Markdown to PDF

Convert Markdown files to beautiful PDF documents. Supports custom styling, code highlighting, and multiple output options. Use when users need to convert MD...

Security Scan

The skill's code, instructions, and requirements are consistent with a Markdown→PDF converter and do not request unrelated credentials or install arbitrary remote code.

Purpose & Capability

Name/description describe converting Markdown to PDF. The code implements Markdown→HTML conversion, syntax highlighting, and calls wkhtmltopdf to create a PDF — exactly what the skill claims. Declared dependencies (markdown, pygments, wkhtmltopdf) match the implementation.

Instruction Scope

SKILL.md instructs installing pip packages and wkhtmltopdf and to run the included script. The runtime instructions do not read environment variables or unrelated system files. One operational detail to note: the script invokes wkhtmltopdf with --enable-local-file-access, which is necessary to embed local resources (images/CSS) but means wkhtmltopdf may read local files or fetch remote resources referenced by the generated HTML — this is expected for this functionality but worth being aware of.

Install Mechanism

No install spec is provided (instruction-only skill + included script). Dependencies are standard Python packages and a well-known external binary (wkhtmltopdf). The skill does not download or execute code from untrusted URLs or include an automated installer that writes arbitrary archives to disk.

Credentials

The skill requires no environment variables or credentials. The requested resources (Python libs and system wkhtmltopdf) are proportionate to the stated purpose.

Persistence & Privilege

always is false and the skill does not request persistent or elevated platform privileges. It does not modify other skills or agent-wide configuration.

Assessment

This skill appears to do exactly what it says: convert Markdown to PDF using the included Python script plus wkhtmltopdf. Before installing/use: (1) install wkhtmltopdf from an official package or distro repository (avoid unknown binaries), (2) be cautious when converting untrusted Markdown that references local file paths or remote URLs — wkhtmltopdf's --enable-local-file-access allows reading local files and fetching remote resources, which could expose sensitive local content if the Markdown includes file:// links or similar, and (3) run conversions in a sandbox or with limited file permissions if you expect untrusted input. Otherwise the skill is internally consistent and proportionate.

Overview

Convert Markdown text or files to professional-looking PDF documents. Uses markdown package to convert MD to HTML, then wkhtmltopdf to generate PDF. Supports code syntax highlighting and custom CSS styling.

Features

• Standalone output: Embeds all styles, no external dependencies
• Code highlighting: Automatic syntax highlighting for code blocks
• Custom CSS: Option to provide custom CSS for styling

Dependencies

pip install markdown pygments
# You also need wkhtmltopdf installed:
# macOS: brew install wkhtmltopdf
# Ubuntu/Debian: sudo apt install wkhtmltopdf
