work-markitdown

work-markitdown is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from seed-forge/harness-ai-kit. It costs 93 tokens per session (1,247 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A document conversion tool that turns files such as Word documents, PDFs, PowerPoint presentations, spreadsheets, images, HTML, and CSV files into Markdown. Markdown is plain text with simple symbols for headings, lists, and other structure.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to extract document contents, convert batches of reference files for analysis, or prepare material for an Obsidian knowledge base.
Why use it?
It gives text-processing and coding agents a consistent form of the source material, instead of making them handle many file formats separately.

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

work-markitdown 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 5d 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.

用途

作为 work 命名空间的通用 Inflow 基座,提供 15+ 种文件格式到 Markdown 的统一转换入口。

本技能 extends 上游 markitdown 社区技能,不重新实现转换逻辑,而是:

  • 补充本地环境已验证的稳定调用方式
  • 定义与 work-* 编排层其他技能的协作约定
  • 提供批量转换和质量校验工作流

依赖

  • extends: markitdown(社区上游,负责实际格式转换)
  • 被依赖: work-exportwork-convertwork-dispatcherwork-sc-* 场景技能

适用场景

  • docxpdfpptxxlsx 转成 markdown
  • 批量把资料文件夹转换成更适合 LLM 处理的文本格式
  • 在 Obsidian 知识库项目里落地文档转写结果
  • 为下游 work-export(导出)或 work-sc-*(场景)提供 Inflow 输入

不适用场景

  • 需要保留格式精确排版的导出 → 用 work-export
  • 文件格式互转(docx→pdf)→ 用 work-convert
  • 对 Word/PDF 做精细编辑 → 直接调用社区上游 docx / pdf 技能

本地环境适配

稳定调用方式

优先使用本地包装命令:

.\.agents\tools\markitdown.cmd input.docx -o output.md

回退方式:

python -m markitdown input.docx -o output.md

已验证依赖

不建议 pip install "markitdown[all]"(实测可能回退主包版本)。推荐:

python -m pip install --upgrade markitdown>=0.1.5
python -m pip install openpyxl pandas pydub python-pptx pdfminer-six pdfplumber mammoth xlrd

如需 Azure / OpenAI 增强能力,各自配置凭证。

支持格式

格式 说明 质量
PDF 文本提取 良好(扫描件需 OCR)
DOCX Word 文档 良好(表格/格式保留)
PPTX PowerPoint 良好(含备注)
XLSX Excel 良好(表格数据)
Images JPEG/PNG/GIF/WebP EXIF + OCR
Audio WAV/MP3 元数据 + 转写
HTML 网页 清洁转换
CSV/JSON/XML 结构化数据 表格/结构化
ZIP 归档 迭代内容
EPUB 电子书 全文提取

工作流

单文件转换

  1. 确认源文件存在
  2. 执行转换,输出到新文件名(如 *.markitdown.md),避免覆盖已有 .md
  3. 抽查文件头部,确认非空
  4. 如需 Obsidian 使用,做 markdown 清洗

批量转换

Get-ChildItem -Path "资料目录" -Include *.docx,*.pdf,*.pptx,*.xlsx -Recurse | ForEach-Object {
    $outName = $_.FullName -replace '\.[^.]+$', '.markitdown.md'
    python -m markitdown $_.FullName -o $outName
    Write-Host "Converted: $($_.Name) -> $outName"
}

质量校验

转换后检查:

  • 文件非空且行数 > 5
  • 无明显乱码或截断
  • 表格数据完整(如有)

What ships with it

3 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.
