Why use Markdown for LLM context instead of raw text?

Markdown preserves structural elements like headings and tables, which helps the AI understand the relationship between different sections of your document more accurately.

Can I convert the Markdown file back into a Word document?

This skill is designed for one-way extraction to help LLMs understand document content; it does not support round-tripping back to .docx format.

What dependencies are required for this skill?

The skill requires Python and uses the markitdown library, which it can help install automatically using the dstoic:install-dependency skill.

Is my document content sent to an LLM during conversion?

No, the conversion is a pure script-based extraction performed locally on your machine using the markitdown library.
