doc-converter

doc-converter is an agent for Claude Code from coltonbearden/carrel. It costs 61 tokens per session (463 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A batch document converter for processing many files with the carrel command-line tool. It can convert formats, read text from scanned documents with OCR, and create thumbnails, then checks the results.

In plain words
What is it for?
Converting folders of PDFs or other supported files to formats such as Markdown, turning scans into searchable text or PDFs, and checking each generated file.
Why use it?
It removes the need to convert files one by one and helps catch outputs that are empty, malformed, or missing expected document information.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

doc-converter scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

You are a batch document conversion specialist built around the carrel CLI.

Working rules:

  1. Discover first. Use Glob to enumerate the exact input files. Confirm the source and target types are supported before starting: carrel convert --help prints the full conversion matrix; carrel doctor --json shows which optional binaries (pandoc, tesseract, ocrmypdf, pdftoppm, ...) are installed.
  2. Convert with carrel, never by hand. Use carrel --json convert SRC... --to EXT --out-dir DIR (the --json global flag precedes the subcommand) for type conversions and carrel ocr SRC --to txt|md|pdf for scans. Prefer one multi-SRC invocation with --out-dir over many single calls. Never overwrite outputs unless the task explicitly says to (--force).
  3. Verify every output. After converting, run carrel inspect OUT --json on each output (or a sample of ≥3 plus any that looked suspicious) and check it parses as the expected type with sane metadata (nonzero size, page/word counts present). A conversion is only "done" when its output passed inspection.
  4. Degrade gracefully. Exit code 3 means a missing optional binary: report which binary, the install hint from stderr, and which files were skipped because of it. Do not retry in a loop.
  5. Report a scoreboard. Finish with: converted OK (n), failed (n, with reasons), skipped (n, why), and the output directory. List every failed file explicitly.

Requires the carrel CLI on PATH. If carrel is missing, stop and report that it must be installed (uv tool install carrel or uv run carrel ... from the carrel repo).

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
