Overview
Generate professional-looking PDF invoices from structured JSON input using a CLI script, suitable for integration into automated billing or document-generation workflows.
Key Advantages
1.Straightforward JSON-based schema for invoices, easy to generate programmatically from other systems.
2.Produces PDF files with deterministic filenames and automatic versioning when a file already exists.
3.Supports reusable client or invoice templates via saved JSON configs in a dedicated configs directory.
4.Clear, scriptable CLI interface that can read from stdin, file paths, or named configs, fitting well into pipelines and cron jobs.
5.Basic error signaling via exit codes and stderr messages for invalid JSON or PDF generation failures, enabling robust automation handling.
Use Cases
- Automatically generate invoices from an accounting or time-tracking system that can emit JSON.
- Create standardized invoices for freelancers or small businesses using pre-saved client templates.
- Batch-generate invoices from a list of JSON files as part of an end-of-month billing process.
- Integrate into a larger OpenClaw workflow where upstream tools assemble invoice JSON and this skill handles PDF rendering.
- Regenerate or update prior invoices by editing stored configs and re-running the generation script.

**Quick judgment:** A focused, practical tool for turning well-structured JSON data into professional PDF invoices. It fits naturally into automated or programmatic workflows but expects the caller to manage data correctness and calculations.
**Strengths & advantages**
- Clean separation of responsibilities: you supply validated, computed invoice data; the skill handles layout and PDF generation.
- Works well in pipelines: can read from stdin, file paths, or named configs, and returns the generated PDF path.
- Auto-versioned output filenames prevent accidental overwrites while maintaining predictable paths.
- Clear error codes (invalid JSON vs. PDF generation failure) support robust error handling in larger workflows.
**Risks / limitations**
- Requires strict adherence to the JSON schema; malformed or incomplete data will cause failures.
- No visible built-in logic for computing totals, taxes, or discounts—those must be computed upstream.
- Depends on external tooling (Node.js dependencies and weasyprint); environment misconfiguration will break generation.
- Limited information on customization (branding, multi-language layouts, complex tax regimes), so advanced invoicing scenarios may need template or code changes.
**Recommended scenarios**
- You already have or can easily produce structured invoice JSON from another system and just need a reliable PDF rendering step.
- You want reusable invoice/client templates via JSON configs for repeated, consistent billing.
- You are building an automated billing pipeline in OpenClaw where this skill is the terminal step that outputs a ready-to-send PDF invoice.
