Elegant Reports

Turns markdown into clean, Nordic-inspired PDFs through Nutrient DWS. Ships with five templates (executive briefings, dense reports, presentation-style slides) in light and dark themes, all built around a consistent Scandinavian design system. You write frontmatter and markdown, run the Node generator, and get polished output without fighting CSS. The honest take: this is purpose-built restraint. If you need Swiss minimalism for board decks or client deliverables and you're tired of LaTeX or fighting with page breaks, this will save you hours. The skill includes design rationale docs and asks you to extend carefully rather than reinvent, which is the right call for a visual system.

elegant-reports

Generate minimalist PDF reports inspired by Scandinavian editorial design.

When to Use

Use this skill when the user wants:

polished executive briefings or board-style reports
presentation-like PDFs generated from markdown
a clean Nordic visual language instead of default developer styling
a reusable report template system that can be extended carefully

Quick Start

Install the pinned dependencies from package-lock.json, then run:

cd /path/to/elegant-reports
node ./generate.js --list
node ./generate.js examples/sample-executive.md output.pdf --template executive --theme light

For HTML debugging, add --output-html so the generator saves the rendered HTML alongside the PDF.

`report`	denser narrative reports and analysis writeups
