A reference guide for creating and debugging Typst files, including syntax, packages, document layouts, presentations, images, diagrams, and charts.

It helps write Typst documents, reports, study guides, and presentations, including choosing tools for diagrams and charts and compiling files correctly.

It provides project conventions and solutions for common Typst errors, making document work more consistent.

Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00044	$0.02745
Opus 5	$0.00022	$0.01373
Sonnet 5	$0.00009	$0.00549
Haiku 4.5	$0.00004	$0.00275

Measured 9d ago against content hash dc7bc77bac3b, method: parsed. Prices are Anthropic first-party input rates as of 2026-09-09, from the pricing page.

Security

Grade A, and why

typst scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 227 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Typst Skill

Current version: Typst 0.14.2 (Dec 2025)

Smart Defaults

If you know nothing else, follow these rules:

Always import @local/qk:2.1.0 — #import "@local/qk:2.1.0": *
Always use qk-doc or qk-report preset (unless user specifies custom)
Always use touying for presentations (not raw page dimensions) — see references/touying-guide.md
Always #set figure(placement: auto) — prevents blank half-pages
Always add alt: to images — image("path.png", alt: "description")
Always escape $ in content — scan for bare $ before compiling
Default fonts: Libertinus Serif (body), Inter (headings), New Computer Modern Math (math), Fira Code (code)
Default compile: typst compile --root .. Source/<file>.typ
When in doubt about template: Study Guide
When in doubt about visual tool: diagrams → fletcher; charts → see decision tree (simple → cetz-plot, statistical → matplotlib+seaborn, grammar → plotnine, complex → matplotlib)
Always scan project for existing .typ files and match their style (fonts, colors, qk preset) unless user specifies otherwise

New Document Decision Tree

User request → scan for keywords:
  "resume/CV/job"           → CV / Résumé template
  "slides/presentation"     → Presentation (touying — metropolis default)
  "lecture/class/academic"   → Academic Lecture (touying — university theme)
  "essay/thesis/paper"      → Essay
  "report/brief/client"     → Business Report
  "research/analysis"       → Research Report
  "study guide/revision"    → Study Guide
  "reference/glossary"                      → Annotated Reference
  "cheatsheet/reference card/formula sheet" → Cheatsheet template
  "exam/problem set/homework"              → Exam template
  "flashcard/Q&A/quiz"                     → Flashcard template
  ambiguous?                → ask purpose + audience → pick template

Steps:

Auto-detect template from keywords above
Import @local/qk:2.1.0 at top
Use qk-doc or qk-report preset when applicable
Auto-select template. State choice in Phase 3 summary. User can re-invoke with explicit type override if wrong.
Build from references/templates.md
Custom styles are fine — templates are starting points, not constraints

What ships with it

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
