What it does

Document Conversion is an agent skill from Harryoung/efka. Convert DOC/DOCX/PDF/PPT/PPTX documents to Markdown format. Automatically detect PDF type (electronic/scanned), extract images to separate directory. Use this Skill when administrator onboards non-Markdown documents. Trigger condition: Onboard DOC/DOCX/PDF/PPT/PPTX format files.

Its SKILL.md is about 510 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including scripts (for example `FORMATS.md` and `scripts/smart_convert.py`).

It sits in Documents & Office, covering PowerPoint presentations, Word documents and Document parsing. It works with Microsoft PowerPoint and Microsoft Word. The repository describes itself as: AI-powered knowledge management without vector embeddings. Built upon Claude Agent SDK, File system based, Agent driven. Maybe slower, but results are much more reliable! The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

Administrator onboards non-Markdown documents
Condition: Onboard DOC/DOCX/PDF/PPT/PPTX format files

Example prompts

“/document-conversion”

Requirements

Python 3

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

Execute conversion command (must use --original-name and --json-output)
Parse JSON output, check success field
If success: false, report error and end
If success: true, record generated file path and image directory

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9e6d3a4. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- python
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Document Conversion loads about 505 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 75 tokens; SKILL.md has 155 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~75
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~505

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

name: document-conversion
description: Convert DOC/DOCX/PDF/PPT/PPTX documents to Markdown format. Automatically detect PDF type (electronic/scanned), extract images to separate directory. Use this Skill when administrator onboards non-Markdown documents. Trigger condition: Onboard DOC/DOCX/PDF/PPT/PPTX format files.

Document Format Conversion

Convert various document formats to Markdown for knowledge base onboarding.

Supported Formats

Format	Processing Method
DOCX	Pandoc conversion, preserve formatting and images
DOC	LibreOffice → DOCX → Pandoc
PDF Electronic	PyMuPDF4LLM fast conversion
PDF Scanned	PaddleOCR-VL online OCR
PPTX	pptx2md professional conversion
PPT	LibreOffice → PPTX → pptx2md

Usage

bash

python .claude/skills/document-conversion/scripts/smart_convert.py \
    <temp_path> \
    --original-name "<original_filename>" \
    --json-output

Parameters:

<temp_path>: Temporary file path (e.g. /tmp/kb_upload_xxx.pptx)
--original-name: Must pass original filename, used to generate correct image directory name
--json-output: Output JSON format result

Output Format

json

{
  "success": true,
  "markdown_file": "/path/to/output.md",
  "images_dir": "original_filename_images",
  "image_count": 5,
  "input_file": "/path/to/input.pptx"
}

Processing Flow

Execute conversion command (must use --original-name and --json-output)
Parse JSON output, check success field
If success: false, report error and end
If success: true, record generated file path and image directory

Important Notes

Image directory uses original filename naming (e.g. 培训资料_images/)
Not passing --original-name will cause incorrect image reference paths
PDF type is automatically detected, scanned version processing is slower (tens of seconds to minutes)

Format Details

Detailed processing instructions for each format, see FORMATS.md
