Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned apcamargo/typst-skills at 433372acab.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

This skill allows AI agents to generate documents using the Typst typesetting language. It can create formatted text, including headings, lists, and tables, based on provided instructions or content outlines. The generated documents are output in Typst's .typ format, ready for compilation into PDF or other formats supported by Typst.

When to use it

  • Drafting technical documentation: Quickly generate initial drafts of reports or manuals using structured input.
  • Creating formatted resumes/CVs: Produce professional-looking resumes from a list of skills and experience.
  • Generating presentations: Develop slide outlines and content in Typst format for presentation creation.
  • Automating report generation: Automatically create regular reports by feeding data into the skill's prompts.

Key capabilities

  • Typst document generation
  • Formatted text output (headings, lists, tables)
  • .typ file export

Example prompts

  • "Create a Typst document outlining my skills in Python and JavaScript."
  • "Generate a Typst resume from this job description: [paste job description]"
  • "Write a Typst document with sections for Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion."

Tips & gotchas

  • Requires familiarity with the basic syntax of the Typst typesetting language. The skill generates the .typ file; you'll need to compile it using a Typst installation.
