What it does

Docling is an agent skill from zhuzhaoyun/Molio. PRIMARY skill for converting .pdf, .docx, .pptx, .xlsx, .doc, .ppt, .xls, images, and audio/video files (.mp3, .wav, .m4a, .mp4, .mov, etc.) to Markdown. Always prefer this over the docx/pdf/pptx/xlsx/paddleocr skills — docling uses GPU-accelerated OCR + layout detection + table structure extraction for documents, and Whisper ASR for speech-to-text on audio/video. Also supports LaTeX and VTT subtitle files.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including reference files (for example `_meta.json` and `references/cli-reference.md`).

It sits in Documents & Office, covering Document parsing, Speech recognition and synthesis and Transcription. It works with Microsoft Excel, Microsoft PowerPoint, Microsoft Word and LaTeX. The repository describes itself as: A local-first personal knowledge layer for AI agents. Build evolving knowledge spaces with LLM Wiki, knowledge graphs, and agent workflows.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b2c9973. 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:
- pip
- python
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:
- hf-mirror.com
- pypi.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn
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

Docling loads about 2.6k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 105 tokens; SKILL.md has 738 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~105
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~2.6k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them: ~3.5k

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 738 words (~2,596 tokens).

“CLI tool that uses AI models (layout detection, OCR, table extraction) to convert documents into clean, structured Markdown.”
