## What it does

The skill walks the agent through two stages. First it writes a `content_and_design.md` blueprint: checklist frame, requirement audit, information architecture. Then it builds a `.K2F` package and exports a fillable PDF or DOCX. Every row is one action with an observable done state, like "CI green on release branch" instead of a topic heading such as "Testing".

Inside the blueprint stage the agent picks a spine: chronological phases when order matters, or parallel workstreams for teams moving independently. Compound rows get split, and blockers — tests, approvals, backups — land before irreversible steps. The second stage hands the blueprint to the `k2f` skill, which instantiates sections and checkbox items and runs the export.

Install the core skill first: `npx skills add suzheng/k2f --skill k2f`. Without it the second stage has nothing to build with. Thresholds, SLAs and policy text are never invented — anything missing from your prompt is flagged as an open question.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add suzheng/k2f --skill k2f-checklist -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/k2f-checklist/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/k2f-checklist/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add suzheng/k2f --skill k2f-checklist -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/k2f-checklist/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add suzheng/k2f --skill k2f-checklist -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/k2f-checklist/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install suzheng/k2f k2f-checklist
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/k2f-checklist/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add suzheng/k2f --skill k2f-checklist -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/suzheng/k2f --path skills/forms/k2f-checklist
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/k2f-checklist/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add suzheng/k2f --skill k2f-checklist -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/suzheng/k2f/tree/HEAD/skills/forms/k2f-checklist/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- draft a pre-launch checklist with phases and gating order
- turn a deploy runbook into verifiable checkbox rows
- consolidate audit and diligence lists into one document
- lay out onboarding steps with a clear done criterion
- export the checklist as a fillable PDF or DOCX

## Example prompts
- build a pre-release checklist with phases and verifiable items
- turn my deploy runbook into one checklist with blockers before irreversible steps
- draft an audit checklist and export it as a fillable PDF

name: k2f-checklist
description: Blueprint operational, launch, diligence, or readiness checklists with phased flow, verifiable items, and scannable hierarchy—not a flat bullet dump or generic productivity template. Use when the user asks for a checklist, pre-flight list, deploy runbook checks, onboarding steps, audit tracker, or "what do we need before we ship." Create checklists with AI-native design and the highest aesthetic standards, powered by the K2F format and engine. Purpose-built for AI agents, K2F lets them focus on semantic content and design intent while automatically handling layout, typography, and formatting complexity.

# K2F Checklist — AI-Native Aesthetic Design

## Purpose

Teach agents to blueprint **checklists** in `content_and_design.md`: what must be verified, how to group and sequence items, and aesthetic intent (scanability, checkbox rhythm, operational tone)—without inventing org policy, compliance gates, or thresholds the user did not supply.

## Built on K2F

This skill produces checklists as `.K2F` packages. Follow the **k2f** skill for authoring: unpack or init a workspace, edit the semantic tree, pack/verify, and export. K2F keeps agents on *meaning*—sections, item labels, check states—not coordinates.

Before you build, install the core skill: `npx skills add suzheng/k2f --skill k2f`.

## When to Use

- Pre-launch, deploy, migration, event, travel, or handoff verification the user will run repeatedly or once under time pressure.
- Consolidating runbooks or diligence lists into one printable or fillable checklist.
- Multi-workstream readiness when grouped sections beat a flat list.

## Workflow

### Step 1. Generate the content_and_design.md

Single blueprint for checklist content and design intent. Use labeled blocks (title band, context line, sections, checkbox rows, triggers, notes) the **k2f** skill can map later.

**Sub-steps**

1. **Checklist frame** — Domain, who runs it, one-shot vs recurring use, and **page budget** (often one page per phase). Tone: calm procedural, time-critical deploy, or formal compliance.

2. **Scope & requirement audit** — Gates, tools, risks, approvals, and **decision criteria** (stop, rollback, escalate). Unknowns → `OPEN QUESTION` or `NEEDS USER INPUT`; never fabricate SLAs or thresholds.

3. **Information architecture (include / cut / merge)** — Choose the dominant spine:
   - **Chronological phases** when order matters (e.g., Pre → Execute → Post; Plan → Pack → Go).
   - **Parallel workstreams** when teams advance independently (finance, legal, ops)—each section self-contained.
   - **Hybrid** only when needed; phase headers with workstream sub-blocks.
   Default blocks:
   - **Title & context** → checklist name, date/version slot, owner or role if supplied.
```
