PragDev PDF Generator

Generate professional PDF documents from structured JSON data. Use when user wants to create, export, or save content as a PDF file. Supports styled titles,...

Security Scan

The skill's code and runtime instructions match its stated purpose (generating PDFs from JSON); it doesn't request credentials or perform network activity, though it relies on the ReportLab package which is not declared in an install spec.

Purpose & Capability

The name/description (PDF generation from JSON) align with the included script and schema. The script uses ReportLab to render titles, lists, tables, images, and page breaks as described; required capabilities (reading JSON, reading image files, writing PDF) are proportionate to the stated purpose.

Instruction Scope

SKILL.md instructs the agent to run the provided Python script with JSON input and to produce a PDF. The runtime instructions and script only read the supplied JSON and any image files referenced therein and write the output PDF. There are no instructions to access unrelated system state, external endpoints, or credentials. Note: the script will read any file path given (JSON or image paths) so user-supplied paths could expose local files if those paths point to sensitive data — this is expected behavior for a file-based generator.

Install Mechanism

No install spec is provided (instruction-only plus a code file), which is low-risk from an installation perspective. However, the script imports reportlab but does not declare or install that dependency; the environment must already have ReportLab installed (pip install reportlab) or the script will fail. This is a usability/packaging omission rather than a security mismatch.

Credentials

The skill declares no environment variables, credentials, or config paths and the code does not read environment variables or secrets. Required access is limited to reading JSON and image files provided by the user and writing the resulting PDF, which is proportionate to the task.

Persistence & Privilege

The skill is not always-enabled and does not request elevated privileges or attempt to modify other skills or global agent configuration. It only runs the included script when invoked.

Assessment

This skill appears to do what it says: generate PDFs from JSON using the included Python script. Before using it: (1) ensure ReportLab is installed in the environment (pip install reportlab) or the script will fail; (2) only pass JSON files and image paths you trust — the script will read any file path you give it, so do not point it at sensitive system files; (3) review the included generate_pdf.py if you have concerns (it is short and contains no network calls or subprocess execution); and (4) because the skill source/homepage is unknown, prefer running it in an isolated environment or container if you plan to process untrusted input.

PDF Generator

Generate styled PDF documents from structured JSON data using ReportLab.

Quick Start

python scripts/generate_pdf.py --output report.pdf --data '{
  "title": "Monthly Report",
  "subtitle": "March 2026",
  "author": "PragDev",
  "sections": [
    {"type": "text", "text": "Introduction text here."},
    {"type": "highlight", "text": "Key metric: +15%"},
    {"type": "list", "items": ["Item 1", "Item 2"]}
  ]
}'

JSON Schema Reference

See references/schema.md for complete schema documentation.

Output

• PDF saved to path specified by --output or data.output
• Default: output.pdf in current directory

Tips

• Use accent_color and header_color for brand colors
• Tables auto-alternate row backgrounds
• Images must exist at the specified path
• Page breaks create new pages
