Markdown Converter

Convert files to beautifully formatted Markdown in two steps: convert with uvx markitdown[all], then beautify with configurable style formatting.

Usage

/1coos-markdown-converter <file-path> [--style github|commonmark|clean|obsidian] [--output-dir path] [--convert-only]

Parameters

ParameterRequiredDescription
<file-path>YesPath to the file to convert
--styleNoFormatting style: github (default), commonmark, clean, obsidian
--output-dirNoOutput directory (default: skills/1coos-markdown-converter/output)
--convert-onlyNoOnly convert, skip formatting step
--configNoPath to config.json (default: skill directory config.json)

Supported Formats

  • Web/Data: HTML, CSV, JSON, XML
  • Media: Images (EXIF + OCR), Audio (EXIF + transcription)
  • Other: ZIP (iterates contents), YouTube URLs, EPub

Formatting Styles

github (default)

GitHub Flavored Markdown — table column alignment, fenced code blocks, task lists.

commonmark

Strict CommonMark — enforces sequential heading levels (no skipping h1 to h3).

clean

Minimal style — removes excessive formatting, simplifies redundant links.

obsidian

Obsidian Flavored Markdown — converts internal links to [[wikilinks]], normalizes callout syntax (> [!type]), formats properties/frontmatter, normalizes ==highlight== syntax, and aligns tables. Ideal for notes destined for Obsidian vaults.

Configuration

Core parameters are configurable via config.json in the skill directory:

{
  "style": "github",
  "outputDir": null,
  "convertOnly": false,
  "formatting": {
    "maxWidth": 80,
    "listMarker": "-",
    "emphasisMarker": "*",
    "strongMarker": "**",
    "codeBlockStyle": "fenced"
  },
  "converter": {
    "timeout": 60000,
    "charset": "UTF-8"
  }
}

CLI arguments always override config.json values.

Execution Instructions

When the user invokes this skill:

  1. Check prerequisites: Verify uvx is available. If not, instruct the user to install uv: curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
  2. Run conversion: Execute the script:
    bun run ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/main.ts $ARGUMENTS
    
  3. Report results: Show the output file path and a brief summary of the conversion.
  4. Handle errors:
    • Exit code 2: argument error — show the specific error message
