report - Professional report (color)
minimal - Ink-saving (B&W)

Step 3: Execute print

For markdown files:

cd ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} && node scripts/paper.mjs "<file_path>" --template <template>

For conversations:

# Print the latest conversation
cd ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} && node scripts/paper.mjs --conversation --latest --template <template>

# Print a specific conversation file
cd ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} && node scripts/paper.mjs --conversation "<path_to_jsonl>" --template <template>
