2 things to look at

no licenseNo license file was found in the repository. Code published without one is not open source by default, so using it at work is a question for whoever answers licensing questions where you are.
0 stars0 stars. Stars are a popularity signal and not a quality one, but at this level it is likely that nobody has read this closely except its author, and you would be relying on your own review.

Typst Quick Reference

// Headings
= Title
== Section
=== Subsection

// Emphasis
*bold* _italic_ `code`

// Lists
- Bullet item
+ Numbered item

// Links
#link("https://example.com")[Display text]

// Images
#image("photo.jpg", width: 50%)

// Tables
#table(
  columns: (1fr, 2fr),
  [*Header 1*], [*Header 2*],
  [Cell 1], [Cell 2],
)

// Page setup
#set page(paper: "a4", margin: 2cm)
#set text(font: "Libertinus Serif", size: 11pt)

// Functions
#let accent = rgb("#2563eb")

PAI House Style

Default styling for PAI-generated documents:

// PAI defaults — clean, professional, European
#set page(paper: "a4", margin: (top: 2.5cm, bottom: 2cm, left: 2.5cm, right: 2.5cm))
#set text(font: "Libertinus Serif", size: 11pt, lang: "en")
#set heading(numbering: "1.1")
#set par(justify: true, leading: 0.65em)

#let pai-accent = rgb("#1e3a5f")  // Deep navy
#let pai-light = rgb("#f0f4f8")   // Soft background

Workflows override these defaults per document type (e.g., CV uses sans-serif, letters use larger margins).
