What it does
Markdown Converter is an agent skill from notque/vexjoy-agent. Convert PDF, Office, HTML, data, media, ZIP to Markdown.
Its SKILL.md is about 480 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 PDF. The repository describes itself as: VexJoy AI Agent with Jev Intelligent Routing - /do routes plain-English requests to the right specialist agent and gates the work with reviews, tests, and a learning loop. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Markdown
- Tasks that involve PDF
Example prompts
- “/markdown-converter”
Requirements
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash, Read
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5218674. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
BashRead
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
uvxpipx
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use uvx and pipx, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
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
Markdown Converter loads about 475 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 19 tokens; SKILL.md has 140 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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: notes
The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.
- NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
allowed-tools: Bash, Read
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.

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 hintWhen 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.
Formats
| Input | Notes |
|---|---|
| PDF, .docx, .pptx, .xlsx, .xls | Document structure preserved |
| HTML, CSV, JSON, XML | Structured Markdown |
| Images | EXIF metadata + OCR text |
| Audio | EXIF metadata + speech transcription |
| ZIP, EPub | Iterates contents, converts each |
Options
| Flag | Effect |
|---|---|
-o FILE | Write output to FILE |
-x .EXT | Extension hint for stdin input |
-m MIME | MIME-type hint |
-c CHARSET | Charset hint, e.g. UTF-8 |
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.
© notque, MIT. Rendered from Markdown: HTML in the file is shown as text, images as links, and headings moved down two levels. Raw file
