# MarkItDown Skill

Documentation and utilities for converting documents to Markdown using Microsoft's [MarkItDown](https://github.com/microsoft/markitdown) library.

## When to Use

**Use markitdown for:**
- 📄 Fetching documentation (README, API docs)
- 🌐 Converting web pages to markdown
- 📝 Document analysis (PDFs, Word, PowerPoint)
- 🎬 YouTube transcripts
- 🖼️ Image text extraction (OCR)
- 🎤 Audio transcription

## Quick Start

```bash
# Convert file to markdown
markitdown document.pdf -o output.md

# Convert URL
markitdown https://example.com/docs -o docs.md
```

## Supported Formats

| Format | Features |

| PowerPoint | Slides, text |
| Excel | Tables, sheets |

## Installation

The skill requires Microsoft's `markitdown` CLI:

pip install 'markitdown[all]'
```

Or install specific formats only:

```

## Common Patterns

### Fetch Documentation

```bash
markitdown document.pdf -o document.md
```

### Batch Convert

# Using included script
python ~/.openclaw/skills/markitdown/scripts/batch_convert.py docs/*.pdf -o markdown/ -v

# Or shell loop
for file in docs/*.pdf; do
  markitdown "$file" -o "${file%.pdf}.md"
done
```

## Python API

```python
from markitdown import MarkItDown

md = MarkItDown()
result = md.convert("document.pdf")
print(result.text_content)
```

## Troubleshooting
