Using Document Designer
Overview
This skill routes you to professional document design capabilities using Pandoc and Typst. Use it when the task requires more than content — when the document needs to look professional, with intentional typography, layout, and visual hierarchy.
Core Principle: Documents are communication artifacts. Content determines what you say; design determines whether anyone reads it.
When to Use
Load this skill when:
- Creating PDF reports, proposals, whitepapers, or specifications
- Designing Typst templates for repeatable document production
- Converting Markdown/DOCX to professionally formatted PDF
- Building branded document systems (letterheads, report templates, slide decks)
- User mentions: "PDF", "Typst", "Pandoc", "template", "format", "layout", "typography"
- Any task where default formatting isn't good enough
Don't use for: Plain text content writing (use muna-technical-writer), web page design (use lyra-ux-designer), or data visualization.
