- description:
- Use when asked to summarize, read, or convert a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, HTML file, or URL — converts to Markdown via markitdown, with an optional model-written summary.
Turn “things” (URLs, PDFs, Word docs, PowerPoints, HTML pages, text files, etc.) into Markdown so they can be inspected/quoted/processed like normal text.
markitdown can fetch URLs by itself; this skill mainly wraps it to make saving + summarizing convenient.
The wrapper uses the markitdown[pdf] extra automatically, so PDF inputs just work.
When to use
Use this skill when you need to:
- pull down a web page as a document-like Markdown representation
- convert binary docs (PDF/DOCX/PPTX) into Markdown for analysis
- quickly produce a short summary of a long document before deeper work
Quick usage
Convert a URL or file to Markdown
The wrapper works from any cwd:
node "$HOME/dotfiles/agents/skills/summarize/to-markdown.mjs" <url-or-path> --tmp
--tmpwrites Markdown to a temp file and prints the path.--out <file>writes to a specific file instead.- Without either, Markdown goes to stdout (raw
uvx --from 'markitdown[pdf]' markitdown <url-or-path>does the same).
If conversion fails (auth-walled or JS-heavy pages, unsupported formats), fall back to fetching/reading the source directly or ask the user.
Convert + summarize with haiku-4-5 (pass context!)
Summaries are only useful when you provide what you want extracted and the audience/purpose.
node "$HOME/dotfiles/agents/skills/summarize/to-markdown.mjs" <url-or-path> --summary --prompt "Summarize focusing on X, for audience Y. Extract Z."
This will:
- convert to Markdown via
uvx --from 'markitdown[pdf]' markitdown - write the full Markdown to a temp
.mdfile and print its path as a "Hint" line (always — so you can open/inspect the full content) - run
pi --model claude-haiku-4-5(no-tools, no-session) to summarize using your extra prompt (--summary-promptis an alias for--prompt)

Use when a question needs current internet information — docs, news, releases, prices. Prefer a built-in web search tool for quick lookups if the harness has one; this script returns a model-summarized answer with source URLs and works without one.
