SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires uv.

What problem does it solve? Importing content from PDFs, Office documents, images, audio, EPUBs, ZIP archives, YouTube, and web pages into a Markdown-based wiki normally requires manual copy-paste and reformatting. This Skill converts those sources directly into Markdown notes inside your Wiki Vault. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Multi-format conversion: Handles PDF, DOCX, PPTX, XLSX, images, audio, EPUB, ZIP, YouTube, and web URLs through Microsoft's MarkItDown tool. - Wiki Vault integration: Writes converted output into inbox/imports/ (or a user-chosen location) so imports land in the right Vault. - On-demand execution: Runs via uvx with a pinned MarkItDown version, so no global installation is required. - Use Case: You have a project brief as a DOCX and a reference webpage. Convert both into Markdown files under inbox/imports/ so they become source material for your wiki notes. ## Quick Start Use the markitdown skill to convert the file 'report.pdf' into a Markdown note in my Wiki Vault's inbox/imports folder.

Frequently Asked Questions about markitdown

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I convert a PDF or DOCX file to Markdown?▼

Run the MarkItDown command via uvx with the source path and an output file, for example converting 'report.pdf' to 'inbox/imports/report.md'. The same command works for DOCX, PPTX, XLSX, EPUB, and other supported formats.

Can MarkItDown convert web pages and YouTube videos to Markdown?▼

Yes, MarkItDown accepts URLs as sources, including web pages and YouTube links. Use the same command with the URL in place of a local file path, and only use user-approved URLs.

What file formats does MarkItDown support?▼

MarkItDown supports PDF, DOCX, PPTX, XLSX, images, audio, EPUB, ZIP archives, YouTube, and general web content. All formats are handled through the single pinned markitdown[all]==0.1.7 package.

Does MarkItDown require a global installation?▼

No, MarkItDown is fetched on demand through uvx, so no global markitdown command is installed. The only requirement is that uv is available on the system.

Where does the converted Markdown output go?▼

By default, converted files are written to inbox/imports/ inside the Wiki Vault, created if missing. Run the command from the Wiki root so output stays in that Vault, or specify another user-chosen location.
