Convert PDF, Office, HTML, data, media, ZIP to Markdown.

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

1 rule. 0 are common, 0 are distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.

  • 0

    Common

    Most of the 3 edited versions we read keep these.

  • 0

    Distinctive

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 1

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Very specific
  1. Very specific:

    When uvx is missing, run pipx run 'markitdown[all]' … with the same arguments.

    line 40

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 3 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Markdown Converter

Convert a file to Markdown with markitdown, zero install:

uvx 'markitdown[all]' input.pdf -o output.md   # to file
uvx 'markitdown[all]' input.docx               # to stdout
cat blob | uvx 'markitdown[all]' -x .pdf       # stdin, with extension hint

When uvx is missing, run pipx run 'markitdown[all]' … with the same arguments. First run downloads dependencies; later runs hit the cache. Output preserves headings, tables, lists, and links.

For video transcripts, use the video-transcript skill.

Error handling

Garbled or empty text from a scanned PDF

Cause: page is an image; the base extractor reads text layers only. Solution: render pages to images (pdftoppm), then convert the images so OCR runs.

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.
