Skill: markdown2pdf

Adds markdown2pdf to the Document Processing category.

What it does

Converts Markdown files — or inline markdown text from the conversation — into clean, formatted PDFs using the open-source markdown2pdf CLI. Output is vector PDF: searchable/copy-pasteable text, embedded Inter + JetBrains Mono fonts, GitHub-style typography. Supports GFM (headings, tables, task lists, code blocks with syntax highlighting, blockquotes, etc.).

Real-world use case

Anyone who drafts notes, reports, or READMEs in Markdown and needs a polished, printable/shareable PDF — without copying into a word processor. The skill auto-fetches the CLI binary on first use (cached afterward), so there's nothing to install manually: the user just asks "convert this README to PDF" and gets a file back.

Why an external repo link

The skill lives in its own actively maintained repo alongside the CLI engine and web playground it depends on. Linking to it directly keeps the entry in sync with releases — matching the style of other community entries like aws-skills and the Markdown to EPUB Converter.
