## What it does

The skill walks the agent through a blueprint first: `content_and_design.md` holds buyer and vendor identity, ship-to and bill-to routing, reference numbers for the linked quote or requisition, the line-item table and the totals story. From that blueprint it builds a `.K2F` package and exports it. The agent stays on meaning — who is buying, who supplies, what is ordered, where it ships — while the K2F engine compiles layout, typography and theme.

There is an issuance gate. No send-ready document without a PO number, issue date, currency, reconciled total, vendor identity and ship/bill routing for physical goods. Line extensions drive the subtotal, and fees or taxes apply only to the documented base. When a quote total and a requisition total disagree, the skill marks `NEEDS USER CONFIRMATION` instead of quietly picking one. Vendor details, tax figures, payment terms and the approver name come from you only; invented part numbers and catalog prices get stripped.

This skill sits on top of `k2f`, so install the core first: `npx skills add suzheng/k2f --skill k2f`. Without it the unpack, semantic-tree edit, `pack/verify` and export steps have nothing to run on. That is worth checking if the agent complains about a missing engine.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

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

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

### Codex

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

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

### Cursor

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

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

### GitHub Copilot

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

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

### Gemini CLI

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

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/suzheng/k2f --path skills/business/k2f-purchase-order
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

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

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add suzheng/k2f --skill k2f-purchase-order -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/business/k2f-purchase-order/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- issue a PO from an approved quote
- turn a vague "we need 50 laptops" into numbered rows with quantity and price
- reconcile subtotal, freight and taxes into one PO total
- separate buyer, ship-to and bill-to addresses when they differ
- flag missing tax or terms instead of inventing them

## Example prompts
- create a purchase order from this quote, vendor details are in the file
- build a PO from the line-item list, ship to the warehouse, bill the legal entity
- rebuild this draft PO so references, quantities and totals match the requisition

name: k2f-purchase-order
description: Create issuance-ready purchase orders from requisitions, quotes, or line-item lists—structured so vendors can fulfill, ship, and invoice without clarification loops. Use when the user asks for a purchase order, PO, procurement order, or buyer-issued order to a supplier. Create purchase orders 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 Purchase Order — AI-Native Aesthetic Design

## Purpose

Teach agents to blueprint purchase orders before layout: unambiguous buyer–vendor identity, ship and bill routing, a reconciled line-item commitment, and visual hierarchy that surfaces **what is ordered, for where, by when, and under which terms**—without inventing SKUs, prices, or authorization the user did not supply.

## Built on K2F

This skill produces purchase orders as `.K2F` packages. Follow the **k2f** skill for authoring: unpack or init a workspace, edit the semantic tree, run pack/verify, then export. K2F keeps agents on *meaning* (parties, line roles, totals, delivery block)—not pixel coordinates—while the engine compiles layout, typography, and theme into consistent output across PDF and other formats.

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

## When to Use

- Issuing a PO from an approved quote, requisition, catalog cart, or pasted line items.
- Rebuilding a vague or generic AI PO so references, quantities, and totals match what procurement will send.
- Standard goods PO, services PO, or blanket/call-off PO where only user-defined scope belongs on the document.

## Workflow

### Step 1. Generate the content_and_design.md

Single blueprint for semantic content and aesthetic intent. Use labeled blocks the **k2f** skill can map to regions later.

**Sub-steps**

1. **PO type & commitment frame** — Standard goods, services, blanket/call-off, or change order against an existing PO. Note currency, locale formatting, and whether prices are firm or estimate-only. Omit sections the type does not need (e.g., skip ship-to on pure services if user says digital delivery only).
```
