Frequently asked

What output formats does this skill support?
This skill converts markdown to PDF only. It does not generate other formats like HTML or DOCX.
Does this skill add features like table of contents or cover pages?
Yes. The skill supports optional flags for cover pages, table of contents, page numbers, running headers, and diagonal watermarks via the `--cover`, `--toc`, and `--watermark` flags.
What happens if the make-pdf binary is not available?
The skill will report `MAKE_PDF_NOT_AVAILABLE` and instruct you to run `./setup` in the gstack repo to build the binary before retrying.
Can I preview the PDF before generating the final output?
Yes. The skill includes a `$P preview <input.md>` command that renders HTML and opens it in your browser for fast iteration.
Does this skill work in plan mode?
Yes. The skill follows plan mode safe operations and treats the skill file as executable instructions; AskUserQuestion calls satisfy plan mode's end-of-turn requirement.
