## What it does

The skill transforms JSON layout definitions into a working `Template.xml` for 1C spreadsheet documents. It manages palettes, fonts, styles, namespace declarations, and cell spans automatically.

Under the hood, it invokes the `scripts/mxl-compile.ps1` script with `<JsonPath>` and `<OutputPath>`. The format supports column ratios, named areas, drill-down parameters, and shorthand cell arrays.

You need `powershell.exe` in your environment. Without PowerShell, the compilation script fails to execute.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Plugin marketplace**
In the agent chat (not a shell):
```text
/plugin marketplace add Nikolay-Shirokov/cc-1c-skills
```
In the agent chat (not a shell):
```text
/plugin install 1c-skills@cc-1c-skills
```
This installs the whole 1c-skills plugin with all its skills

2. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Nikolay-Shirokov/cc-1c-skills --skill mxl-compile -a claude-code
```

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

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Nikolay-Shirokov/cc-1c-skills --skill mxl-compile -a codex
```

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

### Cursor

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

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install Nikolay-Shirokov/cc-1c-skills mxl-compile
```

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

### Gemini CLI

**Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/Nikolay-Shirokov/cc-1c-skills --path .claude/skills/mxl-compile
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

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

### 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/Nikolay-Shirokov/cc-1c-skills/tree/HEAD/.claude/skills/mxl-compile/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- Compile 1C print layout Template.xml files from a compact JSON DSL
- Set column widths, cell borders, and fonts without editing raw 1C XML
- Define template fill parameters and drill-down keys for layout areas
- Reconstruct print forms from scanned document screenshots

## Example prompts
- /mxl-compile ./specs/invoice.json ./src/CommonTemplates/Invoice/Template.xml
- Compile the layout defined in report.json into Template.xml using /mxl-compile
- Generate Template.xml for the receipt layout from ./receipt.json

# /mxl-compile — Компилятор макета из DSL

Принимает компактное JSON-определение макета (области, параметры, стили) → генерирует Template.xml табличного документа 1С: палитры, индексы, объединения, namespace.

## Использование

```
/mxl-compile <JsonPath> <OutputPath>
```

## Параметры

| Параметр   | Обязательный | Описание                           |
|------------|:------------:|------------------------------------|
| JsonPath   | да           | Путь к JSON-определению макета     |
| OutputPath | да           | Путь для генерации Template.xml    |

## Команда

```powershell
powershell.exe -NoProfile -File "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/mxl-compile.ps1" -JsonPath "<путь>.json" -OutputPath "<путь>/Template.xml"
```

## Рабочий процесс

1. Написать JSON-определение (Write tool) → файл `.json`
2. Вызвать `/mxl-compile` для генерации Template.xml
3. Вызвать `/mxl-validate` для проверки корректности
4. Вызвать `/mxl-info` для верификации структуры

**Если макет создаётся по изображению** (скриншот, скан печатной формы) — сначала вызвать `/img-grid` для наложения сетки, по ней определить границы колонок и пропорции, затем использовать `"Nx"` ширины + `"page"` для автоматического расчёта размеров.

## Что читать под задачу

Ниже — всё, что нужно для типового макета. Остальное лежит по файлу на задачу, читать нужно
только свой:

| Задача | Ключи | Файл |
|---|---|---|
| Свойство стиля вне частых: отступ, защита, узор, маска, поведение при выводе | — | `reference/style-properties.md` |
| Область, не описываемая диапазоном строк; свои ширины колонок у части документа | `namedAreas`, `columnSets`, `columnSet` | `reference/layout.md` |
| Колонтитулы, ориентация, поля, масштаб | `header`, `footer`, `printSettings` | `reference/print.md` |
| Картинка, фигура или надпись поверх сетки; картинка в ячейке | `pictures`, `drawings`, `pictureParameter` | `reference/drawings.md` |
| Ячейки для ввода данных пользователем | `valueType`, `controlType`, `value` | `reference/input-cells.md` |
