Convert binary documents (PDF, DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, HTML, EPUB, images) to clean LLM-friendly Markdown using Microsoft's `markitdown` Python tool. Use when a user attaches a binary file and you need to read its contents.
markitdown is installed via pip3 install markitdown and is on PATH. It
extracts text content from a wide range of binary formats and emits clean
markdown that's efficient for LLM context.
PDF, DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, HTML, EPUB, images (with OCR), CSV, JSON, audio transcripts, ZIP archives.
# Convert a single file to markdown on stdout
markitdown /workspace/$(basename "$PWD")/input.pdf
# Save to a markdown file
markitdown /workspace/$(basename "$PWD")/input.docx > /workspace/$(basename "$PWD")/input.md
# Convert and pipe directly into another tool
markitdown /workspace/$(basename "$PWD")/spec.xlsx | head -200
Files attached by users are downloaded to the agent workspace by the gateway. Once you have a workspace path:
# 1. Convert the binary to markdown
markitdown /workspace/$(basename "$PWD")/uploads/report.pdf > /tmp/report.md
# 2. Read the markdown into your context
cat /tmp/report.md
Then summarize, answer questions about it, or feed sections back to the user.
