name	generate-action-list
description	Generate a printable / portable action list as CSV and optionally PDF — throw-out lists, donation pickup lists, resale queues, insurance schedules, or box labels. Pulls from analysis/* reports already produced by the other skills, and renders via Typst (preferred) or pandoc fallback. The user walks through the house with the printout and ticks items off.

Generate action list

When to invoke

The user wants something printable they can carry around — "give me a CSV/PDF of stuff to throw out", "print the donation pickup list", "I need an insurance schedule for the policy", "print box labels".

Modes

Mode	Source	Use case
discard	analysis/discards.md	Walk the house, gather throw-out items
donation	analysis/donation-targets.md	Group by recipient org, bag and ship
resale	analysis/resale-targets.md	Sale queue sorted by payoff/hour
insurance	analysis/insurance-schedule.md	Itemized contents schedule for the policy
box-labels	box-maps/*.md	One label per box, taped to the box
box-manifest	box-maps/<label>.md	Full per-box contents printout

Pipeline

1. Determine mode — from the user's request or the most-recently-modified file in analysis/.
2. Build the CSV first at <workspace>/outputs/<mode>-<YYYY-MM-DD>.csv. Columns vary per mode (see each contributing skill for its CSV columns). Always include a leading done column (empty checkbox for the user to tick).
3. Offer PDF rendering — ask before rendering; not every user wants a PDF. If yes:
   • Prefer Typst if installed (which typst). Generate a .typ source with a clean table layout: A4, portrait by default (landscape for wide schedules), IBM Plex Sans, header with mode + workspace household name + date, footer with page numbers.
   • Fallback to pandoc → PDF if Typst is unavailable.
   • Output: <workspace>/outputs/<mode>-<YYYY-MM-DD>.pdf.

Layout per mode

• Discard — checkbox, item, location/box, reason. Group by location so the user clears one room at a time.
• Donation — checkbox, item, condition, recipient organization. Group by recipient.
• Resale — checkbox, item, condition, est_sale_value, platform, listed?, sold? Sorted by payoff/hour.
• Insurance — line number, item, category, condition, est_value, currency, value_source. Sorted by value desc. Total at end. No checkbox column — this is a record, not a worklist.
• Box labels — one box per page, large box label, contents bullet list, "if found, contact " footer if user wants.
• Box manifest — table per box; one PDF per box label or one combined PDF.

After rendering

• Print path(s) to chat.
• Offer xdg-open to view immediately.
• If the user has the repo-to-content plugin / gws-personal MCP, offer to upload the PDF to Drive.

Don't re-derive analysis

If the source analysis/ file doesn't exist, tell the user which skill to run first (suggest-discards, identify-donation-targets, etc.) — don't try to re-generate the analysis here.
