Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 | $0.00718 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00015 | $0.00287 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00144 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00072 |
Grade A, and why
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 1mo 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 — 71 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
When the user asks to convert a markdown file to PDF, follow these steps exactly:
Step 1 — Confirm the input file
Ask the user for the path to the .md file if not already provided. Confirm the output PDF path (default: same folder, same name, .pdf extension).
Step 2 — Convert markdown to styled HTML
Run this command (replace INPUT and OUTPUT paths):
pandoc "INPUT.md" \
-o "OUTPUT.html" \
--standalone \
--metadata title="Document" \
--css=/dev/stdin <<'EOF'
body { font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif; max-width: 800px; margin: 40px auto; padding: 0 40px; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.7; color: #1a1a1a; }
h1 { font-size: 26px; font-weight: 700; margin-bottom: 4px; }
h2 { font-size: 16px; font-weight: 700; margin-top: 32px; border-bottom: 1px solid #e0e0e0; padding-bottom: 6px; }
strong { font-weight: 600; }
table { width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; margin: 16px 0; font-size: 12px; }
th { background: #f5f5f5; padding: 8px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #ddd; }
td { padding: 8px; border: 1px solid #ddd; }
hr { border: none; border-top: 1px solid #e0e0e0; margin: 24px 0; }
ul, ol { padding-left: 20px; }
li { margin-bottom: 6px; }
EOF
Step 3 — Print HTML to PDF using Chrome
"/Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome" \
--headless \
--disable-gpu \
--no-sandbox \
--print-to-pdf="OUTPUT.pdf" \
--print-to-pdf-no-header \
--no-pdf-header-footer \
"file://OUTPUT.html"
Note: encode spaces in the file path as %20 in the file:// URL.
Step 4 — Clean up and confirm
Delete the intermediate HTML file:
rm "OUTPUT.html"
Tell the user the PDF is ready and give them the full path.
Requirements
pandocmust be installed (which pandocto check)- Google Chrome must be at
/Applications/Google Chrome.app/(standard Mac install) - Works on macOS only in this configuration
Error handling
- If
pandocis not found: tell the user to runbrew install pandoc - If Chrome is not at the expected path: check with
ls /Applications/ | grep -i chromeand adjust the path - If the PDF is 0 bytes: the
file://URL likely has unencoded spaces — encode them as%20
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.

md-to-pdf is a skill published in the GitHub repository hamzafarooq/claude-code-starter (145 stars, last pushed 7d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 37 tokens to every session and 718 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
