What it does

Document Converter is an agent skill from wentorai/Research-Claw. Convert Office documents (PPTX, DOCX, XLSX, PDF, HTML, CSV, JSON, XML, images) to Markdown using Microsoft MarkItDown. Provides the agent with conversion strategies for academic and research workflows.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k 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 Document parsing, PowerPoint presentations and Excel spreadsheets. It works with MarkItDown, Microsoft PowerPoint, Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Word. The repository describes itself as: In the AI era, why can't everyone be a Principal Investigator?

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Document parsing
  • Tasks that involve PowerPoint presentations
  • Tasks that involve Excel spreadsheets

Example prompts

  • “/document-converter”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Docker

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Conference Presentation Analysis
  2. Paper Review from PDF
  3. Data Table Extraction
  4. Batch Literature Processing

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5015be7. 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:

    • markitdown
    • pip

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use pip, 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

Document Converter loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 55 tokens; SKILL.md has 558 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~55
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k

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

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 558 words (~1,305 tokens).

“Convert Office and structured documents to Markdown for LLM consumption using Microsoft MarkItDown.”
