Multi-Format Translation Workflow
Translate documents between supported formats.
CRITICAL: The source file is the SINGLE SOURCE OF TRUTH.
Supported Translations
| From | To | Method |
|---|
.typ (Typst) | .qmd (Quarto) | Component mapping |
.qmd (Quarto) | .typ (Typst) | CSS classes to components |
Note: For Beamer (.tex) translations, configure at project level.
Projects with Beamer support should have their own translate skill
with environment mapping tables.
Format Detection
Parse $ARGUMENTS:
- First argument: source file path
- Second argument (optional): target format (
.qmd, .typ)
- If no target specified, infer from project context
Typst → Quarto
Component Mapping
| Typst (qk) | Quarto CSS |
|---|
#keypoint[...] | ::: {.keybox}\n...\n::: |
#insight[...] | ::: {.highlightbox}\n...\n::: |
#tip[...] | ::: {.methodbox}\n...\n::: |
#note[...] | ::: {.softbox}\n...\n::: |
#warning[...] | ::: {.keybox}\n**Warning:** ...\n::: |
#trap[...] | ::: {.keybox}\n**Common mistake:** ...\n::: |
Citation Mapping
@key → @key (same in Quarto)
Math Mapping
$...$ (Typst inline) → $...$ (Quarto inline)
$ ... $ (Typst display) → $$...$$ (Quarto display)
Quarto → Typst
Component Mapping
| Quarto CSS | Typst (qk) |
|---|
::: {.keybox} | #keypoint[...] |
::: {.highlightbox} | #insight[...] |
::: {.methodbox} | #tip[...] |
::: {.resultbox} | #keypoint[...] |
::: {.quotebox} | #quote(attribution: "...")[...] |
::: {.softbox} | #note[...] |
Math Mapping
$...$ → $...$
$$...$$ → $ ... $ (display)
Quality Standards (All Translations)
- Content parity — every idea from source must appear in target
- Environment parity — every box/callout must use the corresponding target element
- Notation consistency — same symbols as source
- No content loss — never summarize or condense
- All citations verified — every reference resolves
- All images referenced — every figure path valid
- Compile successfully — target must build without errors
Post-Translation
Run /qa on the translated file to verify quality.
