Server instructions

makesPDF authoring tools. **Before authoring any template, read the resource `file:///skills/pdf-template-author.md` once per session** — it is the canonical DSL reference (builder functions, style properties, nesting rules, recipes). Do not guess DSL syntax; read the skill first. Authoring loop: write DSL → call `validate_dsl` → fix any reported errors → call `render_dsl_preview` to confirm the layout. Use `save_template` to persist the final version, then `render_template` to produce the real (billed) PDF. **Before authoring from scratch, browse the curated library first** with `list_templates` (use `owner: 'library'` or filter by `category`, `tags`, or free-text `q`). Fetch a candidate with `get_template` to get its DSL + sampleData. You can render library `templateId`s directly through `render_template` — there's no fork-first step. Customising? Pull the DSL, edit locally, `save_template` for a user-owned copy. All tools are free (no credits consumed) **except** `render_template`, which charges 1 credit per 10 pages and produces a real (non-watermarked on paid plans) PDF. Use `render_dsl_preview` for free, watermarked previews while iterating; only call `render_template` once the layout is confirmed. Markdown has its own billed tool, `render_markdown` (same 1 credit / 10 pages rate). Run `validate_markdown` first - it is free. There is no free markdown preview: markdown needs no layout iteration, so `render_markdown` is the only markdown render tool.
