Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
This skill uses the pandoc command-line utility to convert documents between numerous markup formats.
The fundamental structure of a pandoc command is: pandoc [options] [input-file]โฆ
To convert a Markdown file to HTML: pandoc -o output.html input.md
While pandoc can infer formats from file extensions, you can be explicit with the -f (from) and -t (to) flags. # Convert HTML to Markdown pandoc -f html -t markdown input.html
To create a complete document with a proper header and footer (e.g., a full HTML file), use the -s or --standalone flag. pandoc -s -o output.html input.md
The following examples are extracted from the official Pandoc User's Guide.
To create a PDF, pandoc typically uses a LaTeX engine. Ensure one is installed. # Basic PDF creation pandoc input.md -o output.pdf # Control PDF engine and style via variables pandoc input.md -o output.pdf --pdf-engine=xelatex -V geometry:margin=1in -V fontsize=12pt
Pandoc can automatically generate a table of contents and use document metadata. # Create a document with a Table of Contents (up to level 3 headings) pandoc --toc --toc-depth=3 -o output.docx input.md # Set metadata fields from the command line pandoc -M title:"My Report" -M author:"Galactus" -o output.pdf input.md
You can control the final output's structure and style with templates and other options. # Use a custom template for HTML output pandoc -s --template=my-template.html -o output.html input.md # For HTML output, link to a custom CSS file pandoc -s --css=styles.css -o output.html input.md # For DOCX output, use a reference document for styling pandoc --reference-doc=reference.docx -o output.docx input.md
Pandoc can directly fetch and convert content from a URL. pandoc -f html -t markdown https://www.fsf.org
# Preserve tabs instead of converting them to spaces pandoc --preserve-tabs ... # Control line wrapping in the output source code pandoc --wrap=none ... # Shift heading levels (e.g., make all H1s into H2s, H2s into H3s) pandoc --shift-heading-level-by=1 ... This enhanced documentation provides a more robust foundation for using pandoc.
