What this skill does


## Troubleshooting

If requests fail, run `zero doctor check-connector --env-name PDF4ME_TOKEN` or `zero doctor check-connector --url https://api.pdf4me.com/api/v2/ConvertToPdf --method POST`

## How to Use

### 1. Convert to PDF

Convert Word, Excel, PowerPoint, images to PDF:

```bash
# Convert a text file to PDF
echo "Hello, PDF4ME!" > /tmp/test.txt
BASE64_CONTENT=$(base64 < /tmp/test.txt)
```

Write to `/tmp/pdf4me_request.json`:

```json
{
  "docContent": "${BASE64_CONTENT}",
  "docName": "test.txt"
}
```

Then run:

```bash
curl -s -X POST "https://api.pdf4me.com/api/v2/ConvertToPdf" --header "Authorization: $PDF4ME_TOKEN" --header "Content-Type: application/json" -d @/tmp/pdf4me_request.json | jq -r '.docContent' | base64 -d > /tmp/output.pdf
```

```json
{
  "docContent": "${HTML_CONTENT}",

rpg-migration-analyzer

Included

Analyzes legacy RPG (Report Program Generator) programs from AS/400 and IBM i systems for migration to modern Java applications. Extracts business logic from RPG III/IV/ILE source code, identifies data structures (D-specs), file operations (F-specs), program dependencies (CALLB/CALLP), and converts RPG constructs to Java equivalents. Generates migration reports, complexity estimates, and Java implementation strategies with POJO classes, JPA entities, and service methods. Use when modernizing AS/400 or IBM i legacy systems, analyzing RPG source files (.rpg, .rpgle, .RPGLE), converting RPG to Java, mapping data specifications to Java classes, planning legacy system migration, or when user mentions RPG analysis, Report Program Generator, RPG III/IV/ILE, AS/400 modernization, IBM i migration, packed decimal conversion, or mainframe application rewrite.

brand-library-architect

Included

Build a complete brand library for a product — visual asset render pipeline, brand documentation set (BRAND, COPY, MANIFESTO, BIOS, FAQ, GLOSSARY, TONE, PRICING), open-source convention files (README, CONTRIBUTING, SECURITY, CODE_OF_CONDUCT), and a self-contained press kit. This skill should be used when the user asks to "build a brand library / brand kit / press kit / brand assets" for a product, "set up a brand library workflow," "create a positioning manifesto plus visual identity," or any combination of brand documentation + visual asset pipeline. Apply phase-by-phase or run end-to-end. Templates are product-agnostic and use {{TOKEN}} placeholders the skill prompts the user to fill.

writing-tech-post

Included

Authors engineering blog posts end-to-end: launch deep-dives, incident postmortems, architecture migrations, performance case studies, tutorials, AI/agent system writeups, security disclosures, and research-to-product translations. Picks the correct archetype, plans the abstraction ladder, enforces an evidence cadence (diagrams, benchmarks, profiles, traces, code, ablations), tunes voice against publisher house styles (Datadog, Vercel, GitHub, AWS, Meta, Cloudflare, Jane Street), and runs a pre-publish gate for narrative momentum and disclosure ethics. Use when drafting a new engineering post, restructuring a draft that feels flat, deciding which evidence form belongs where, validating that depth and product context are balanced, or preparing a postmortem, migration, or performance narrative for external publication. Do not use for API reference documentation, README authoring, marketing copy, release notes, generic SEO content, ghost-written executive thought leadership, or non-engineering long-form essays.
