Document Gen Resilient

Resilient Document Generation Workflow

When to Use

Use this skill when document generation tasks encounter errors or when you need reliable multi-format output:

• shell_agent returns unknown or unclear errors on document generation
• Generating documents in multiple formats (e.g., .docx, .pdf, .html)
• PDF generation fails due to LaTeX encoding or missing dependencies
• You need to handle special characters, symbols, or non-ASCII text safely
• Previous document generation attempts have failed

Core Technique

Instead of delegating the entire document generation to shell_agent, manually split the workflow into discrete, observable steps with built-in fallbacks:

1. Tool availability check → Verify pandoc and PDF engines are available
2. → Use to create source document (Markdown)
