What problem does it solve?
It turns long or binary sources like web pages, PDFs, and Office documents into readable Markdown so you can inspect, quote, and process the content, optionally producing a focused summary.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Fetch and convert: Converts a URL or local file into Markdown using markitdown (with PDF support enabled via the markitdown[pdf] extra).
- Optional focused summaries: When enabled, summarizes the converted Markdown with a provided prompt for the specific audience and extracted information you care about.
- Convenient inspection workflow: Can write the full converted Markdown to a temp file and show its path as a hint for follow-up reading.
Quick Start
Convert a PDF, Word doc, HTML page, or URL into Markdown and immediately summarize it for your chosen focus by running the skill wrapper with --summary and your instruction prompt.
