At a glance

This skill handles file format conversions across documents (PDF, DOCX, Markdown, HTML, TXT), data files (JSON, CSV, YAML, XML, TOML), and images (PNG, JPG, WebP, SVG, GIF).

  • Works in 6 steps: Identify source format (from file… → Identify target format → Check references/ for format-specific… → …
  • The user requests converting
  • SKILL.md covers Overview, Conversion Categories, Workflow and Quick Patterns, plus 1 more section
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

File Converter is an agent skill from aiskillstore/marketplace. This skill handles file format conversions across documents (PDF, DOCX, Markdown, HTML, TXT), data files (JSON, CSV, YAML, XML, TOML), and images (PNG, JPG, WebP, SVG, GIF). Use when the user requests converting, transforming, or exporting files between formats. Generates conversion code dynamically based on the specific request.

Its SKILL.md is about 900 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including reference files (for example `references/data-conversions.md`, `references/document-conversions.md` and `references/image-conversions.md`).

It sits in Documents & Office, covering Word documents, CSV and tabular files and Markdown. It works with Microsoft Word and pypdf. The repository describes itself as: Security-audited skills for Claude, Codex & Claude Code. One-click install, quality verified.

When your agent uses it

  • The user requests converting
  • Exporting files between formats

Example prompts

  • “/file-converter”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. Identify source format (from file extension or user statement)
  2. Identify target format
  3. Check references/ for format-specific guidance
  4. Generate conversion code using recommended library
  5. Handle edge cases (encoding, transparency, nested structures)
  6. Execute conversion and report results

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 755bc35. 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 (its code samples are 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

File Converter loads about 895 tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 87 tokens; SKILL.md has 250 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~87
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~895
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~3.4k

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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 250 words (~895 tokens).

“Convert files between formats across three categories: documents, data files, and images. Generate Python code dynamically for each conversion request, selecting appropriate libraries and handling edge cases.”
