• Convert Word To Md

  skill

  Converts Word (.docx) documents into Markdown so their contents can be accurately analyzed, summarized, searched, or extracted from. Use this skill whenever the user shares, references, or asks about a .docx file — even if they don't say "convert" or "markdown" explicitly. This includes requests to "read", "summarize", "review", "extract data from", "compare", or "analyze" a Word document, resume, report, contract, or proposal. Always run the bundled conversion script to produce Markdown first; do not attempt to parse .docx content directly or write ad-hoc conversion code. Also use this skill for batch requests involving a whole folder of Word documents. IMPORTANT: When the user references a folder or set of documents containing multiple file types (.pdf, .docx, .xlsx), invoke ALL three sibling skills — convert-pdf-to-md, convert-word-to-md, and convert-excel-to-md — so no file type is silently skipped.
