Compiles notes, outlines, PDFs or BIRD and iMandalArt content into an eight-page mini book, with upright page PDFs, a reading PDF, an editable DOCX and an A4 landscape print sheet.

  • Works in 3 steps: print-a4-landscape.pdf: one A4 landscape… → reading-8-pages.pdf: eight upright pages… → editable-pages.docx: an editable…
  • Making a printable one-sheet eight-page zine from notes or an outline
  • SKILL.md covers Three Kings 2.2 Integration, Output Contract, Core Workflow and Japanese Textbook Listening Mode, plus 12 more sections
  • Runs Python scripts from its folder

What it does

This skill turns source material into a reproducible eight-page booklet that prints on one folded A4 sheet. It inspects every supplied source first, normalizes the content into a BookletManifest 2.0 manifest, and drafts eight page objects before rendering, giving each page one strong idea plus three to five short lines or one readable visual block. Longer context, citations and selection reasoning go into a companion.md file.

A complete build outputs the manifest, the companion file, eight upright single-page PDFs, a reading PDF in page order, an editable DOCX and an A4 landscape print sheet, which is generated only after the single pages pass structural checks. In the iMandalArt, BIRD and booklet chain, page 1 carries the iMandalArt overview and pages 2 to 8 carry seven BIRD routes. Japanese textbook listening booklets must produce all three learner formats. Version 2.2 is labeled alpha, and the agent is told not to claim script-backed validation when a named script is absent.

When your agent uses it

  • Making a printable one-sheet eight-page zine from notes or an outline
  • Imposing existing page PDFs onto an A4 landscape sheet for folding
  • Producing a reading PDF and editable DOCX of an eight-page mini book
  • Repairing or validating a booklet's page order and rotation

Example prompts

  • “Turn my meeting notes into an A4 eight-page zine I can print on one sheet.”
  • “Impose these eight page PDFs onto a single A4 landscape sheet with the right rotation.”
  • “Make a mini book from this PDF, with a reading version and an editable DOCX.”

Workflow steps

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

  1. print-a4-landscape.pdf: one A4 landscape sheet imposed for folding into eight pages.
  2. reading-8-pages.pdf: eight upright pages in reading order for Voice Dream Reader.
  3. editable-pages.docx: an editable eight-page Word file that opens cleanly in Apple Pages without blank pages.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 287d0f4. 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/ (Python), 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

A4 Eight Page Booklet loads about 4.4k tokens when it runs, and up to ~8.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 143 tokens; SKILL.md has 2,415 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~143
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~4.4k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~8.5k

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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 2,415 words (~4,448 tokens).

“Compile source material into a reproducible paper thinking object. Version 2.2 is the Skill integration release; it keeps BookletManifest 2.0 for backward compatibility, then renders every output from that manifest.”
