doc-reader

Skill0 starsChanged 3 months agoMITView on GitHub

Extracts plain text from office and web documents with zero dependencies — docx, pptx, xlsx, html, markdown, and plain text, using only Python's stdlib (zipfile + xml.etree). No LibreOffice, no python-docx, no network. PDF delegates to pdftotext when installed, reporting honestly when it is not. Use when an agent needs to read, summarize, or compare documents without installing document tooling.

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.

Doc Reader

Office files are ZIPs of XML. This reads them with the stdlib, so an agent can work with documents on any machine with zero installs.

Commands

python3 scripts/doc_reader.py report.docx
python3 scripts/doc_reader.py slides.pptx --json
python3 scripts/doc_reader.py data.xlsx | head -50
python3 scripts/doc_reader.py page.html notes.md book.pdf

Supported formats

Format	How	Notes
`.docx`	ZIP + word/document.xml paragraphs	headings preserved as paragraphs
`.pptx`	ZIP + ppt/slides/slideN.xml	per-slide text, slide count
`.xlsx`	ZIP + shared strings + sheet rows	tab-separated rows
`.html`/`.htm`	html.parser, scripts/styles stripped	clean readable text
`.md`/`.txt`	raw text	passthrough
`.pdf`	delegates to `pdftotext`	honest error if not installed

Exit codes

0 = all files read, 1 = some failed, 2 = all failed or unsupported format. Corrupt files (bad ZIP, malformed XML) are reported as corrupt, not silently skipped.

Pairs with

resume-audit (convert a PDF resume with doc-reader first, then audit), seo-audit (read the HTML doc-reader extracts, then score it).

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.
