Skill by ara.so — Daily 2026 Skills collection.

markit converts almost anything to markdown: PDFs, Word docs, PowerPoint, Excel, HTML, EPUB, Jupyter notebooks, RSS feeds, CSV, JSON, YAML, images (with EXIF + AI description), audio (with metadata + AI transcription), ZIP archives, URLs, Wikipedia pages, and source code files. It works as a CLI tool and as a TypeScript/Node.js library, supports pluggable converters, and integrates with OpenAI, Anthropic, and any OpenAI-compatible LLM API.
