What is markdown-tools?

A document-conversion tool that turns PDFs, Word files, PowerPoint files, and Confluence exports into Markdown, including paths shared between Windows and WSL.

Use it to convert documents for notes or knowledge bases, process Confluence exports, and translate Windows file paths into WSL paths.

It avoids manually copying document contents and handles path differences that can make conversion commands fail in WSL, the Linux environment for Windows.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00069	$0.00921
Opus 5	$0.00034	$0.00461
Sonnet 5	$0.00014	$0.00184
Haiku 4.5	$0.00007	$0.00092

Security

Grade A, and why

markdown-tools 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 8d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/convert_path.py), 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.

Markdown Tools

Overview

This skill provides document conversion to markdown with Windows/WSL path handling support. It helps convert various document formats to markdown and handles path conversions between Windows and WSL environments.

Core Capabilities

1. Markdown Conversion

Convert documents to markdown format with automatic Windows/WSL path handling.

2. Confluence Export Processing

Handle Confluence .doc exports with special characters for knowledge base integration.

Quick Start

Convert Any Document to Markdown

# Basic conversion
markitdown "path/to/document.pdf" > output.md

# WSL path example
markitdown "/mnt/c/Users/username/Documents/file.docx" > output.md

See references/conversion-examples.md for detailed examples of various conversion scenarios.

Convert Confluence Export

# Direct conversion for simple exports
markitdown "confluence-export.doc" > output.md

# For exports with special characters, see references/

Path Conversion

Windows to WSL Path Format

Windows paths must be converted to WSL format before use in bash commands.

Conversion rules:

Replace C:\ with /mnt/c/
Replace \ with /
Preserve spaces and special characters
Use quotes for paths with spaces

Example conversions:

# Windows path
C:\Users\username\Documents\file.doc

# WSL path
/mnt/c/Users/username/Documents/file.doc

Helper script: Use scripts/convert_path.py to automate conversion:

python scripts/convert_path.py "C:\Users\username\Downloads\document.doc"

See references/conversion-examples.md for detailed path conversion examples.

Document Conversion Workflows

Workflow 1: Simple Markdown Conversion

For straightforward document conversions (PDF, .docx without special characters):

Convert Windows path to WSL format (if needed)
Run markitdown
Redirect output to .md file

See references/conversion-examples.md for detailed examples.

Workflow 2: Confluence Export with Special Characters

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

markdown-tools is a skill published in the GitHub repository Nikolahuang/nova-cli (14 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 69 tokens to every session and 921 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 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.
