Fetch secrets and create/manage 1Password items via CLI. Use when needing API keys, tokens, or credentials, or storing new secrets. Ask for the op://Vault/Item/field reference, not the secret itself.
Rigorous code review of completed implementation before committing. Use for features, refactors, and critical-path changes — not trivial changes (this is expensive).
Assess and improve codebase architecture via layered analysis and guided restructuring. Triggers on architecture review, structural assessment, design patterns, modularity, coupling, framework alignment.

Include in your markdown:
```mermaid
graph TD
A[Start] --> B{Decision}
B -->|Yes| C[Do something]
B -->|No| D[Do something else]
```
The diagram will render as a graphic in the PDF.
If the user wants to print the PDF, use the /print skill after generating.
Workflow decision:
| User intent | Action |
|---|---|
| "Convert to PDF" | Keep the PDF |
| "Print this markdown" | Generate PDF → print with /print → delete PDF |
| "Create a PDF and print it" | Keep the PDF, also print |
When printing is the goal (not the PDF itself), delete the PDF after printing:
# Generate, print, cleanup
~/.claude/skills/md-to-pdf/scripts/md-to-pdf.cjs doc.md
~/.claude/skills/print/scripts/print doc.pdf
rm doc.pdf
The /print skill handles double-sided and b&w defaults automatically.
Add to your shell profile:
alias md-to-pdf='~/.claude/skills/md-to-pdf/scripts/md-to-pdf.cjs'
