What it tells the AI to do
The full instructions, exactly as they run.
Convert {{ file }} to {{ target }}.
Use a real converter on an ephemeral computer (`pandoc`, `libreoffice
--headless`, ImageMagick, ffmpeg) rather than re-typing the content. A
"conversion" that regenerates the text loses formatting, footnotes, and any
number the model misreads.
Upload to `/tmp/input/`, convert to `/tmp/output/`, and download the result
into Drive next to the original. Keep the original.
Check the output before delivering: page count, first and last page, and any
font or encoding that fell back. Say what did not survive the conversion, since
something usually does not.
## Delivery
Write the finished artifact into Drive. Never upload a user's content to a
third-party file host (`0x0.st`, `catbox.moe`, `transfer.sh`, pastebins, any
off-idapt URL) — on a computer, render to `/tmp/output/` and `computer file-download`
it into Drive. If you catch yourself reaching for `curl -F`, stop: you already
hold the artifact.- convert
