File contents

pdf-report

Generates a branded PDF via the local StratcoreReport generator at ~/Documents/CodeProjects/StratcoreReport-html/. Output is the dark, screen-first Stratcore theme (brand source: the "Stratcore Design System" folder in the Obsidian vault).

The original version of this skill drove a digital-marketing-pro plugin (pdf-generator.py, ~/.claude-marketing/) that is not installed. That machinery is gone; this skill now assembles a JSON payload and runs the local Node generator.

Process

Confirm scope with the user (ask only for what's missing):
- Report type: executive-summary, campaign-report, channel-report, competitor-report, monthly-review, quarterly-review.
- What data / metrics / period to cover, and the audience (c-suite, team, client).
- Whether it's confidential.
Gather the data. Pull from whatever source applies (Postgres via the vault's PostgreSQL-login.md conventions, n8n, analytics, files the user provides). Do not fabricate figures — flag gaps instead.
Build the payload. Write a *.json file matching the schema in ~/Documents/CodeProjects/StratcoreReport-html/README.md (top-level meta + sections[]: h2/h3/p/list/kpis/table/note/image/html/pagebreak).
- Audience shaping: c-suite → 3–5 kpis + short narrative + a note-flagged recommendation list; team → full tables, test results, numbered actions; client → objectives recap, goal-vs-actual tables, next-period plan.
- Tables: use { "v": "...", "tone": "pos|neg|warn", "num": true } for conditional colour and right-aligned figures.
- Charts: render inline SVG into an html section (respect brand tokens — #008568 accent, #f5f6f5/#9a9fa0 text on #0a0a0b), or embed a PNG via image.
- Save the payload next to related work or in the generator's examples/.
Render:
```
cd ~/Documents/CodeProjects/StratcoreReport-html
node src/render.mjs <payload.json> [out.pdf]
```
Needs network on first run (Google Fonts). If Chrome isn't at the default macOS path, set CHROME_PATH.
Review before delivering. Convert pages to PNG and inspect (pdftoppm -png -r 90 out/<name>.pdf /tmp/p), or re-run with --html and open the file. Check for overflowing tables, wrapped KPI values, and empty trailing pages. Offer the user adjustments (sections, emphasis, metrics) and re-render.
Report the payload path and the final PDF path.

Notes

The generator is a git repo; committing/pushing report outputs is usually unwanted (out/ and .build/ are gitignored). Commit payloads only if the user wants them kept.
To change the look, edit src/report.css in the generator, not this skill.
