recommendation-letter-workflow

What problem does it solve?

Producing consistent, application-ready recommendation letters is slow and error-prone, especially when you need to tailor many institutions and render final PDFs from Quarto sources.

Core Features & Use Cases

• End-to-end repository workflow: Sets up the standard structure, creates dated institution folders, duplicates the template QMD, and maintains a description.qmd change log.
• Institution-specific tailoring: Updates recipient details, dates, and letter body content while keeping claims grounded in available applicant information.
• Quality-controlled PDF rendering: Renders with Quarto and verifies PDFs for placeholders, accuracy, and layout issues.
• Guided content quality: Uses the editorial guidelines reference to enforce structure, section limits, specificity rules, and formatting constraints.

Quick Start

Use this skill to create a new dated institution folder for your application, draft the letter from the template QMD, then render the final PDF with Quarto.
