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

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 22d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (convert.sh, tests/smoke.sh, tests/test_md_to_pdf_fallback.sh), 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 — 265 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Writing: read docs/skills/shared/writing-rule.md before you write a durable artifact.

/pdf — Export Any Doc to PDF

Convert a framework-generated document (markdown, HTML, BPMN) to PDF for sharing with non-technical stakeholders, board members, customers, or auditors.

Sits alongside /c4 (Mermaid markdown), /dfd (Mermaid markdown), /tech-vision (markdown), /write-spec (PRD markdown), /journey (self-contained HTML), /process (BPMN XML), and the audit family (/threat-model, /launch-check, etc., all of which write dated markdown audits). Those skills emit a single source-of-truth artefact in its native format; /pdf is the dedicated bridge to PDF for the moments when prose isn't enough.

The destination question

A PDF can land in one of two places, and the answer depends on whether the doc should travel with the code if the project spun out tomorrow. This mirrors the existing rule in docs/multi-project.md:

If YES (travels with the code) If NO (ApexYard's view)
Project's own repo: workspace/<name>/docs/ Ops fork: projects/<name>/pdfs/
Examples: API spec, deployment runbook, internal sequence Examples: handover assessment, stakeholder update, launch-check verdict

The skill asks, doesn't guess. The 4-option prompt below covers every common case.

Files

What ships with it

3 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.
