anydoc is a Rust library and command-line tool that converts Word, PowerPoint, Excel, OpenDocument, RTF, EPUB, CSV, and PDF files into GitHub-Flavored Markdown. Developers use it to make document content available to programs and language models through Rust, Node.js, Python, or WebAssembly. Its catalogue skill teaches coding agents to run anydoc when they need to read supported documents.
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.

SkillSpector: 3 findings, up to medium
These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

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 | $0.00086 | $0.00534 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00034 | $0.00214 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00017 | $0.00107 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00053 |
Grade A, and why
convert-documents-to-markdown 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 1mo 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
Convert documents to Markdown
Run the anydoc CLI. It needs Node 20+ and no install:
npx -y @firecrawl/anydoc <file> # Markdown to stdout
npx -y @firecrawl/anydoc <file> -o out.md # write to a file
npx -y @firecrawl/anydoc - --format csv < f # read stdin
Rules:
- Supported inputs:
.doc,.docx,.docm,.odt,.rtf,.epub,.pdf,.ppt,.pps,.pot,.pptx,.pptm,.ppsx,.ppsm,.odp,.xls,.xlsx,.xlsm,.xlsb,.ods,.csv. - The format is detected from the file content. Pass
--format <name>only when detection cannot work: CSV from stdin, or a missing or wrong extension. - Exit codes: 0 success, 1 the document could not be converted, 2 usage error, 3 pages of a PDF need OCR. Failures print one
anydoc: <message>line to stderr. The CLI never prompts. - For a large document, write to a file with
-oand read the parts you need instead of streaming everything into context. - Scanned and image-only pages need OCR, which anydoc does not do, so the document exits 3. Rerun with
--ocr hostedto send it to Firecrawl Parse. No signup needed. Pass--api-keyor setFIRECRAWL_API_KEYfor higher limits. - Inside a Node, Python, or Rust codebase, prefer the library over shelling out:
@firecrawl/anydocon npm,firecrawl-anydocon PyPI,anydocon crates.io. Each exposes the sameto_markdown/toMarkdownAPI.
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.

convert-documents-to-markdown is a skill published in the GitHub repository firecrawl/anydoc (23,088 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 86 tokens to every session and 534 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
