Convert Markdown (.md) files to a polished PDF with ALL images preserved and scaled to the page. Use whenever the user asks to "save this markdown as a PDF", "convert README.md to pdf", "export the .md as a pdf", "turn these notes/docs into a PDF", or wants a PDF deliverable of any GitHub-flavored Markdown document (README, design doc, report, notes) — especially when it contains images or diagrams (remote or local), tables, code blocks, or a linked table of contents. Pipeline: pandoc (GFM → standalone HTML with embedded resources) → headless Chrome print-to-pdf with a GitHub-like print sty
npx skills add kennethkhoocy/applied-micro-skills --skill markdown-to-pdf --agent claude-code

Run `npx skills add kennethkhoocy/applied-micro-skills --skill markdown-to-pdf --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From kennethkhoocy/applied-micro-skills, a repository with 54 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.

Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
