Use this skill to create professional, pixel-accurate PDF documents (flyers, one-pagers, reports, brochures). Design each page as HTML/CSS (preview it as an Artifact to iterate visually with the user), then run the included Playwright + reportlab pipeline to convert the HTML into a real vector PDF — embedded selectable text, vector shapes/tables, and images at pixel-accurate positions — not a screenshot dump. Trigger on "make a PDF", "build a flyer", "create a one-pager", "PDF report", "brochure design".

# PDF Builder Two-stage workflow: **design in HTML** (fast to iterate, easy to preview), then **compile to a native PDF** (real embedded vector text and shapes, not an image). This skill targets **absolute-position, print-perfect layouts** — flyers, one-pagers, brochures, pitch-style reports — where every element sits at an exact pixel position on a fixed page size, the same way `pptx-builder` treats a slide. If what's actually wanted is a long, flowing multi-page document (a contract, a letter, a manual) where content should reflow naturally, use the `docx-builder` skill instead and export to PDF from there — that's a different authoring model (flowing paragraphs, not an absolute canvas), not just a different file extension. ## Stage 0 — Pick a style (palette + shape language) Before writing any page HTML, settle on a visual identity so every page in the document stays consistent instead of improvising colors/corners per page. 1. Publish `templates/style-gallery.html` as an **Artifact**. It shows 12 named presets (A–L), each pairing a color palette with a distinct shape language — sharp squares, softly rounded cards, pill badges, small circle accents tucked in the corners, decorative blobs, etc. Ask the user to pick a letter, or to describe a tweak to one (e.g. "D but with teal instead of gold"). 2. **If the user already has a brand or template to match** — an existing PDF, a brand guideline, a logo, or just a list of hex colors — skip the gallery a
