brain-pdf — Render a Brain Page to Publication-Quality PDF
Convention: see conventions/quality.md for output rules. The PDF is a rendering — never the primary artifact. If a PDF exists, the source brain page exists behind it.
The rule
The brain page is ALWAYS the source of truth. The PDF is a rendering of it, never a standalone artifact. If a PDF exists somewhere, the brain page must exist behind it.
What this does
Renders a brain page (markdown with frontmatter) into a
publication-quality PDF using the gstack make-pdf binary. Output is
suitable for:
- Sharing a personalized book mirror via email or Telegram
- Delivering a strategic-reading playbook as a clean read
- Producing a briefing or report with running headers and page numbers
- Archiving a long-form essay in a portable format
Prerequisite: gstack make-pdf
This skill depends on the gstack make-pdf binary at:
$HOME/.claude/skills/gstack/make-pdf/dist/pdf
The user must have gstack co-installed. If absent, the skill cannot run. A future v0.26+ may bundle a fallback PDF renderer; for v0.25.1 gstack is a soft prereq.
Verify it exists before invoking:
