Convert a local file (PDF, DOCX, DOC, ODT, RTF, XLSX, XLS, HTML) into clean markdown saved to disk. Use this skill when the user points at a file on disk and wants its content — says "parse this PDF", "convert this Word doc", "read this file", "extract text from", "PDF to markdown", or provides a local path (not a URL). Also supports AI summary and Q&A. Use this instead of `scrape` for local files.

Efficiently extract and convert the contents of any local file—such as PDF, DOCX, DOC, ODT, RTF, XLSX, XLS, or HTML—into clean, well-formatted markdown saved to disk. Use this skill whenever the user requests to parse, read, or extract information from a file on their computer, including phrases like “parse this PDF”, “convert this document”, “read this file”, “extract text from”, or when a local file path (not a URL) is provided. This skill offers advanced options like generating AI-powered summaries and answering questions based on the file's content. Prefer this tool over `scrape` when handling local files to deliver precise, structured outputs for downstream tasks.
