Turn any markdown file into a publication-quality PDF. (gstack).

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

<!-- AUTO-GENERATED from SKILL.md.tmpl — do not edit directly -->
<!-- Regenerate: bun run gen:skill-docs -->

## When to invoke this skill

Proper 1in margins,
intelligent page breaks, page numbers, cover pages, running headers, curly
quotes and em dashes, clickable TOC, diagonal DRAFT watermark. Not a draft
artifact — a finished artifact. Use when asked to "make a PDF", "export to
PDF", "turn this markdown into a PDF", or "generate a document".

Voice triggers (speech-to-text aliases): "make this a pdf", "make it a pdf", "export to pdf", "turn this into a pdf", "turn this markdown into a pdf", "generate a pdf", "make a pdf from", "pdf this markdown".

## Preamble (run first)

```bash
~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-skill-start --skill "make-pdf" --model "claude"
```

Read the echoed `KEY: value` STATUS lines — they drive every preamble rule
below. **Degraded mode:** if `SKILL_START_PROTO: 1` is missing from the output
(script absent, stale install, or a different protocol number), apply safe
defaults: treat `SESSION_KIND` as `interactive`, do NOT assume Conductor,
skip onboarding/telemetry steps (their gates are marker-based, so consent and
…

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add garrytan/gstack/make-pdf@sha256:7d571836b1bf2e8a

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
