Based on SOC occupation classification
Orchestrates a professional reporting workflow by combining design system intelligence with high-fidelity PDF generation.
Use this skill when visual quality and design identity matter for a PDF. CREATE (generate from scratch): "make a PDF", "generate a report", "write a proposal", "create a resume", "beautiful PDF", "professional document", "cover page", "polished PDF", "client-ready document". FILL (complete form fields): "fill in the form", "fill out this PDF", "complete the form fields", "write values into PDF", "what fields does this PDF have". REFORMAT (apply design to an existing doc): "reformat this document", "apply our style", "convert this Markdown/text to PDF", "make this doc look good", "re-style this PDF". This skill uses a token-based design system: color, typography, and spacing are derived from the document type and flow through every page. The output is print-ready. Prefer this skill when appearance matters, not just when any PDF output is needed.
Specialized in creating high-converting instructional videos and software tutorials using structured scripts and automated production.
Design intelligence for marketing UI/UX with custom design system generation.
Create stunning, animation-rich HTML presentations from scratch or by converting PowerPoint files. Use when the user wants to build a presentation, convert a PPT/PPTX to web, or create slides for a talk/pitch. Helps non-designers discover their aesthetic through visual exploration rather than abstract choices.
