Claude Code runs PDF generation in terminal
Pipe your HTML output directly into `convert_html_to_pdf`. Claude Code handles the conversion as part of your CI/CD script or CLI task. It removes the need for a GUI when you need to batch-process docs. Your terminal stays focused on the output.
Claude Code captures URLs for testing
Use `convert_url_to_pdf` to archive web pages during your build process. Claude Code executes the tool and saves the document to your filesystem. This is perfect for automated testing or documenting web states. It runs silently in the background of your session.
Monitor cloudlayer.io status in Claude Code
Check your account health with `get_cloudlayer_usage_stats` before starting a big job. Claude Code reports the numbers back to your terminal session. Avoid hitting limits by checking your status first. It keeps your automation scripts from failing unexpectedly.
