How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

The file
Files
markitdown — документ → Markdown
Единый инструмент конвертации готовых документов (PDF, Office, изображения, HTML,
Outlook .msg, CSV, аудио) в Markdown/текст — для чтения, цитирования и подачи в
контекст. Дефолт для всех контуров по правилу §19 глобального CLAUDE.md.
Источник: Microsoft markitdown (https://github.com/microsoft/markitdown), MIT.
Когда применять (дефолт-ON)
Любая задача «превратить готовый документ в Markdown/текст»: прочитать PDF/Office,
процитировать кусок, подать содержимое в контекст модели, быстро глянуть таблицу из
xlsx. Вместо ad-hoc парсера на ходу — markitdown.
Когда НЕ применять (карв-ауты — markitdown НЕ заменяет специализированное)
| Случай | Чем делать |
OCR скан rus+eng, legacy .doc/.ppt/.rtf | скилл doc-extract |
| Семантический поиск по личным докам | приватный RAG-скилл (не публикуется) |
| Спецификация из чертежей | скилл drawings-spec |
| СОЗДАНИЕ/правка документов с форматированием | docx/xlsx/pptx/pdf (markitdown только читает→md, писать не умеет) |
Способы вызова
MCP (внутри сессий Claude Code)
Инструмент convert_to_markdown(uri) — после старта сессии виден как
mcp__markitdown__convert_to_markdown. uri принимает схемы http: / https: /
file: / data:. Пример для локального файла: file:///D:/path/to/doc.pdf.
CLI
C:\Users\<you>\.local\bin\markitdown.exe
markitdown <файл>→ вывод в stdoutmarkitdown <файл> -o out.md→ в файлcat <файл> | markitdownилиmarkitdown < <файл>→ чтение из stdin-x <ext>— подсказка расширения при чтении из stdin-vверсия,-hсправка
Поддерживаемые форматы
PDF, Word .docx, PowerPoint .pptx, Excel .xlsx/.xls, изображения (EXIF + OCR),
HTML, текстовые (CSV/JSON/XML), Outlook .msg, ZIP (рекурсивно), EPub, YouTube-URL
(транскрипт), аудио .mp3/.wav/.m4a (EXIF + транскрипция — требует ffmpeg).
Аудио / ffmpeg
Аудио-ветка (pydub + SpeechRecognition) требует ffmpeg. Установлен ffmpeg 8.1.1
(Gyan.FFmpeg, winget), прописан в User PATH:
C:\Users\<you>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WinGet\Packages\Gyan.FFmpeg_Microsoft.Winget.Source_8wekyb3d8bbwe\ffmpeg-8.1.1-full_build\bin
NB: дочерний процесс markitdown-mcp наследует PATH от Claude Code на старте — аудио
заработает только после перезапуска Claude Code. Прочие форматы ffmpeg не требуют.

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
