install-pandoc

Configuration

Read .jobops/config.json. If not found, stop with:

JOBOPS NOT CONFIGURED Run /jobops:setup to initialize your workspace.

Use config.directories for all file paths in this skill. Use config.templates.active to resolve template locations — for each template needed, read from: {config.templates.base_dir}/{active_value}/{filename}

I'll install pandoc, the universal document converter required for document conversion functionality.

Arguments:

• $1: force (optional) - Forces reinstallation even if pandoc is already installed

Step 1: System Detection and Current Status

First, let me check your current system and pandoc installation status:

echo "System Information:"
uname -a
echo ""
echo "Checking for existing pandoc installation:"
which pandoc && pandoc --version || echo "Pandoc not found"

Step 2: Platform-Specific Installation

Based on your system, I'll use the appropriate installation method:

Linux (Ubuntu/Debian)

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y pandoc

Linux (CentOS/RHEL/Fedora)

# For DNF-based systems (Fedora, newer RHEL/CentOS)
sudo dnf install -y pandoc

# For YUM-based systems (older RHEL/CentOS)
sudo yum install -y pandoc

macOS

# Using Homebrew (recommended)
brew install pandoc

# Alternative: MacPorts
# sudo port install pandoc

Windows (WSL/Git Bash)

# Using Chocolatey
choco install pandoc

# Using Scoop
# scoop install pandoc

Step 3: Installation Verification

After installation, I'll verify pandoc is working correctly:

echo "Verifying pandoc installation:"
pandoc --version
echo ""
echo "Testing basic conversion functionality:"
echo "# Test Document" | pandoc -f markdown -t html

Step 4: Feature Testing

I'll test pandoc's ability to handle the specific conversions we need:

echo "Testing Word document conversion capability:"
echo -e "# Test Resume\n\n**Experience**\n- Achievement 1\n- Achievement 2" | pandoc -f markdown -t docx -o test_conversion.docx
ls -la test_conversion.docx 2>/dev/null && echo "DOCX conversion successful" || echo "DOCX conversion failed"
rm -f test_conversion.docx
