What its author says it does

Copied from the file, not written here

Generate a DOE Current and Pending (Other) Support PDF from SciENcv C&P(O)S XML. Use this skill whenever the user wants to convert C&P(O)S XML to PDF, generate a PDF from current and pending support XML, or produce a printable DOE C&P(O)S form from XML data. Also trigger when the user mentions "current and pending" together with "PDF" and "XML", or wants to render/print a C&P(O)S XML file.

DOE C&P(O)S XML to PDF Converter

Generate a DOE Current and Pending (Other) Support PDF from a SciENcv-compatible C&P(O)S XML file, reproducing the standard DOE form layout.

When this skill applies

The user has a SciENcv C&P(O)S XML file (with <profile> root containing <support> entries) and wants a formatted PDF matching the official DOE C&P(O)S form.

Dependencies

This skill requires Python with the reportlab library for PDF generation.

Preferred: pip install reportlab

Alternatives (if reportlab is unavailable):

fpdf2 — lighter weight, simpler API: pip install fpdf2
weasyprint — HTML/CSS to PDF, more flexible styling but heavier install: pip install weasyprint

If using an alternative library, you'll need to adapt the bundled script or write equivalent PDF generation code following the layout described below.

Workflow

Step 1: Install dependencies

Check if reportlab is available. If not, install it:

pip install reportlab

Step 2: Find the XML file

Look in the current working directory for an XML file containing C&P(O)S data. The file should have a <profile> root element with <funding> > <support> children.

Step 3: Run the bundled script

This skill includes a Python script at scripts/generate_pdf.py that handles the full conversion. Run it with:

python <skill-path>/scripts/generate_pdf.py <input.xml> [output.pdf]

If output.pdf is omitted, the script will use the same base name as the input with a .pdf extension.

Step 4: Report results

Tell the user the output PDF path and how many support entries were rendered.

PDF layout reference

The generated PDF reproduces the standard DOE C&P(O)S form (SCV C&P(O)S v.2025-1):

Page header: "Effective 05/01/2025 | DOE C&P(O)S | OMB-3145-0279 and 1910-0400"
Title block: "CURRENT AND PENDING (OTHER) SUPPORT INFORMATION" (centered, bold) with subtitle about providing information for senior/key personnel
Identification fields: NAME, POSITION TITLE, ORGANIZATION AND LOCATION (each as a labeled line with horizontal rules)
Section header: "Proposals and Active Projects" (bold, underlined)
Each support entry: Right-aligned bold labels with values, including: Project Title, Status of Support, Proposal/Award Number, Source of Support, Primary Place of Performance, Start Date, End Date, Total Amount
Person Months table: Two-column table (Year | Person Months)
Overall Objectives: Bold label followed by paragraph text
Statement of Potential Overlap: Bold label followed by text
Page footer: "SCV C&P(O)S v.2025-1" (left) and "Page X of Y" (right)
