Note: A small number of skills wrap native CLI tools (currently only
markdown-to-pdf, which needspandocand a LaTeX engine). Those tools must be installed separately. See Optional native dependencies below. All other skills work out of the box.
Pick the fastest entry point for what you're trying to do. Most users start with an agent (which orchestrates many skills); power users invoke skills directly.

A small number of skills wrap native command-line tools and only work if those tools are installed on the user's machine. All such skills are optional. If a required tool is missing, the skill exits immediately with the exact install commands; nothing breaks silently and the rest of the library continues to work normally.
If you do not want to install the tools below, simply do not invoke the skills that need them. Every other skill in this repository, and every agent that does not include one of these skills in its pipeline, works without any additional native dependencies.
| Skill | Native dependency | Why it's needed | Install (macOS) | Install (Linux / Debian) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
markdown-to-pdf |
pandoc and a LaTeX engine (xelatex) |
Renders a finished markdown report to an analyst-style PDF. The LaTeX engine produces the typography. Without these tools the skill cannot run; it has no fallback rendering path. | brew install pandoc basictexsudo tlmgr update --selfsudo tlmgr install xetex |
sudo apt install pandoc texlive-xetex texlive-fonts-recommended |
basictex on macOS is about 90 MB. Do not install mactex unless you specifically need the full LaTeX stack (~5 GB).
Currently only one agent pipeline includes a dependency-requiring skill:
product-strategistcallsmarkdown-to-pdfin its final step to render the finished strategist report.
If you run product-strategist without pandoc or xelatex installed, the agent still produces its primary markdown report; only the PDF rendering step is affected, and the agent will surface the install instructions in that case. You can install the tools later and re-render any past markdown report on demand.
