# minimax-pdf output preview
## PART A: Task fit
- Use case: > Three tasks. One skill. | User intent | Route | Scripts used | | Generate a new PDF from scratch | CREATE | palette.py → cover.py → rendercover.js → renderbody.py → merge.py | runs entirely locally; runs on Node.js. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Cline and 23 more..
- Inputs: target material, constraints, expected output, and acceptance criteria.
- Evidence boundary: follow “Read design/design.md before any CREATE or REFORMAT work. / Route table / Route A: CREATE” and do not present inference as author intent.
## PART B: Execution result
- **01** The card summarizes the use case; runtime output centers on “> Three tasks. One skill. | User intent | Route | Scripts used | | Generate a new PDF from scratch | CREATE | palette.py → cover.py → rendercover.js → renderbody.py → merge.py | runs entirely locally; runs on Node.js. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Cline and 23 more.”.
- **02** When the source has headings, the agent prioritizes “Read design/design.md before any CREATE or REFORMAT work. / Route table / Route A: CREATE” so the result follows the author’s structure.
- **03** Typical output includes task judgment, concrete steps, required commands or file edits, validation, and follow-up options.
- **04** Risk context follows the fingerprint: read files, write/modify files; mostly runs locally; usually needs no extra API key.
## Running Rules
- read files, write/modify files; mostly runs locally; usually needs no extra API key.
- Validate with a small sample before expanding scope.
- Return the result, validation criteria, and next iteration options. The source does not require a stable slash command. After installation, invoke the skill by name and describe the task.
Name target files or source material, expected output, forbidden changes, and whether network or shell access is allowed. Permission fingerprint: read files, write/modify files.
Start with a small task and check whether the result follows “Read design/design.md before any CREATE or REFORMAT work. / Route table / Route A: CREATE”. Inspect diffs, logs, previews, or tests before expanding scope.
Confirm the final output includes a concrete result, evidence, and next action. If it stays generic, tighten inputs, boundaries, and acceptance criteria.

# minimax-pdf
## When to use
- > Three tasks. One skill. | User intent | Route | Scripts used | | Generate a new PDF from scratch | CREATE | palette.…
- Use it when the task has clear inputs, repeatable steps, and validation criteria.
## What to provide
- Target material, scope, expected result, and forbidden changes.
- Whether network, commands, file writes, or external services are allowed.
## Execution rules
- Organize steps around “Read design/design.md before any CREATE or REFORMAT work. / Route table / Route A: CREATE” and keep inference separate from source facts.
- read files, write/modify files; mostly runs locally; usually needs no extra API key.
- Validate with a small sample before expanding the task.
## Output requirements
- Return the deliverable, key evidence, validation method, and next action.
- Mark missing information as unknown; do not invent commands, platforms, or dependencies. The author source anchors workflow facts; repository files anchor sources and commands; Fluxly only adds fit, limitations, and quality judgment.

} 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.

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_ltis 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.

Route B: FILL
Fill form fields in an existing PDF without altering layout or design.
# Step 1: inspect
python3 scripts/fill_inspect.py --input form.pdf
# Step 2: fill
python3 scripts/fill_write.py --input form.pdf --out filled.pdf \
--values '{"FirstName": "Jane", "Agree": "true", "Country": "US"}'
| Field type | Value format |
|---|---|
text |
Any string |
checkbox |
"true" or "false" |
dropdown |
Must match a choice value from inspect output |
radio |
Must match a radio value (often starts with /) |
Always run fill_inspect.py first to get exact field names.
Route C: REFORMAT
Parse an existing document → content.json → CREATE pipeline.
bash scripts/make.sh reformat \
--input source.md --title "My Report" --type report --out output.pdf
Supported input formats: .md .txt .pdf .json
Environment
bash scripts/make.sh check # verify all deps
bash scripts/make.sh fix # auto-install missing deps
bash scripts/make.sh demo # build a sample PDF
