Convert a single provided file into a downloadable Markdown file, representing source images and figures as readable text.

What it does

Single File To Markdown is an agent skill from impredicative/podgenai. Convert a single provided file into a downloadable Markdown file, representing source images and figures as readable text. Use when asked to convert a file to Markdown, including preparation of a podgenai source document.

Its SKILL.md is about 170 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Documents & Office, covering Markdown and Text to speech and voice. It works with OpenAI and Python. The repository describes itself as: OpenAI GPT based informational audiobook/podcast mp3 generator. The licence is LGPL-3.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to convert a file to Markdown
  • Including preparation of a podgenai source document

Example prompts

  • “/single-file-to-markdown”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 136ea00. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    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

Single File To Markdown loads about 174 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 61 tokens; SKILL.md has 66 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~61
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~174

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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Single file to markdown

Convert the provided file to a downloadable markdown format file.

Do not include any image from the source into your export. You can instead embed a readable text representation of each image as feasible. For representing figures, you may embed Latex, tables, Mermaid, or any other suitable readable representation. As a fallback, you may alternatively embed a text description of the image.
