Edit PDFs with natural-language instructions using the nano-pdf CLI.
Install with Codex or Claude Copy this prompt, paste it into Codex, Claude, or another assistant, and let it review the skill page and install it for you.
Based on SOC occupation classification
Author HTML compositions that the `render_video` tool turns into deterministic MP4 video — animated charts and dashboards, data explainers, text/quote cards, kinetic typography, product teasers, and branded short-form social clips. Use when the user asks Brigade to make, render, animate, or produce a video from data, text, or a layout (NOT photoreal/AI footage — that's `generate_video`).
Create and edit Microsoft Word (.docx) documents to a professional standard — reports, proposals, contracts, letters, memos — with custom styles, multi-level lists, styled/merged tables, headers/footers, table of contents, hyperlinks, footnotes, tracked changes and comments. Use when the user asks Brigade to make, write, draft, fill, redline, or edit a Word document or .docx file.
Create and edit PDFs to a professional standard — generate from content, draw vector/precise layouts, embed custom (incl. CJK/Unicode) fonts, CREATE and fill AcroForm fields (text/checkbox/radio/dropdown), flatten, merge/split/rotate, stamp/watermark, encrypt, and extract text. Use when the user asks Brigade to make a PDF, fill or build a PDF form, or combine/split/stamp/secure PDFs.
Build and edit professional Excel (.xlsx) spreadsheets, workbooks, and simple financial models — live formulas, number/date/currency formats, cell styling, conditional formatting, data-validation dropdowns, named ranges, frozen panes, merged cells, multi-sheet. Use when the user asks Brigade to make, fill, update, model, or edit a spreadsheet, workbook, or .xlsx file.
Delegate coding tasks to Codex, Claude Code, or Pi agents via background process. Use when: (1) building/creating new features or apps, (2) reviewing PRs (spawn in temp dir), (3) refactoring large codebases, (4) iterative coding that needs file exploration. NOT for: simple one-liner fixes (just edit), reading code (use read tool), thread-bound ACP harness requests in chat (for example spawn/run Codex or Claude Code in a Discord thread; use sessions_spawn with runtime:"acp"), or any work in ~/brigade workspace (never spawn agents here). Claude Code: use --print --permission-mode bypassPermissions (no PTY). Codex/Pi/OpenCode: pty:true required.
How to find and VERIFY business leads (any niche, any city) — especially "businesses without a website" prospecting. Decides "no website" by SEARCHING the business name, not by a map button. Use whenever the user asks to find businesses, shops, vendors, professionals, or sales leads in a location. No API key needed — web_search + the browser do everything.
