Open PDF Studio — Claude Skill Package

6 deterministic skills for the technology boundaries in open-pdf-studio. Prevents breakage when modifying code that crosses library boundaries.

---

Why This Package?

open-pdf-studio combines 6 technologies in one app: Tauri 2, SolidJS, Vite, PDF.js, pdf-lib, and i18next. AI fails most at the boundaries between these — where PDF.js bytes meet pdf-lib editing, where SolidJS reactivity meets vanilla JS canvas code, where Tauri IPC meets browser APIs.

Each skill documents:

• Side A — one technology's API and data format
• Side B — the other technology's API and data format
• The Bridge — how data flows between them, and what breaks if you do it wrong
