html2md

html2md is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from phanghonghao/THU-Awesome-Skills. It costs 118 tokens per session (1,522 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A converter that turns HTML into clean Markdown, with special handling for slide decks and very large files containing embedded images or videos.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to convert slide-based HTML into one Markdown section per slide, extract deck text for review, or process oversized base64-heavy HTML files.
Why use it?
It preserves the structure of slide presentations and avoids wasting time processing large embedded data that is not useful as text.

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

html2md 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 1 executable file (html2md.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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 103 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

html2md — HTML → Markdown (deck-aware, base64-safe)

A stdlib-only converter (html2md.py) tuned for two cases generic converters choke on:

  1. Slide decks — a .slide-per-page HTML presentation. A normal converter flattens it into one wall of text; this one keeps the slide structure and emits ## Slide NN — Title headers.
  2. Huge embedded HTML — decks saved as single .html with every image and video inlined as base64 (often 5–50 MB). markitdown and friends spend minutes decoding megabytes of base64 into useless inline blobs; this strips the data URIs first, then parses.

When to Use

  • User mentions: html2md, /html2md, "html to md", "html→md", "把 deck 转成 markdown", "deck 转 md"
  • You have a slide-style HTML deck (each slide is a <div class="slide"> / <section class="slide">) and want structured per-slide Markdown
  • You have a bloated HTML file (multi-MB) that is mostly base64 — markitdown hangs or produces garbage
  • You want to extract the text content of a deck so an LLM can critique / revise it

When NOT to Use (use a different skill instead)

Need Better skill
Generic non-deck HTML page markitdown (/markitdown) — broad format support
DOCX with math /word2md (correct OMML→LaTeX)
PDF → Markdown /any2md --pdf-backend pymupdf or /pdf-reader
Want to render a deck to PDF (md/html → pdf) /html2pdf
A whole web page from a URL the web_reader MCP tool

How to Use

# Convert, write to a sibling .md file

# Convert, print to stdout
PYTHONIOENCODING=utf-8 python ~/.claude/skills/html2md/html2md.py "deck.html"

# Extract the base64 images/videos to disk and rewrite refs (instead of [IMAGE] placeholders)
PYTHONIOENCODING=utf-8 python ~/.claude/skills/html2md/html2md.py "deck.html" "deck.md" --extract-assets

# Drop [IMAGE]/[VIDEO] placeholders entirely (pure text)

# Flat document — don't try to split slides

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.
