstract text block on the cover (magazine/darkroom)
- `--cover-image "url"` — hero image URL/path (magazine, darkroom, poster)

**Color overrides — always choose these based on document content:**
- `--accent "#HEX"` — override the accent color; `accent_lt` is auto-derived by lightening toward white
- `--cover-bg "#HEX"` — override the cover background color

**Accent color selection guidance:**

You have creative authority over the accent color. Pick it from the document's semantic context — title, industry, purpose, audience — not from generic "safe" choices. The accent appears on section rules, callout bars, table headers, and the cover: it carries the document's visual identity.

| Context | Suggested accent range |
|---|---|
| Legal / compliance / finance | Deep navy `#1C3A5E`, charcoal `#2E3440`, slate `#3D4C5E` |
| Healthcare / medical | Teal-green `#2A6B5A`, cool green `#3A7D6A` |
| Technology / engineering | Steel blue `#2D5F8A`, indigo `#3D4F8A` |
| Environmental / sustainability | Forest `#2E5E3A`, olive `#4A5E2A` |
| Creative / arts / culture | Burgundy `#6B2A35`, plum `#5A2A6B`, terracotta `#8A3A2A` |
| Academic / research | Deep teal `#2A5A6B`, library blue `#2A4A6B` |
| Corporate / neutral | Slate `#3D4A5A`, graphite `#444C56` |
| Luxury / premium | Warm black `#1A1208`, deep bronze `#4A3820` |

**Rule:** choose a color that a thoughtful designer would select for this specific document — not the type's default. Muted, desaturated tones work best; avoid vivid primaries. When in doubt, go darker and more neutral.

**content.json block types:**

| Block | Usage | Key fields |
|---|---|---|
| `h1` | Section heading + accent rule | `text` |
| `h2` | Subsection heading | `text` |
| `h3` | Sub-subsection (bold) | `text` |
| `body` | Justified paragraph; supports `<b>` `<i>` markup | `text` |
| `bullet` | Unordered list item (• prefix) | `text` |
| `numbered` | Ordered list item — counter auto-resets on non-numbered blocks | `text` |
| `callout` | Highlighted insight box with accent left bar | `text` |
| `table` | Data table — accent header, alternating row tints | `headers`, `rows`, `col_widths`?, `caption`? |
| `image` | Embedded image scaled to column width | `path`/`src`, `caption`? |
| `figure` | Image with auto-numbered "Figure N:" caption | `path`/`src`, `caption`? |
| `code` | Monospace code block with accent left border | `text`, `language`? |
| `math` | Display math — LaTeX syntax via matplotlib mathtext | `text`, `label`?, `caption`? |
| `chart` | Bar / line / pie chart rendered with matplotlib | `chart_type`, `labels`, `datasets`,

Is Minimax Pdf safe to install?

The audit found nothing in the source that contradicts what it says it does, and graded it B (89/100). Grade A is held back for packages that have also passed a sandboxed behavioural run, which is why a clean skill reads B.

What can Minimax Pdf access on my machine?

The audit observed that it runs shell commands. Each of those is consistent with what it says it does. Secrets in the source: none found.

How current is this page?

The grade is for one exact copy of the source (ed74af403cbc), read on 2026-10-08. The repository is watched, and a new audit runs when it changes — this is the first audit.
