What it is
Kami is a set of layout rules and document templates for AI coding agents such as Claude Code and Codex. You ask the agent for a one-pager, letter, resume, report, or slide deck, and Kami helps it produce a styled file as PDF, PNG, or editable PowerPoint. The README describes eight built-in document templates plus a landing page system, with English, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean support.
- Ask an agent to make a one-page product brief and export it as a PDF
- Turn a research note into a long document with a consistent serif layout
- Generate a multi-slide deck as an editable PowerPoint file
- Build a resume or recommendation letter from a short prompt
Great for
- People who use Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor and want polished documents without manual layout work
- Writers or founders who need one-pagers, resumes, or formal letters in a consistent style
- Developers who want technical reports or changelogs rendered as clean PDFs
- Users who write in Chinese, Japanese, or Korean and need proper font handling
Not ideal for
- People who need precise pixel-level control in a visual editor, since Kami works through an agent and templates rather than a drag-and-drop interface
- Windows users who do not want to use WSL, because the README says helper scripts are Bash and native Windows needs separate GTK/Pango setup
- Anyone who cannot run an AI agent, since the skill is designed to be triggered by agent requests
How to get it
- 1
Install with a package manager
You'll need: An AI agent that supports skills, such as Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor
Install the skill for Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor
npx skills add tw93/kami -a claude-code codex cursor -g -yUpdate the skill
npx skills update -g -y - 2
Run it
- Install Kami with the npx command above
- Open your agent (for example Claude Code or Codex)
- Ask in plain language, such as make a one-pager for my startup
- Review the generated PDF or PNG output

Get the most out of it
- Create a brand profile at ~/.config/kami/brand.md to store your name, brand color, language, and page size
- Use the Marp variant for Markdown-first slide decks
- Use python-pptx output when you need an editable PowerPoint file
- Install Pygments if you want syntax-highlighted code in PDFs
- Use the MCP server at skills/kami/scripts/mcp_server.py if your agent supports MCP
Downloads
Strengths
- Installs through a single documented command for several major agents
- Covers multiple languages with language-specific font fallbacks
- Optional brand profile file lets you reuse your color, name, and tone settings
Trade-offs
- Setup depends on external tools such as WeasyPrint, and the README says native Windows needs extra GTK/Pango runtime installation
- Some features, like syntax highlighting, degrade gracefully when optional packages such as Pygments are missing
- Output quality and layout depend on the AI agent driving it, which the README does not fully detail
