The entire page and Repo just screams AI prompted to build a story and sell a product.

I was trying to figure out the benefits of it and whether the price is justified. After 5 minutes I had still not fond out why I shouldn’t just build on Typst myself and invest the time to build my own templates?

Maybe that could be a bit clearer?

The entire codebase appears to be a wrapper around typst.Compiler - including the PDF support. A wrapper with enterprise templates. An agent skill talking to an http sidecar doesn't seem necessary when the agent can just ... write the python.

I'd love to hear why I'm wrong, because my agents DO shell out to Chrome for pdf generation and it DOES take forever.
