What it does

Markdown Paged Guide is an agent skill from BigStrongSun/ccswitchmulti. Render Markdown manuals into polished per-page PNG images and PDF deliverables. Use when Codex needs to create or update screenshot-heavy Chinese/English user guides, split long Markdown into fixed-size pages, control image scaling, or export a rendered guide folder plus PDF for product documentation.

Its SKILL.md is about 590 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/pngs_to_pdf.py`).

It sits in Documents & Office, covering Technical writing, Markdown and PDF. It works with OpenAI, DeepSeek, Qwen and Tauri. The repository describes itself as: CCswitch的全面升级,专门优化codex体验。支持官方订阅和第三方模型混用,自动路由,支持v2subagent使用第三方模型. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Codex needs to create
  • Update screenshot-heavy Chinese/English user guides
  • Split long Markdown into fixed-size pages
  • Control image scaling

Example prompts

  • “/markdown-paged-guide”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Add explicit page markers to the Markdown when page balance matters
  2. Put screenshots in stable repository paths and reference them with normal Markdown image syntax.
  3. Render PNG pages with scripts/render_paged_guide.cjs.
  4. Export the PNG folder to PDF with scripts/pngs_to_pdf.py.
  5. Inspect the most crowded pages visually before delivery.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b4741ad. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 2 files in scripts/ (Python and JavaScript), which the agent can run.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Markdown Paged Guide loads about 589 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 81 tokens; SKILL.md has 168 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~81
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~589

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Markdown Paged Guide

Use this skill to turn a Markdown manual into fixed-size rendered pages and a PDF.

Workflow

  1. Add explicit page markers to the Markdown when page balance matters:
markdown
<!-- guide-page: 00-overview.png | Overview -->

# Product Guide

...

<!-- guide-page: 01-setup.png | Setup -->

## Setup
  1. Put screenshots in stable repository paths and reference them with normal Markdown image syntax.
  2. Render PNG pages with scripts/render_paged_guide.cjs.
  3. Export the PNG folder to PDF with scripts/pngs_to_pdf.py.
  4. Inspect the most crowded pages visually before delivery.

Rendering

Run from the repository root:

powershell
$env:NODE_PATH='C:\Users\sunda\.cache\codex-runtimes\codex-primary-runtime\dependencies\node\node_modules'
& 'C:\Users\sunda\.cache\codex-runtimes\codex-primary-runtime\dependencies\node\bin\node.exe' `
  skills\markdown-paged-guide\scripts\render_paged_guide.cjs `
  --input docs\guides\example.md `
  --out-dir docs\images\example-guide\pages `
  --width 1440 `
  --height 2400 `
  --max-image-height 560

The renderer uses Microsoft Edge headless. It removes old PNG/HTML/manifest files in the output directory, writes one PNG per guide-page marker, and writes manifest.json.

PDF Export

powershell
& 'C:\Users\sunda\.cache\codex-runtimes\codex-primary-runtime\dependencies\python\python.exe' `
  skills\markdown-paged-guide\scripts\pngs_to_pdf.py `
  --pages-dir docs\images\example-guide\pages `
  --output output\pdf\example-guide.pdf

Page Layout Rules

  • Keep the first page for positioning, prerequisites, and safety notes.
  • Move long checklists or process overviews to a second page when page one is crowded.
  • If several pages contain two screenshots, reduce --max-image-height globally instead of special-casing one page.
  • Use emoji sparingly for scan markers such as prerequisites, warnings, checks, and completion gates.
  • Re-render PNG and PDF after every Markdown or screenshot change.
