Check before installing. Some of what it can do is expected: a media skill usually calls an AI service over the internet.
Convert various file formats (PDF, Office documents, images, audio, web content, structured data) to Markdown optimized for LLM processing. Use when converting documents to markdown, extracting text from PDFs/Office files, transcribing audio, performing OCR on images, extracting YouTube transcripts, or processing batches of files. Supports 20+ formats including DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, PDF, HTML, EPUB, CSV, JSON, images with OCR, and audio with transcription.

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.
if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'markitdown' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'markitdown' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named markitdown already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/Microck/ordinary-claude-skills' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '1056d293d41a3a3b86518d8ab6ec0a79091ccedb' -- 'skills_all/markitdown' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills_all/markitdown' ~/.agents/skills/'markitdown' && rm -rf "$d"; fi
Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'markitdown' ~/.claude/skills/'markitdown' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
