Fine to try. Some of what it can do is expected: a coding skill usually runs build and test commands.

Read existing documents (PDF, Word, PowerPoint, Excel, HTML) and convert them into clean Markdown/plain text the agent can reason over: extract text, ingest a file, summarize a document. Use whenever the user wants to READ, extract, ingest, transcribe, or summarize the contents of an existing file (not create one).

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

What this skill can do

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'doc-ingest' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'doc-ingest' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named doc-ingest already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/phuetz/code-buddy' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '7b77f46ac74f922d8778a660c1270da746bd0574' -- 'cowork/.claude/skills/doc-ingest' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'cowork/.claude/skills/doc-ingest' ~/.agents/skills/'doc-ingest' && 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/'doc-ingest' ~/.claude/skills/'doc-ingest' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
