Generate Doc Template

Generates a branded, print- or screen-ready document template as SVG from the active brand profile, with editable content zones.

Overview

The generate-doc-template skill turns a title (and optional subtitle and body) into a branded document or deck master. Output is vector SVG, so it scales cleanly, prints crisply, and needs no account, key, or network call. The generator (lib/doctpl.mjs) draws a shared margin grid, brand mark, and accent rules, then fills the requested kind; the skill resolves the active profile, picks the kind, runs the generator, and saves the file. Convert to PDF or PNG downstream with /brand-export.

Prerequisites

• An active brand profile created with /brand-new (a brand/ directory, or brands/[slug]/). Read loads its color-system.json and typography.json.
• Node.js on the PATH — the generator runs as node lib/doctpl.mjs.
• Write access to an output/ directory in the working repository.
• A title string; subtitle and body are optional parameters.

Instructions

1. Run /brand-status to confirm the active brand; if none exists, tell the user to run /brand-new and stop.

2. Use Glob to locate the active brand directory, then Read and validate the profile with validateProfile. Stop with the offending field if validation fails.

3. Choose the kind — letterhead (default), slide, or one-pager. Ask the user when it is unclear.

4. Generate the template by running the node generator:

   import { loadProfile } from '../../lib/brand.mjs';
   import { buildDoc } from '../../lib/doctpl.mjs';
   const profile = loadProfile(activeDir);
   const { svg, kind } = buildDoc(profile, {
     kind: 'letterhead',
     title: 'Offer of Employment',
     body: 'Dear candidate, we are delighted to extend an offer.',
   });
   

5. Write the result with the Write tool to output/[slug]-[kind].svg.

6. Hand the file to the visual-guardian subagent for a palette, contrast, and type pass; apply its fixes or surface its flags.

7. Report the saved path and point out the editable zones so the user can customize or adapt the copy: id="title", id="subtitle", and id="body".
