- Tasks that involve Markdown
- Tasks that involve PDF
Example prompts
- “/markdown-converter”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 79150cf. 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
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
uvx
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use uvx, 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 525 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 23 tokens; SKILL.md has 96 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 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.

cat document | uvx --from "markitdown[all]" markitdown -x .pdf > output.md
# Use Azure Document Intelligence for better PDF extraction
uvx --from "markitdown[all]" markitdown scan.pdf -d -e "https://your-resource.cognitiveservices.azure.com/"Notes
- Output preserves document structure: headings, tables, lists, links
- First run caches dependencies; subsequent runs are faster
- For complex PDFs with poor extraction, use
-dwith Azure Document Intelligence - If automatic charset detection picks the wrong encoding for a text file, pass
-c UTF-8(or the known charset)
