What is Typst & LaTeX Compiler?
The Typst & LaTeX Compiler skill provides a powerful interface for generating high-fidelity PDF documents directly from source code. By utilizing the TypeTex compilation API, this tool eliminates the need for maintaining heavy local TeX Live or Typst installations. It is designed to fit seamlessly into modern developer workflows, allowing for the programmatic creation of technical reports, academic papers, and automated documentation.
As a versatile component of the Openclaw Skills library, it supports both the modern, fast Typst language and the industry-standard LaTeX ecosystem. It handles complex multi-file projects, bibliography management, and image embedding, making it an essential tool for any developer or AI agent requiring professional-grade typesetting capabilities.
Typst & LaTeX Compiler Use Cases
- Automating the generation of academic papers or technical reports from AI-synthesized data.
- Converting dynamic markdown or markup content into beautifully formatted PDFs for client delivery.
- Integrating professional typesetting into CI/CD pipelines for documentation updates.
- Building automated resume or invoice generators that require precise layout control.
How Typst & LaTeX Compiler Works
- The user provides the primary document content in either Typst (.typ) or LaTeX (.tex) format.
- Any necessary auxiliary files, such as images, stylesheets (.sty), or bibliographies, are bundled as part of the request.
- A POST request is dispatched to the TypeTex compilation engine via the Openclaw Skills interface.
- The remote engine compiles the source, resolves all dependencies, and generates the PDF output.
- The skill receives a base64-encoded string representing the PDF, which can then be decoded and saved to the local file system.
Typst & LaTeX Compiler Setup
To get started with this skill, ensure you have a standard environment capable of making HTTPS requests. No local compiler installation is required as the heavy lifting is handled via API. Verify the service status using the following command:
curl -X GET https://studio-intrinsic--typetex-compile-app.modal.run/public/compile/health
For a basic Typst compilation, you can use a simple curl command:
curl -X POST https://studio-intrinsic--typetex-compile-app.modal.run/public/compile/typst \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"content": "#set page(paper: \"a4\")\n= Created via Openclaw Skills\nThis is a Typst document.",
"main_filename": "main.typ"
}' | jq -r '.pdf_base64' | base64 -d > output.pdf
Typst & LaTeX Compiler Data Schema & Taxonomy
The skill utilizes a structured JSON schema for managing compilation tasks. Below is the organization of the input and output data:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
content |
The raw text of the main source file to be compiled. |
main_filename |
The entry point filename (e.g., main.typ or main.tex). |
auxiliary_files |
An object containing additional assets. Keys are filenames, values are content (base64 for binaries). |
success |
A boolean indicating if the compilation was successful. |
pdf_base64 |
The resulting PDF file encoded in base64 format. |
error |
Detailed error message returned if compilation fails. |
log_output |
(LaTeX only) The full compilation log for debugging purposes. |
Typst & LaTeX Compiler Advanced Features
- Support for full multi-file projects using imports, includes, and custom style files.
- High-resolution image support including PNG, JPG, SVG, and PDF formats via base64 encoding.
- Advanced bibliography management using Hayagriva for Typst or BibTeX/BibLaTeX for LaTeX.
- Access to the Tectonic engine for LaTeX, providing modern TeX Live package management.
- Built-in support for complex math equations, TikZ graphics, and PGFPlots.
