Create and revise fixed-layout PDFs such as reports, guides, and printable documents. The skill also covers reading, merging, splitting, cropping, and filling existing PDFs, with rendering checks and visual review before delivery.
Build, revise, or manipulate a fixed-layout PDF (report, guide, one-pager, printable document). Use whenever a build task's artifact kind is pdf, a document build's output format is pdf, or the task reads, merges, splits, crops, or fills an existing PDF, including fillable AcroForms. Covers authoring the print-CSS HTML source, rendering, the geometry and validation gates, existing-PDF manipulation and form filling, and delivery under workspace/your_files.
Review the instructions the agent will receive before you install.
A PDF is authored as HTML with print CSS and rendered through the
shared capture engine. The kept source under .src/ is the editable truth
for every future revision; the PDF binary is always regenerated, never
patched.
| Task | Read first |
|---|---|
| Any PDF build or edit | /opt/hatch/skills/artifacts/pdf/references/workflow.md (the workflow: authoring, render, gates, validation loop) |
| Design and layout | /opt/hatch/skills/artifacts/pdf/references/visual.md |
| What the words say: outline, headings, tone, the prose read-back | /opt/hatch/skills/artifacts/references/prose.md (shared) |
| The document plots data | /opt/hatch/skills/artifacts/references/charts.md (shared) |
| The document shows a place or a map | /opt/hatch/skills/artifacts/references/maps.md (shared) |
| Read, merge, split, or extract from an existing PDF; fill a PDF form | /opt/hatch/skills/artifacts/pdf/references/existing-pdfs.md |
| Script | What it does |
|---|---|
/opt/hatch/skills/artifacts/scripts/render_audit.mjs (shared) | Renders the HTML source to PDF and PNGs and runs the render gates; workflow.md names the flags |
/opt/hatch/skills/artifacts/scripts/validate_pdf.sh | Integrity, page metadata, data-URI embedding, full rasterization; run until it passes |
Follow /opt/hatch/skills/artifacts/testing/SKILL.md: run the gates, then read every
validation PNG before returning a link.

Create a 3D object with three.js, inspect it from every angle in an interactive viewer, and download it as OBJ + MTL or GLB for use in other 3D applications.
Maintain a private task list with deadlines, next steps, waiting parties, and blockers. Update progress and dependencies, merge duplicate items, and archive closed tasks so ongoing commitments stay clear and easy to follow.
Coordinate a task from a verifiable goal through completion. Handle work directly or split independent tasks across separate agent sessions, track progress, verify results, and arrange pull request merging when included in the goal.
Create animated HTML pages with smooth scene transitions and playback controls. An editable timeline lets users adjust scene lengths and speeds, with fixed landscape or portrait layouts prepared for video export.
Review synced Apple Health records, including steps, heart rate, sleep, and workouts. Retrieve daily summaries or detailed samples for a chosen period, and check sync status and missing data before interpreting the results.
Create and edit Word documents and templates, reorganize text, replace images, and work with tracked changes or comments. Apply proper headings and lists, then render every page to check its appearance before delivery.
