# Markdown Converter

Get plain text out of whatever file landed on your desk

## What this does

Someone sends you a PDF, a spreadsheet, a scan or a recording, and you just want the words in a form you can edit and search. This converts all of those into Markdown, including reading text off images and getting speech out of audio. Reach for it when the file you have is not the format you need.

### Top 3 things it does for you

- Turn a PDF or Office file into Markdown
- Read text out of a scan or an image
- Pull the words out of an audio file

A scan is named by the exact content it read, not by a version number. A different version is a different artifact, and nothing here applies to a version AIR has not scanned.

## Questions

### Is Markdown Converter safe to install?

AIR scanned this exact version of Markdown Converter and flagged nothing. AIR's verdict: safe. The verdict is named by the content that was read, at commit 5dc3c2435ba7, so it cannot drift onto a version nobody scanned. The full report is at https://airmarket.ai/security/markdown-converter.

### How do I install Markdown Converter?

Open https://airmarket.ai/app/markdown-converter on Air Market and use the install action: Air Market hands Claude a prompt naming this exact skill, and Claude sets it up. Source, pinned to the exact commit this listing describes: https://github.com/steipete/agent-scripts/tree/5dc3c2435ba70f39a7fd022a80bf12c5c2b6b0c5/skills/markdown-converter. Install from that link, not the branch.
