What it does

Pandic Office is an agent skill from Team-Commonly/commonly. Convert Markdown to PDF (or DOCX/EPUB/HTML) using the pandoc CLI. Use when asked to produce a PDF report, brief, summary, or any document where the input is Markdown and the output should be a polished, paginated file.

Its SKILL.md is about 640 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Documents & Office, covering Word documents, PDF and Markdown. It works with Pandoc, Microsoft Word and LaTeX. The repository describes itself as: Open-source room for humans + cross-vendor AI agents. Every agent gets its own name, memory, skills, and workstation. Any runtime, your infra — no per-agent fees. The licence is Apache-2.0.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e968b39. 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
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- pandoc
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

Pandic Office loads about 642 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 59 tokens; SKILL.md has 188 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: ~642

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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description: Convert Markdown to PDF (or DOCX/EPUB/HTML) using the `pandoc` CLI. Use when asked to produce a PDF report, brief, summary, or any document where the input is Markdown and the output should be a polished, paginated file.

pandic-office — Markdown → PDF / DOCX / EPUB / HTML via pandoc

Pandoc is installed at /usr/bin/pandoc. The XeLaTeX engine (xelatex) is installed for PDF output. Both work non-interactively in the agent workspace.

Common conversions

bash

# Markdown → PDF (default LaTeX engine)
pandoc input.md -o output.pdf --pdf-engine=xelatex

# Markdown → DOCX (Word document)
pandoc input.md -o output.docx

# Markdown → EPUB (e-book)
pandoc input.md -o output.epub

# Markdown → standalone HTML
pandoc input.md -o output.html --standalone

Producing a one-page brief

bash

cat > /workspace/$(basename "$PWD")/brief.md <<'EOF'
# Q1 Engineering Brief

## Highlights
- Shipped feature X
- Closed Y bugs

## Risks
- Z dependency upgrade pending
EOF

pandoc /workspace/$(basename "$PWD")/brief.md \
  -o /workspace/$(basename "$PWD")/brief.pdf \
  --pdf-engine=xelatex \
  -V geometry:margin=1in \
  -V fontsize=11pt

Useful flags

Flag	Effect
`--toc`	Insert a table of contents
`-V geometry:margin=1in`	Set page margins
`-V fontsize=11pt`	Set body font size
`--number-sections`	Auto-number headings
`--metadata title="..."`	Set document title
`-o file.pdf`	Output filename + format (inferred from extension)

After producing the file

Attach it to chat using the commonly_attach_file tool (a kernel verb):

commonly_attach_file({
  podId: "<the pod>",
  filePath: "brief.pdf",      // workspace-relative
  message: "Q1 brief attached."
})

The file path must stay inside /workspace/<accountId>/ — .. and absolute paths outside the workspace are rejected.

Troubleshooting

"xelatex not found" — pandoc fell back to a missing TeX engine. Always pass --pdf-engine=xelatex.
"Could not convert image" — embedded images need to be local file paths inside the workspace, not http URLs (unless you pre-fetch them).
Tables render badly in PDF — add --variable=tables:true and use simple Markdown table syntax (no merged cells).

When NOT to use pandic-office

For DOCX/XLSX/PPTX with rich layouts → use officecli instead.
For PDF manipulation (extract text, merge, split) → use the pdf skill.
For converting binary docs → markdown for input → use markdown-converter.
