What it does

Office To Md is an agent skill from shuyu-labs/WebCode. Convert Office documents (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF) to Markdown format. ONLY use this skill when the user explicitly requests to CONVERT, TRANSFORM or PARSE a specific office file into Markdown. Do NOT trigger for general questions, documentation reading, or discussions about files.

Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files (for example `doc_converter.py` and `enhanced_parser.py`).

It sits in Documents & Office, covering Excel spreadsheets, PowerPoint presentations and PDF. It works with Microsoft Excel, Microsoft PowerPoint, Python and LibreOffice. The repository describes itself as: WebCode is a browser-based AI coding platform that lets you remotely run CLI assistants like Claude Code and Codex. Code anywhere with just a web browser. We’re also adding an…

When your agent uses it

  • The user explicitly requests to CONVERT
  • PARSE a specific office file into Markdown
  • General questions
  • Documentation reading

Example prompts

  • “/office-to-md”

Requirements

  • Python 3

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 65c1b57. 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 script files (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python
    • pip
    • apt
    • brew

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • libreoffice.org

    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

Office To Md loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 75 tokens; SKILL.md has 246 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
~1k

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.

  • NoteRuns commands with sudoSKILL.md:31
    sudo apt install libreoffice

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

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 246 words (~1,032 tokens).

“Convert various Office document formats to structured Markdown with text, table, and image extraction.”
