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

pandoc-convert 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 10d 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.

Pandoc Document Converter

This skill converts documents between formats using pandoc. Pandoc supports a wide range of formats including Markdown, HTML, DOCX, EPUB, PDF, RST, LaTeX, ODT, and many more.

Workflow

  1. Identify the input: locate the source file the user wants to convert. If the path is unclear or the file doesn't exist, ask the user to confirm before proceeding.

  2. Identify the output format: if the user hasn't specified a target format, always ask before converting. Don't guess. Example: "In quale formato vuoi convertire il file?" or "What output format do you want?".

  3. Determine the output file name: derive it from the input file name with the appropriate extension (e.g. report.mdreport.docx). Ask the user if they'd prefer a different name or location.

  4. Run pandoc: execute the conversion:

    pandoc "<input_file>" -o "<output_file>"
    

    Pandoc usually auto-detects formats from file extensions, so you rarely need --from or --to unless the extension is ambiguous.

  5. Confirm success: tell the user the output file path and confirm it was created. If the conversion fails, show the pandoc error and suggest a fix (e.g. missing LaTeX engine for PDF, unsupported format combination).

Common format pairs and tips

Input → Output Notes
.md.docx Works out of the box
.md.pdf Requires a LaTeX engine (pdflatex, xelatex) or --pdf-engine=wkhtmltopdf
.docx.md Good for extracting content from Word docs
.html.docx Pandoc handles most HTML well
.rst.html Common for Python docs
.md.epub Works out of the box
.md.html Use --standalone (-s) to get a full HTML page

For PDF output, if a LaTeX engine is not available, suggest --pdf-engine=wkhtmltopdf or converting to HTML first.

Checking available formats

If the user asks what formats are supported:

pandoc --list-input-formats
pandoc --list-output-formats

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.
