Read existing documents (PDF, Word, PowerPoint, Excel, HTML) and convert them into clean Markdown/plain text the agent can reason over: extract text, ingest a file, summarize a document. Use whenever the user wants to READ, extract, ingest, transcribe, or summarize the contents of an existing file (not create one).
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Ingest existing documents into Markdown / text Turn a document the user already has (PDF, Word, PowerPoint, Excel, HTML) into clean Markdown or plain text so you can quote, summarize, or transform it. This is the **read** counterpart to the create skills (`xlsx`/`docx`/`pptx`/`pdf`). Work **one visible step at a time** and verify before reporting. ## Two backends — prefer the lean one - **Lean (always available, no extra install):** the bundled libraries `pypdf`, `python-docx`, `python-pptx`, `openpyxl` read the common Office/PDF formats with `python3 -c "import pypdf, docx, pptx, openpyxl"`. Use this path by default. - **Rich (optional, `prepare:python:extras`):** `markitdown` adds HTML, images (OCR), EPUB, ZIP and more, and emits tidy Markdown directly. Only reach for it when the lean path can't read the format. ## Workflow (one step at a time) 1. **Identify** the file and its type (extension). 2. **Extract**: run a short Python script (heredoc via the `bash` tool) that reads the file with the matching library and prints — or writes — Markdown/text. 3. **Verify**: assert the output is non-empty (e.g. `assert len(text) > 0`) and …

How to install
mdr add phuetz/code-buddy/doc-ingest@sha256:f71a8a720cfea251The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260617.d69e8c1, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
