document-gen-resilient

document-gen-resilient is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from HKUDS/OpenSpace. It costs 21 tokens per session (3,267 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for generating documents in several formats, including Word, PDF, and HTML, with checks for tools and handling of non-English characters.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create documents from Markdown, check available conversion tools, prepare text safely, try alternate formats, and confirm that the generated files work.
Why use it?
It provides fallback methods when conversion tools are missing or when special characters cause the output to fail.

About the project

OpenSpace is a skill-management layer for AI agents that stores, retrieves, evaluates, shares, and improves reusable workflows. It is intended for people using multiple coding agents who want skills to be reused and refined based on task outcomes. The catalogue provides 200 skills for use with OpenSpace and the agents it supports.

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

document-gen-resilient 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 10d 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.

Resilient Document Generation Workflow

When to Use

Use this skill when document generation tasks encounter errors or when you need reliable multi-format output:

  • shell_agent returns unknown or unclear errors on document generation
  • Generating documents in multiple formats (e.g., .docx, .pdf, .html)
  • PDF generation fails due to LaTeX encoding or missing dependencies
  • You need to handle special characters, symbols, or non-ASCII text safely
  • Previous document generation attempts have failed

Core Technique

Instead of delegating the entire document generation to shell_agent, manually split the workflow into discrete, observable steps with built-in fallbacks:

  1. Tool availability check → Verify pandoc and PDF engines are available
  2. Content creation → Use write_file to create source document (Markdown)
  3. Unicode assessment → Determine if sanitization is needed based on target format
  4. Format conversion → Try primary method, fall back to alternatives on failure
  5. Verification → Check output files exist and are valid

⚠️ Format-Specific Unicode Guidance

Critical: Different formats handle Unicode differently. Plan accordingly:

Format Unicode Support Sanitization Needed? Recommended Engine
.docx Excellent No pandoc (default)
.html Excellent No pandoc (default)
.pdf (pdflatex) Limited Yes pandoc + sanitization
.pdf (xelatex) Good Rarely pandoc --pdf-engine=xelatex
.pdf (wkhtmltopdf) Good Rarely pandoc --pdf-engine=wkhtmltopdf
.pdf (Python) Excellent No fpdf2 or reportlab

Step-by-Step Workflow

Step 0: Check Tool Availability

Before starting, verify which tools are available:

run_shell
command: which pandoc && echo "PANDOC: OK" || echo "PANDOC: MISSING"
run_shell
command: which pdflatex && echo "PDFLATEX: OK" || echo "PDFLATEX: MISSING"

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.
