Typst

This skill handles Typst document creation and package development. It knows when to kick in for .typ files, typst.toml configs, and template work. The guide is organized around two paths: writing documents (academic papers, reports, tables) and building reusable packages. It includes verification strategies using HTML/PNG export to check output without opening PDFs, plus embedded search tools for the Typst Universe package registry and API reference. The examples are copy-paste starters that map directly to the relevant docs sections. If you're converting from LaTeX or Markdown, or building a custom template system, the structured references beat hunting through general Typst documentation.
