Finish Document

Master pipeline that compiles, reviews, fixes, and finalizes any supported document type.

Format Detection

Determine file type from extension:

• .typ → Typst document (slides, docs, guides, CVs)
• .qmd → Quarto RevealJS slides
• .py → Python script

Note: For .tex (LaTeX/Beamer), configure the finish pipeline at project level.

For .typ files, also detect document type from content:

• Contains #import "@preview/polylux" or #import "@preview/touying" → Typst slides
• Contains #import "@local/qk" → Uses qk component library
• Otherwise → Typst document

Pipeline Phases

Phase 0: Detect File Type

• Parse $ARGUMENTS, resolve file path
• Detect format from extension and content

Phase 1: Compile + Visual Spot-Check

Step 1 — Compile:

• Route to /compile with the detected format
• Hard gate: exit code must be 0. Do not proceed until compilation succeeds.

Step 2 — Determine sample pages:

• Documents <=3 pages → all pages
• Documents >3 pages → page 1, middle page, last page
• Presentations <30 slides → all slides
• Presentations 30+ → first 3, middle 3, last 3

Step 3 — Render PNGs:

typst compile FILE.typ /tmp/finish-preview-{0p}.png --pages [SAMPLE]

Step 4 — Visual inspection:

• Read each PNG with the Read tool
• Apply the full visual checklist from typst/references/visual-verification.md:
  • Content overflow / cut off?
  • Blank half-pages?
  • Font fallback squares (missing font)?
  • Missing images / broken references?
  • Cramped text / unbalanced layout?
  • Heading hierarchy consistent?
  • Table headers repeating across pages?

Step 5 — Record issues for Phase 1.5 or Phase 3 fix list.

Phase 1.5: Quick Auto-Fix Before Review

If the visual spot-check caught simple issues, fix them now so review agents start from a clean baseline.

Scope: Only fix issues that are:

• Clearly identified in the PNG inspection
• Fixable without design decisions (overflow, missing alt text, font fallback)

Steps:

1. Apply fixes:
   • Overflow → split content, adjust spacing, or reduce font size
   • Missing alt text → add generic alt descriptions
   • Font fallback → switch to documented font stack (see typst skill)
   • Blank half-pages → adjust figure(placement: auto) or page breaks
2. Re-compile: typst compile FILE.typ
3. Re-render affected sample pages to PNG
4. Visually verify fixes resolved the issue AND didn't introduce new ones
5. Max 2 mini-rounds, then proceed to Phase 2 regardless

Phase 2: Parallel Review

• Route to /review with the file
• Collect all agent reports

Phase 3: Fix Critical Issues (max 5 rounds)

For each fix round:

1. Apply fixes — priority order: Critical → Major → Minor
2. Re-compile: typst compile FILE.typ
3. Re-render affected pages to PNG:

   typst compile FILE.typ /tmp/finish-fix-{0p}.png --pages [AFFECTED]
   

4. Visually verify that:
   • Fixes resolved the flagged issue
   • No new visual issues were introduced
5. If new visual issues → add to fix list for next round

Format-specific notes:

For .qmd files:

• Launch quality-fixer agent with critic report
• Re-render after fixes

For .typ files:

• Apply fixes directly via Edit tool
• If typst-reviewer flags "content would benefit from visuals":
  • Call gemini-generate-image MCP for conceptual illustrations
  • Invoke /image-search for real photos/logos

For .py files:

• Apply fixes directly via Edit tool
• Re-run to verify output

Phase 4: Commit Decision

• If score >= 80 AND zero CRITICAL issues → ready to commit
• If score < 80 → report remaining issues, do NOT auto-commit

Phase 5: Summary Report

# Finish Report: [Filename]

## Pipeline Summary
| Phase | Status | Details |
|-------|--------|---------|
| Compile | PASS/FAIL | [output file, warnings] |
| Visual Spot-Check | PASS/[N issues] | [issues found and auto-fixed] |
| Review | [score] | [agent count, issue count] |
| Fix | [rounds] | [issues fixed / remaining] |
| Final Score | [score] | [EXCELLENT/GOOD/NEEDS WORK/POOR] |

## Score Progression
- Initial: [score] ([N] critical, [M] major)
- After auto-fix: [score] ([N] critical, [M] major)
- Final: [score] ([N] critical, [M] major)
- Rounds: [N]

## Fixes Applied
[List of changes made]

## Remaining Issues (if any)
[List issues that could not be auto-fixed]

Iteration Limits

See typst/references/quality-gates.md for authoritative limits.

• Fix rounds: max 5
• Auto-fix mini-rounds (Phase 1.5): max 2
• Verification retries: max 2 per round
• Never loop indefinitely

Important

• For .typ files, visual tool invocation (gemini-generate-image MCP, /image-search) only happens when the reviewer explicitly flags missing visuals
• Always re-compile after fixes to verify they don't break anything
• Always re-render affected pages to PNG after fixes to confirm visual correctness
