// Fetch a URL or convert a local file (PDF/DOCX/HTML/etc.) into Markdown using `uvx markitdown`, optionally it can summarize
Allows to interact with web pages by performing actions such as clicking buttons, filling out forms, and navigating links. It works by remote controlling Google Chrome or Chromium browsers using the Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP). When Claude needs to browse the web, it can use this skill to do so.
Trigger native web search. Use when you need quick internet research with concise summaries and full source URLs.
Access Google Workspace APIs (Drive, Docs, Calendar, Gmail, Sheets, Slides, Chat, People) via local helper scripts without MCP. Handles OAuth login and direct API calls.
Load and parse session transcripts from shittycodingagent.ai/buildwithpi.ai/buildwithpi.com/pi.dev (pi-share) URLs. Fetches gists, decodes embedded session data, and extracts conversation history.
Use `uv` instead of pip/python/venv. Run scripts with `uv run script.py`, add deps with `uv add`, use inline script metadata for standalone scripts.
Cache and refresh remote git repositories under ~/.cache/checkouts/<host>/<org>/<repo> so future references can reuse a local copy. Use this skill when the user points you to a remote git repository as reference or you encountered a remote git repo through other means.

Turn “things” (URLs, PDFs, Word docs, PowerPoints, HTML pages, text files, etc.) into Markdown so they can be inspected/quoted/processed like normal text.
markitdown can fetch URLs by itself; this skill mainly wraps it to make saving + summarizing convenient.
For PDF inputs, use the markitdown[pdf] extra (or the wrapper below, which now does this automatically).
Use this skill when you need to:
Run from this skill folder (the agent should cd here first):
uvx --from 'markitdown[pdf]' markitdown <url-or-path>
To write Markdown to a temp file (prints the path) use the wrapper:
node to-markdown.mjs <url-or-path> --tmp
Tip: when summarizing, the script will always write the full converted Markdown to a temp .md file and will always print a final "Hint" line with the path (so you can open/inspect the full content).
Write Markdown to a specific file:
uvx --from 'markitdown[pdf]' markitdown <url-or-path> > /tmp/doc.md
Summaries are only useful when you provide what you want extracted and the audience/purpose.
node to-markdown.mjs <url-or-path> --summary --prompt "Summarize focusing on X, for audience Y. Extract Z."
Or:
node to-markdown.mjs <url-or-path> --summary --prompt "Focus on security implications and action items."
This will:
uvx --from 'markitdown[pdf]' markitdown.md file and print its path as a "Hint" linepi --model claude-haiku-4-5 (no-tools, no-session) to summarize using your extra prompt
