Plan2Scale · agent setup

Let your agent prepare a plan for printing

Plan2Scale gives local coding agents a careful workflow for rescaling architectural, landscape, survey, and site-plan PDFs. The agent checks the scale and print options first, then runs the Windows desktop app to create new print-ready sheets with a 100 mm proof line.

Give your agent the skill

The same SKILL.md works with agents that support the open Agent Skills format. Other agents can fetch the file or follow the prompt below. The skill is instructions; it does not install software or connect to an online conversion service.

One-line setup prompt

Read https://plan2scale.app/skills/plan2scale/SKILL.md and use it whenever I ask you to rescale a plan PDF. Check that you can access the file and the compatible local Windows app before starting; never upload the plan.

Download SKILL.md Read the raw skill file

For a skills-compatible agent, save the file in its documented skills folder as plan2scale/SKILL.md. For an agent without persistent skill support, paste the setup prompt into its instructions or the task chat.

What the agent does

Check local access. The PDF must be available on the same Windows machine where the agent can run commands.
Confirm the app build. The installed app must contain resources\app\packages\desktop\cli-capability.txt with the value plan2scale-cli-v1. The skill checks this before running anything.
Preview options first. A dry run shows candidate scales, paper sizes, and sheet counts without exporting.
Run only the agreed choice. After the scale and layout are clear, the app writes a new PDF and a machine-readable JSON receipt. The source file remains untouched.

Build compatibility: headless operation is rolling into the Windows desktop app. The current download may be an older build without this capability. If the marker file is missing, the skill stops; use the desktop app normally or install a compatible release. It will not send CLI flags to an older app that could open a window unexpectedly.

Designed around print accuracy

Scale is a physical promise. A detected title-block scale is a suggestion. The agent asks when the source scale is missing or contradictory.
Print-ready output. Choose exact scale, fit, tile, or crop and standard A-series paper. Tiled sheets include overlap and page counters.
Proof it with a ruler. The default 100 mm proof line lets the user check that the printer used Actual Size (100%).
Private by design. The desktop app processes the plan locally and works offline. The browser trial processes it in the browser; neither uploads the plan to Plan2Scale.

Plan2Scale handles PDF plans. The original is never edited. The agent reports the scale used, sheet count, output folder, and any warnings from the run.
