markdown-converter is an agent skill that converts PDF, Office, spreadsheet, web, media, archive, YouTube, and EPub inputs to Markdown using markitdown for LLM workflows.
About
markdown-converter is an agent skill that wraps markitdown to convert heterogeneous files into Markdown. Developers use it when raw inputs—client PDFs, slide decks, spreadsheets, scraped HTML, or archived ZIP bundles—block an agent from quoting, diffing, or chunking content. The skill is invoked explicitly when you need conversion before summarization, spec extraction, or RAG indexing, rather than as a background formatter. It fits developers shipping agent-first products, content pipelines, or internal tools that must treat documents as first-class context. Placement on Build → docs reflects the usual handoff: ingest → normalize to Markdown → feed planning, implementation, or support bots. It also appears in Idea and Validate when you analyze market PDFs or pricing spreadsheets without retyping them.
- Converts PDF, Word (.docx), PowerPoint (.pptx), Excel (.xlsx/.xls), HTML, CSV, JSON, and XML via markitdown
- Supports images (EXIF/OCR), audio (transcription), ZIP archives, YouTube URLs, and EPub sources
- Optimized for LLM processing and downstream text analysis—not just human-readable export
- Single skill trigger covers the full format matrix from the description
- Pairs with research and validation when competitor decks or datasheets arrive as binary Office/PDF files

What it does
Turn PDFs, Office files, spreadsheets, HTML, media, and archives into clean Markdown so your coding agent can search, summarize, and reason over source material.
Who is it for?
Best when you're feeding mixed document types into Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex before analysis or implementation.
Skip if: Skip if you only need one-off human viewing of a PDF with no agent or text pipeline downstream.
When should I use this skill?
Converting PDF, Word, PowerPoint, Excel, HTML, CSV, JSON, XML, images (EXIF/OCR), audio (transcription), ZIP archives, YouTube URLs, or EPubs to Markdown for LLM processing or text analysis.
What you get
You get normalized Markdown files ready for summarization, search, and agent reasoning without manual copy-paste.
- Markdown files derived from source documents
- Text suitable for LLM chunking and analysis

FAQ
Who is markdown-converter for?
Developers and developers who routinely ingest client documents, research PDFs, or data exports and want their coding agent to work from Markdown.
When should I use markdown-converter?
During Idea when competitor PDFs need summarizing; during Validate when pricing or scope lives in Excel/Word; during Build when specs, APIs, or runbooks must become agent-readable Markdown.
Is markdown-converter safe to install?
Review the Security Audits panel on this Prism page and treat OCR, transcription, and URL fetch paths as network- and filesystem-touching before enabling in sensitive repos.
