Read excerpt

Turn “things” (URLs, PDFs, Word docs, PowerPoints, HTML pages, text files, etc.) into **Markdown** so they can be inspected/quoted/processed like normal text.

`markitdown` can fetch URLs by itself; this skill mainly wraps it to make saving + summarizing convenient.
For PDF inputs, use the `markitdown[pdf]` extra (or the wrapper below, which now does this automatically).

## When to use

Use this skill when you need to:
- pull down a web page as a document-like Markdown representation
- convert binary docs (PDF/DOCX/PPTX) into Markdown for analysis
- quickly produce a short summary of a long document before deeper work
