Kami makes your agent turn your content into a typeset PDF, such as a resume, one-pager, letter, white paper or slide deck.

Kami (紙, Japanese for paper) is tw93's document skill. Ask for a 简历, one-pager, white paper, letter, portfolio, slides, equity report, changelog or landing page. The agent locks a short contract, writes your content into a content.json, fills one of its HTML templates with serif fonts, warm backgrounds and ink-blue accents, then builds a PDF and checks every page.

It runs Python scripts, mainly build.py --deliver, and needs WeasyPrint. Templates exist in Chinese, English and Korean. It does not invent facts: missing data becomes a [DATA NEEDED] gap that the agent reports to you. Read the safety notes below before installing, because the skill can download fonts and install packages.

Good for

Job seekers who want a clean two-page resume PDF
Founders and analysts producing one-pagers, white papers and slide decks
Developers who want release notes, a changelog or a landing page in a consistent style

Install kami

Claude Code

Copy this prompt.

Install the kami skill in Claude Code. Run this command:

/plugin marketplace add tw93/kami
/plugin install kami@kami

Then check that it loaded and tell me how to use it.

2
Paste it into Claude Code. It shows the change and asks before running it.

Requires Claude Code v2.1.142 or newer.

Kami also needs a PDF renderer (WeasyPrint) and, for math, Node.js 20 or 22+. Run build.py --doctor from the skill folder to see what is missing.

Permissions

Medium risk

Kami runs Python and shell scripts, can download fonts and install a math renderer, and checks GitHub for updates once a day. Review the scripts you are comfortable running, and approve each install command.

Read-only mode

Watch out for

It can install packages and download fonts
ensure_mathjax.sh runs npm ci --ignore-scripts for MathJax into a cache folder. ensure-fonts.sh downloads Chinese and Korean fonts into your user font folder. Production notes also show pip install weasyprint pypdf pymupdf --break-system-packages. github.com
Daily update check contacts GitHub
SKILL.md tells the agent to run check-update.sh at the start of a task. It writes a marker under ~/.cache/kami and reads the latest GitHub release at most once a day. The script says it uploads no document or task content. github.com
Brand extraction fetches a website
brand_extract.py fetches the URL you give it to draft a brand profile. SKILL.md says the agent shows you the draft and uses it only after you accept. github.com
A bundled MCP server script is included
scripts/mcp_server.py is a stdio server that renders and checks documents. It says to render only trusted local HTML, because referenced files and URLs load with its permissions. The script header shows how to register it with an MCP client. github.com
The Claude Code plugin route
The plugin is named kami in the tw93/kami marketplace. The repo tree shows a plugin.json for Claude Code and Codex and no hooks file or .mcp.json for the plugin. github.com

Questions

How do I install the Kami skill?

Use the install box above. The README gives a skills CLI command that installs one shared copy for Claude Code, Codex and Cursor, and a plugin route for Claude Code and Codex. Claude Desktop takes the release ZIP, not GitHub's source ZIP.

What do I need installed besides the skill?

A way to render PDFs: SKILL.md uses WeasyPrint, and the production guide shows a pip command for WeasyPrint, pypdf and PyMuPDF. LaTeX math needs Node.js 20 or 22+. Kami says Windows users should run it inside WSL. build.py --doctor reports what is missing.

Does Kami work in Claude Desktop or the Claude app?

The README documents uploading kami.zip in Customize > Skills. It does not say whether the sandbox there has WeasyPrint, so check with build.py --doctor after upload. Claude Code is the documented path for local files.

Does Kami download anything?

It can. ensure-fonts.sh downloads large Chinese and Korean fonts into your user font folder, ensure_mathjax.sh runs npm ci for a math renderer, and check-update.sh reads GitHub's latest release page once a day. See the safety notes below.

Can I use Kami commercially?

The skill folder ships a LICENSE file (MIT). Fonts differ: the README says TsangerJinKai02 is free for personal use only, and commercial use needs a licence from tsanger.cn. Source Han Serif K and JetBrains Mono are under the OFL.

Will Kami make up numbers for my resume or report?

SKILL.md says not to. It says never to fill a gap with a guess, stock image or invented value, and to mark gaps as [DATA NEEDED]. The closing message must list every gap and assumption. You should still check every figure.

Is Kami safe to install?

It runs Python and shell scripts on your machine, can download fonts, can run npm ci, and checks GitHub for updates daily. It also bundles a stdio MCP server script, which you register yourself if you want it. Install it only if you are comfortable with that.
