## Key prompts

### PDF generation

- "Convert `skills/hr-recruiting/SKILL.md` into a single-column PDF with headers and footers."
- "Generate a PDF for the entire `skills/hr-ai/` package, including `SKILL.md`, `content/`, `prompts/`, and `examples/`."

- "Export `skills/hr-ai/examples/hiring-a-senior-ai-engineer.md` to PDF with syntax-highlighted code blocks."

### Validation

- "Verify that the generated PDF contains all expected headings and no missing images."
- "Run basic accessibility checks on the generated PDF."
- "Compare extracted PDF text against the source Markdown."
- "Validate that all internal links and references render correctly."

### Templates and styling

- "Recommend print styles for Markdown tables, callouts, and code blocks."
- "Suggest typography and page layout suitable for both screen viewing and printing."
- "Create a reusable PDF template for repository documentation."

## Tips

- Prefer reproducible PDF generation across local development and CI.
- Keep templates simple to minimize rendering differences between engines.
- Preserve Markdown structure, heading hierarchy, tables, and fenced code blocks.
- Generate PDFs directly from repository sources rather than maintaining separate printable copies.
- Embed document metadata to improve indexing and document management.
