# 📚 DocStack SEED

## 🎯 Purpose
Specialized documentation generation toolbox for creating beautiful PDFs including resumes, proposals, Joplin note exports, and timelines.

## 🧰 Tooling Goals
1. **Core Documentation Tools**
   - Pandoc for document conversion
   - PlantUML for UML diagrams
   - Graphviz for diagram rendering
   - Markwhen for timeline creation

2. **PDF Generation Frameworks**
   - Quarto for scientific and technical documents
   - mdBook for book-style documentation
   - Marp for presentation slides
   - Typst for modern typesetting

3. **AI-Assisted Documentation**
   - Joplin CLI for note management and export
   - Code generation tools for AI-assisted writing

4. **Verification & Quality**
   - Document validation and linting
   - Automated testing of document generation workflows

## 🏗️ Implementation Plan
1. Extend from the toolbox-base image
2. Install documentation-specific packages via apt
3. Add documentation tools via aqua where available
4. Install Node.js-based tools via npm/mise
5. Ensure all tools work together in a cohesive workflow
6. Provide comprehensive testing and verification

## 🧪 Testing Expectations
- Verify all documentation tools can generate output
- Test document conversion workflows (Markdown → PDF, etc.)
- Validate diagram generation (PlantUML, Graphviz)
- Confirm timeline creation with Markwhen
- Ensure PDF generation with all frameworks (Quarto, mdBook, Marp, Typst)

## 📚 Documentation Requirements
- Update README with all installed tools and usage examples
- Document common workflows for each tool category
- Provide troubleshooting guidance for PDF generation issues
- Include examples for resumes, proposals, and note exports
