MastersThesis/.claude/commands/word-generation.md

Generate the Word document for this Master's Thesis project.

Instructions

Execute the TFM document generation pipeline in order:

Step 0: Clean Up Previous Output

Remove the entire thesis_output folder to ensure a fresh build:

rm -rf thesis_output && mkdir -p thesis_output/figures

Step 1: Generate Figures from Mermaid Diagrams

Run the figure generation script using the virtual environment:

source .venv/bin/activate && python3 generate_mermaid_figures.py

Input: Mermaid code blocks from docs/*.md Output: thesis_output/figures/figura_*.png and figures_manifest.json

Notes:

• Bar charts (xychart-beta) are automatically post-processed to use light blue (#0098CD) bars
• The script generates SVG first, replaces default colors, then converts to PNG via cairosvg
• Other diagram types (flowchart, sequence, pie) use direct PNG generation via mmdc

Step 2: Apply Content to UNIR Template

Run the content application script using the virtual environment:

source .venv/bin/activate && python3 apply_content.py

Input:

• instructions/plantilla_individual.htm (UNIR template)
• instructions/plantilla_individual_files/ (template support files)
• docs/*.md (chapter content)
• thesis_output/figures/*.png (generated figures)

Output: thesis_output/ (htm + support files + figures)

Step 3: Report Results

After successful execution, provide:

1. Number of figures generated
2. Number of tables formatted
3. Path to output file
4. Instructions for Word finalization:
   • Open thesis_output/plantilla_individual.htm in Microsoft Word
   • Press Ctrl+A then F9 to update all indices (contents, figures, tables)
   • Adjust image sizes if needed (select image → right-click → Size and Position)
   • Save as .docx

Prerequisites

If scripts fail, check that dependencies are installed:

# Python dependencies (in .venv)
source .venv/bin/activate && pip install beautifulsoup4 cairosvg

# Mermaid CLI for figure generation
npm install @mermaid-js/mermaid-cli

Notes

• Bar chart colors: The generate_mermaid_figures.py script automatically converts xychart-beta bar colors to UNIR light blue (#0098CD). This is done via SVG post-processing since Mermaid's xychart theming doesn't work reliably via config files.
• Color replacement: Both fill and stroke attributes are replaced for colors #ECECFF and #FFF4DD (default Mermaid bar colors).
• Config file: mermaid.config.json in root directory sets the base theme for all diagrams.

Error Handling

• If generate_mermaid_figures.py fails: Check mmdc (mermaid-cli) is installed
• If apply_content.py fails: Check beautifulsoup4 is installed
• Report any errors with the specific step that failed
