Cloned the repo, confirmed all referenced files exist (scripts/generate_document.py, 3 template PDFs, 3 example JSONs, references/document_schemas.md), and that deps (pypdf, reportlab) were present. Ran the script for real on proposal_example.json and budget_example.json: both produced valid multi-page PDFs (proposal = 5 pages, 41KB). Text extraction confirmed the user data (Digital Transformation Initiative, Acme Corporation, TechSolutions Inc.) was overlaid on the cover. Real defect: the proposal and business_plan generators draw new text on top WITHOUT covering the template's placeholder text, so the cover shows overlapping ghost text ("Project Proposal Title Here" plus real title in the same spot); only the budget generator whites-out placeholders first. Baseline was a plain markdown proposal I wrote by hand; the skill instead yields a styled 5-page template PDF, a concrete distributable-artifact difference, but capped by the overlap bug and cover-only fill scope. Security scan clean: no network calls, no exfiltration, no injection.
Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works
- Installs cleanly 5/5
- Triggers reliably 5/5
- Output vs. baseline 6/10
- Docs & honesty 4/5
What Business Document Generator does
Generates professional business documents (project proposals, business plans, annual budgets) by overlaying user-supplied JSON data onto bundled PDF templates with a Python script (pypdf + reportlab). Triggers when the user asks to create a proposal, business plan, or budget document from a template. Fills cover-page fields only; the template body remains a static professional framework.
