What is convert-md-to-pdf?

A converter that turns Markdown files into styled PDF documents and can render Mermaid diagrams, which are text-based diagrams. It offers several document styles.

Export technical documentation, reports, and other Markdown files as PDFs, including files with Mermaid flowcharts or diagrams.

It removes the need to reformat Markdown by hand when you need a printable or shareable PDF.

Per session 37 Skills are progressive disclosure: only the name and description are preloaded; the body loads when the skill is used.

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	$0.00037	$0.00400
Opus 5	$0.00018	$0.00200
Sonnet 5	$0.00007	$0.00080
Haiku 4.5	$0.00004	$0.00040

Measured 11d ago against content hash 6d9c866a4c38, method: parsed. Prices are Anthropic first-party input rates as of 2026-09-11, from the pricing page.

Security

Grade A, and why

convert-md-to-pdf 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 11d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/converter.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

What it actually says

Convert Markdown to PDF

Convert markdown files to professionally styled PDFs with Mermaid diagram support.

Usage

python ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/convert-md-to-pdf/scripts/converter.py <input.md> [output.pdf] [--style=STYLE]

Note: The converter.py script automatically handles TMPDIR overrides to avoid /tmp/claude permission issues.

Available Styles

Check ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/convert-md-to-pdf/styles/ for options:

default - Clean sans-serif, professional
modern - Bold headers, accent colors
minimal - Serif font, whitespace
report - Formal corporate style

First Run

Install dependencies via install-dependency skill:

Python packages: Use install-dependency to install from ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/convert-md-to-pdf/requirements.txt
Mermaid CLI: Use install-dependency for @mermaid-js/mermaid-cli

Note: The install-dependency skill automatically sets up local TMPDIR to avoid permission conflicts.

Linux setup (Ubuntu 23.10+ or AppArmor systems):

Create puppeteer-config.json in your project root:

{
  "args": ["--no-sandbox", "--disable-setuid-sandbox"]
}

This allows Puppeteer (used by Mermaid) to launch Chrome for diagram rendering.

Adding Styles

Create .css file in ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/convert-md-to-pdf/styles/ directory.

Files

What ships with it

7 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
