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

markdown-to-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 1mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/markdown_to_pdf.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.

What it actually says

Markdown to PDF Converter

Converts a markdown file to a professionally formatted PDF. Pure Python — no system tools required.

Dependencies

Requires two Python packages (already in pyproject.toml):

mistune>=3.2
reportlab>=4.0

Install with: uv sync (or pip install mistune reportlab)

Instructions

uv run python .claude/skills/markdown-to-pdf/scripts/markdown_to_pdf.py <input.md> [output.pdf]
  • input.md — path to the markdown file (required)
  • output.pdf — output path (optional; defaults to same directory and basename as input)

Output

The script returns JSON with:

  • success — true or false
  • input — resolved absolute path of the input file
  • output — resolved absolute path of the generated PDF
  • error — error message if success is false
  • generated_at — NY timezone timestamp
  • data_delay — always "real-time"

After conversion, tell the user the output PDF path.

Examples

# Convert sandbox/report.md → sandbox/report.pdf (default output)
uv run python .claude/skills/markdown-to-pdf/scripts/markdown_to_pdf.py sandbox/report.md

# Explicit output path
uv run python .claude/skills/markdown-to-pdf/scripts/markdown_to_pdf.py sandbox/report.md sandbox/AAPL_Report_2026-05-20_1430.pdf

Supported Markdown

  • Headings (H1–H3)
  • Paragraphs, bold, italic
  • Tables (pipe syntax)
  • Fenced code blocks
  • Unordered and ordered lists
Files

What ships with it

1 file 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.
