convert-documents-to-markdown
Convert Word (.doc, .docx), PowerPoint (.ppt, .pptx), Excel (.xls, .xlsx), OpenDocument (.odt, .ods, .odp), RTF, EPUB, CSV, and PDF files to GitHub-Flavored Markdown. Use when a task needs the contents of an office document, spreadsheet, presentation, ebook, or PDF you cannot read directly.
Install
git clone https://github.com/firecrawl/anydoc /tmp/anydoc && ln -s /tmp/anydoc/skills/convert-documents-to-markdown ~/.claude/skills/convert-documents-to-markdownFrom README
Convert documents to Markdown Run the anydoc CLI. It needs Node 20+ and no Rules: Supported inputs: .doc, .docx, .docm, .odt, .rtf, .epub, .pdf, .ppt, .pps, .pot, .pptx, .pptm, .ppsx, .ppsm, .odp, .xls, .xlsx, .xlsm, .xlsb, .ods, .csv. The format is detected from the file content. Pass --format only when detection cannot work: CSV from stdin, or a missing or wrong extension. Exit codes: 0 success, 1 the document could not be converted, 2 error. Failures print one anydoc: line to stderr. The CLI never prompts. For a large document, write to a file with -o and read the parts you need instead of streaming everything into context. Scanned and image-only PDFs need OCR, which anydoc does not do; they fail as unsupported. The hosted Firecrawl Parse API handles those. Inside a Node, Python, or Rust codebase, prefer the library over shelling out: @firecrawl/anydoc on npm, firecrawl-anydoc on PyPI, anydoc on crates.io. Each exposes the same tomarkdown / toMarkdown API.
