A guide for creating and compiling Typst documents. Typst is a markup-based document system that turns plain-text source files into PDFs, images, or HTML.

Use it when editing `.typ` files, building document templates or packages, or converting Markdown or LaTeX content to Typst.

It provides commands and checks for producing documents and reviewing both their content and visual layout. This helps find missing text, spacing problems, and alignment issues.

typst — Skill for Claude Code and Codex by lucifer1004

Install

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.

Any agent

npx skills add lucifer1004/claude-skill-typst --skill typst

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/lucifer1004/claude-skill-typst

Made for: Claude Code, Codex.

SkillSpector: 2 findings, up to high

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

high System Prompt Leakage · line 96
Skill contains instructions that could directly expose system prompts, internal rules, or hidden instructions to users or external parties.

Fix: Remove any instructions that reveal, print, or output system prompts or internal rules. System instructions should never be exposed to end users.

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	$0.00071	$0.01783
Opus 5.5	$0.00028	$0.00713
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00014	$0.00357
Haiku 4.5	$0.00007	$0.00178

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 1mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 4 executable files (scripts/perf-timings.py, scripts/search-api.py, scripts/search-packages.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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 137 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Typst

This skill targets Typst 0.15+. For Typst 0.14.2, use the typst-0.14.2 repository tag for the previous skill snapshot.

Compilation

typst compile document.typ              # compile once → PDF
typst compile document.typ output.pdf   # explicit output path
typst compile document.typ -f png       # export as PNG image
typst compile src/main.typ --root .     # set project root for /path imports
typst watch document.typ                # recompile on change
typst eval --in document.typ 'query(heading).len()'  # Typst 0.15+ introspection

For command options beyond this quick reference, see cli.md.

Agent verification — choose by what you need to check (see debug.md for details):

Method	Command	Best for
HTML export	`typst compile doc.typ /dev/stdout -f html --features html 2>/dev/null`	Text content, structure, headings, tables
PNG export	`typst compile doc.typ page-{p}.png -f png`	Visual layout, alignment, spacing, fonts
pdftotext	`typst compile doc.typ && pdftotext doc.pdf -`	Fallback for page-specific content

Minimal Document

#set page(paper: "a4", margin: 2cm)
#set text(size: 11pt)

= Title

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.
