# Syllabus — Course Supplementary Reading List

> **Portability:** Requires a Consensus MCP connection, Node.js with `docx` package, and file reading capability for the syllabus. Works in Claude Code CLI natively. In Claude.ai with Consensus MCP + Code Execution + file upload, the workflow is supported.

For an instructor or student with a course syllabus, produce a professional supplementary reading list as `.docx` containing recent peer-reviewed papers per course section.

## Architectural Pattern: Bundled Script

This skill uses a **bundled JavaScript helper script** for DOCX generation rather than inlining the 300+ lines of layout code:

- DOCX generation logic is reusable + complex
- Better separation of concerns: skill = orchestration + intelligence; script = mechanical document assembly
- Token-efficient: skill doesn't re-derive layout each run
- Easier to maintain and version
