Markdown Converter

Name: Markdown Converter
Author: steipete

Description

Convert documents and files to Markdown using markitdown. Use when converting PDF, Word (.docx), PowerPoint (.pptx), Excel (.xlsx, .xls), HTML, CSV, JSON, XML, images (with EXIF/OCR), audio (with transcription), ZIP archives, YouTube URLs, or EPubs to Markdown format for LLM processing or text analysis.

Usage Guidance

Use local conversion for sensitive files when possible. Only enable Azure Document Intelligence or `--use-plugins` when the document is approved for that provider or plugin, and consider pinning or reviewing the markitdown package source if supply-chain control matters.

Capability Analysis

Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: markdown-converter Version: 1.0.0 The skill bundle is benign. It provides instructions for converting various file types to Markdown using the `uvx markitdown` utility. All commands and options described in `SKILL.md` are directly related to this stated purpose, including local file operations and an optional integration with Azure Document Intelligence for enhanced PDF extraction. There is no evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, persistence mechanisms, or prompt injection attempts against the AI agent.

Capability Assessment

✓ Purpose & Capability

The artifact consistently describes converting user-selected documents, archives, media, URLs, and data files to Markdown using markitdown; no unrelated or hidden behavior appears in the skill text.

ℹ Instruction Scope

The instructions are user-run command examples. Optional Azure Document Intelligence and third-party plugin flags broaden the trust boundary, but they are visibly optional and tied to the conversion purpose.

ℹ Install Mechanism

There is no bundled installer or background setup, but the skill relies on `uvx markitdown`, which may fetch and cache external package dependencies on first use.

ℹ Credentials

Reading input files and writing Markdown output is proportionate. If the Azure option is used, selected document content may be processed by the configured Azure endpoint, which deserves user awareness.

✓ Persistence & Privilege

The artifact requests no elevated privileges, autostart, credential-store access, long-running worker, or persistent agent behavior beyond ordinary dependency caching.
