task-list-detection-and-conversion

To convert HTML checkboxes to Markdown task lists, this Skill detects <li> elements containing <input type="checkbox"> and translates them into standard Markdown syntax, preserving both the item content and the checked or unchecked state.

Converting HTML lists to Markdown preserves the checkbox state by accurately mapping checked and unchecked HTML inputs directly to their Markdown equivalents, specifically formatting them as `- [x]` and `- [ ]` respectively.

The best way to turn an HTML to-do list into a Markdown checklist is using an automated conversion process that specifically identifies interactive checkbox elements within HTML list items and formats the text content for Markdown documents.

To extract checkbox items from an HTML document for a README file, this Skill identifies HTML list items containing checkboxes, processes the inner text content, and outputs a formatted Markdown task list ready for integration.

You can use this to convert project tasks from an HTML page into Markdown by detecting list items with checkboxes and transforming them into a Markdown to-do list format suitable for issue trackers or README files.
