SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Teams exporting architecture write-ups, runbooks, reports, and handoffs often produce inconsistent documents with ad-hoc colors, skipped heading levels, and wrong file formats. This Skill centralizes the house style so every delivered artifact follows the same palette, heading hierarchy, capitalization, and format-selection rules. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Five-role color palette: Ink, Muted, Accent, Warn, and Fail hex values with strict usage rules so color carries meaning rather than decoration. - Heading and capitalization standards: One H1 matching the filename, no skipped levels, depth capped at H3, sentence case everywhere, and a mandatory provenance line on exports. - Format routing: Decision table mapping reader needs to PDF, DOCX, HTML, or Markdown, with explicit routing to generator skills like doc-builder and anthropic-office-skills, including degraded-path handling when doc-builder or Microsoft Word is missing. - Use Case: When asked to export an architecture review as a PDF for a client, the Skill selects PDF, applies the palette and heading rules, routes generation to doc-builder with the configured brand theme, and relays any branding errors verbatim. ## Quick Start Apply the house style to export this architecture write-up as a branded PDF using the configured docs.theme.

Frequently Asked Questions about crew-house-style

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I choose between PDF and DOCX for a delivered document?

Choose PDF when the reader needs a final, printed, or identical-everywhere artifact, and DOCX when they will edit, comment, or track changes. HTML suits browser or wiki readers, and Markdown suits engineers or the repository itself.

What heading structure should an exported report follow?

Use exactly one H1 matching the filename, H2 for sections, H3 below that, and never skip levels or go deeper than H3. All headings, table headers, and captions use sentence case, and the provenance line must be carried into the export.

When should doc-builder be used instead of anthropic-office-skills?

Use doc-builder for branded findings reports and screenshot SOPs via its --brand flag. anthropic-office-skills remains the default for general DOCX and PDF because doc-builder's conversions require Microsoft Word on Windows via COM.

What happens if doc-builder is installed but Microsoft Word is missing?

This is a partial loss, not a full fallback. doc-builder still produces the branded HTML report and the branded SOP DOCX through python-docx; only --to-docx/--to-pdf conversion and Gate 2 are unavailable, and doc-builder's own message should be relayed.

Should I validate the configured brand theme name before calling doc-builder?

No. doc-builder's resolver accepts pack names, skill directory names, and paths to brand.json, case-insensitively, and always resolves neutral. A pre-check would reject valid configurations; instead relay doc-builder's BrandNotFound error, which lists installed packs.
