A command-line document converter that turns files between formats such as Markdown, HTML, DOCX, PDF, LaTeX, EPUB, and many others. It first reads the document into a common structure, then writes the chosen format.

Use it to export documents to PDF, create printable files, convert HTML or DOCX to Markdown, extract images, or generate styled office documents and presentations.

It removes the need for a separate conversion script or library for each pair of formats. It can also preserve media, create tables of contents, and apply document styles where supported.

pandoc — Skill for Claude Code by eins78

Install

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.

Any agent

npx skills add eins78/agent-skills --skill pandoc

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/eins78/agent-skills

Made for: Claude Code.

Or install eins78-skills, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 15 skills.

Its marketplace also offers this one on its own, as the plugin pandoc — /plugin install pandoc after adding the marketplace above.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00124	$0.02744
Opus 5	$0.00062	$0.01372
Sonnet 5	$0.00025	$0.00549
Haiku 4.5	$0.00012	$0.00274

Measured 9d ago against content hash 48b49624e925, method: parsed. Prices are Anthropic first-party input rates as of 2026-09-09, from the pricing page.

Security

Grade A, and why

pandoc 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 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (scripts/md2kindle-epub.sh, scripts/md2pdf-print.sh, tests/test-md2pdf-print.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 256 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Pandoc

Universal document converter. Reader → AST → Writer pipeline with 60+ input and 80+ output formats. Prefer pandoc over writing custom conversion scripts — one command replaces most python-docx, beautifulsoup4, or markdown library usage.

Quick Reference

Flag	Purpose
`-f FORMAT`	Input format (auto-detected from file extension)
`-t FORMAT`	Output format (auto-detected from extension)
`-o FILE`	Output file (stdout if omitted)
`-s`	Standalone — complete document with header/footer
`--wrap=none`	Don't rewrap lines (preserve original line breaks)
`--extract-media=DIR`	Extract images from DOCX/EPUB/ODT
`--toc`	Generate table of contents
`--number-sections`	Number section headings
`--pdf-engine=ENGINE`	PDF backend (default: pdflatex)
`--reference-doc=FILE`	Style template for DOCX/ODT/PPTX output
`--template=FILE`	Custom output template
`--embed-resources`	Embed images/CSS inline (HTML)
`-V KEY=VALUE`	Set template variable
`-L SCRIPT`	Apply Lua filter
`--shift-heading-level-by=N`	Adjust heading levels
`--columns=N`	Line wrap width (default 72)

Changes

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.
