How to use the Kami Parchment Document agent skill

What an agent skill is and what this one changes

An agent skill is a folder containing a SKILL.md file and any supporting files. The agent reads the SKILL.md when it is relevant to your request and then follows the rules it contains. This skill is a style template: it does not run code or fetch anything. It tells the agent how to write the HTML for a document.

When the skill is active, the agent produces documents such as one-pagers, long reports, letters, resumes, changelogs and slide-style pages. The output looks like a typeset printed page rather than a web dashboard. The source defines the visual rules as a parchment canvas (#f5f4ed), dark warm-grey text (#1f1d18), a single ink-blue accent (#1B365D) and one serif family per language.

• Canvas: warm parchment #f5f4ed, never pure white
• Accent: only the ink-blue #1B365D, no multiple accent colours
• Type: one serif per language, body weight 400, headings 500
• No drop shadows, gradients, blur or rounded corners of 8px or more

Install the Kami Parchment skill

Download the skill ZIP from this page and unzip it. You can install it for yourself or for a single project.

For all your projects, place the unzipped doc-kami-parchment folder inside ~/.claude/skills/. For one project only, place it inside that project's .claude/skills/ folder.

Alternatively, if you use the Claude apps, upload the skill under Settings → Capabilities → Skills.

• Personal install: ~/.claude/skills/doc-kami-parchment
• Project install: .claude/skills/doc-kami-parchment inside your project
• Claude apps: Settings → Capabilities → Skills, then upload

Trigger the skill with natural requests

You do not need a special command. Describe the document you want and mention the parchment or editorial style. The agent decides whether to use the skill based on your request, so naming the document type and the look helps.

The source lists the document types the skill covers: one-pager, long doc, letter, portfolio, resume, slides, equity report and changelog. The example prompt in the skill metadata asks for real content and no placeholder images, and you can reuse that wording.

• "Turn these notes into a one-page summary in the parchment editorial style."
• "Write a letter to my landlord in the Kami Parchment style with a signature line."
• "Format this changelog for version history using the warm serif document style."
• "Make a resume from this text with a large name, contact row and experience list."

Check what you need before you start

The agent must be able to read SKILL.md files and write HTML. The generated page references Tailwind CSS from a CDN, so it is not installed locally, and you need a browser to view the output.

Fonts are the most common gap. Charter, TsangerJinKai02 W04 or Noto Serif SC should be installed locally. If they are missing, the page falls back to system serifs, and the typography will look different from the intended design.

• Agent that can read SKILL.md and write HTML
• Browser to view the result
• Tailwind CSS loaded from a CDN by the generated page
• Fonts installed locally, or accept system serif fallbacks

Safety notes: scripts and network

The skill does not run scripts and does not use the network, according to its metadata. It consists of instructions and an example file (example.html, open-design.json, SKILL.md). Review the files yourself if you want to confirm this before installing.

The generated HTML loads Tailwind CSS from a CDN when you open it, so that page will make a network request in your browser. The source states the skill itself does not use the network.

• Runs scripts: no
• Uses network: no for the skill itself
• Generated page loads Tailwind from a CDN

Tips for better results

Name the document type clearly, because the skill has a different layout for each one. Ask for a one-pager for a short summary and a long doc for a multi-chapter report.

Keep the visual rules intact. The source says the signature is fixed, so if you want a brand colour or several accents, this skill is the wrong choice. Dashboards with KPI cards and multi-colour charts are also outside its purpose.

• Say which document type you want
• Give real content; the example prompt asks to avoid lorem ipsum
• Install Charter or Noto Serif SC locally for the intended look
• Pick another style for dashboards or multi-brand colour schemes
