The skill

Helps you write and fix Typst documents.

Only when you ask.

Fewer bugs

Your documents always build. Mistakes are fixed before you share the file.

↻ Runs by itselfevery time a .typ file changes

How the habit works.
You don't have to.

Three questionsWhen does it start? How does it check its work? What does it remember?

01

It starts by itself

.typ file changed. Runs in Claude Code routine or GitHub Actions.

  • ↻ .typ file changed
  • a commit or save changes a .typ file

02

It checks its work

compile passes, output checked. If a check fails, it tries again.

  • ✓typst compile exits without errors
  • ✓the output PDF exists
  • ✓HTML export shows the expected headings

03

It remembers

build fixes log. The next run reads it first: errors fixed in earlier runs.

loops/typst-build-check-loop/run-log.md

One run, step by step.
Then it stops.

Stop ruleStops after one document, with at most 2 fix rounds.

  1. 01

    Compile

    Run typst compile on the changed document, with --root when it uses /path imports.

  2. 02

    Fix errors

    Match each error to the common errors table and fix it.

  3. 03

    Check text

    Export HTML with --features html to check headings and tables.

  4. 04

    Check layout

    Export PNG pages to check alignment, spacing and fonts.

  5. 05

    Upgrade old code

    Use migration.md when code predates Typst 0.15.

What it may do.
Nothing more.

Safe by defaultIt writes only in its own folder and asks you before anything goes out.

Is it for you?
Use it when it fits.

Quick checkRead both lists. If the left one sounds like you, the Typst skill helps.

Use it when

  • ✓ You work with .typ files
  • ✓ You convert LaTeX or Markdown to Typst
  • ✓ You build a Typst template or package

Skip it when

  • – You write in LaTeX only
  • – You need a word processor file
