What it does

Elegant Reports is an agent skill from jdrhyne/agent-skills. Generate beautifully designed PDF reports with a Nordic/Scandinavian aesthetic. Use when creating polished executive briefings, analysis reports, or presentation-style PDF outputs from markdown and HTML via Nutrient DWS.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 28 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `NORDIC_DESIGN_RESEARCH.md`, `examples/sample-executive.md` and `generate.js`).

It sits in Documents & Office, covering PDF. The repository describes itself as: A collection of AI agent skills for Clawdbot, Claude Code, Codex. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Creating polished executive briefings
  • Analysis reports
  • Presentation-style PDF outputs from markdown and HTML via Nutrient DWS

Example prompts

  • “/elegant-reports”

Requirements

  • Node.js
  • A credential in NUTRIENT_DWS_API_KEY

Workflow steps

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

  1. Pick the closest existing template instead of starting from scratch.
  2. Write or refine the source markdown.
  3. Generate a PDF.
  4. If layout tuning is needed, inspect the emitted HTML with --output-html and adjust the corresponding template/theme pair.
  5. Re-run until the design is clean and the PDF is stable.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 439cd3a. 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 1 file in scripts/ (JavaScript, from the files we listed), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • node
    • npm

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npm, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

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

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • NUTRIENT_DWS_API_KEY

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

Context cost

Elegant Reports loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 59 tokens; SKILL.md has 444 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~59
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~3.3k

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.

description
Generate beautifully designed PDF reports with a Nordic/Scandinavian aesthetic. Use when creating polished executive briefings, analysis reports, or presentation-style PDF outputs from markdown and HTML via Nutrient DWS.

elegant-reports

Generate minimalist PDF reports inspired by Scandinavian editorial design.

When to Use

Use this skill when the user wants:

  • polished executive briefings or board-style reports
  • presentation-like PDFs generated from markdown
  • a clean Nordic visual language instead of default developer styling
  • a reusable report template system that can be extended carefully

Quick Start

Install the pinned dependencies from package-lock.json, then run:

bash
cd /path/to/elegant-reports
node ./generate.js --list
node ./generate.js examples/sample-executive.md output.pdf --template executive --theme light

For HTML debugging, add --output-html so the generator saves the rendered HTML alongside the PDF.

Available Templates

TemplateUse Case
executivepolished briefings and compact executive summaries
reportdenser narrative reports and analysis writeups
presentationbold slide-like outputs with one idea per page
report-demolegacy report variant for comparison/testing
presentation-demolegacy presentation variant for comparison/testing

Each template supports light and dark themes where available.

Frontmatter

Add YAML frontmatter to control the rendered output:

markdown
---
title: Q4 Competitive Analysis
subtitle: Market Intelligence Report
author: Report Author
template: report
theme: dark
---

Your content here...

Workflow

  1. Pick the closest existing template instead of starting from scratch.
  2. Write or refine the source markdown.
  3. Generate a PDF.
  4. If layout tuning is needed, inspect the emitted HTML with --output-html and adjust the corresponding template/theme pair.
  5. Re-run until the design is clean and the PDF is stable.

Extending the Skill

When authoring a new visual variant:

  • start from the nearest bundled template and theme
  • keep token names and spacing scales consistent with the existing system
  • make one visual change at a time and regenerate after each step
  • prefer additive variants over rewriting the whole design language
  • keep legacy/demo templates available until the replacement is verified

The bundled Nordic design research note is the canonical reference for the visual system. Read it only when you need deeper design rationale.

Safety Boundaries

  • Do not send sensitive source documents to third-party services unless the user explicitly requested PDF generation through Nutrient DWS and accepts that network boundary.
  • Do not browse arbitrary local files. Limit reads to the skill bundle and user-approved input/output paths.
  • Do not overwrite or delete files outside the user-approved working directory.
  • Do not install extra packages, change dependency versions, or add new external services unless the user explicitly asks for that setup work.
  • Do not claim a report was generated successfully unless the output artifact exists and the generator completed without error.
  • Do not fetch external design inspiration or web references unless the user explicitly wants fresh visual research.

Dependencies

  • Node.js 18+
  • pinned npm dependencies from package-lock.json
  • NUTRIENT_DWS_API_KEY environment variable for PDF generation

File Map

  • main generator CLI and module entrypoint
  • bundled HTML templates
  • bundled visual themes
  • sample markdown input
  • optional deeper design rationale bundled with the skill

Validation

Before calling the skill done:

  • run node ./generate.js --list
  • run npm test
  • verify the expected PDF or HTML artifact exists in the requested output path
