anydoc

Convert office documents, spreadsheets, presentations, ebooks, and PDFs to GitHub-Flavored Markdown — powered by the Firecrawl anydoc CLI (@firecrawl/anydoc).

This is a Hermes skill: SKILL.md is the skill definition; install it into ~/.hermes/skills/ (or your Hermes profile's skills dir) to give your agent document-to-markdown conversion capability.

Supported formats

Category	Extensions
Word	.doc, .docx, .docm, .odt, .rtf
PowerPoint	.ppt, .pps, .pot, .pptx, .pptm, .ppsx, .ppsm, .odp
Excel	.xls, .xlsx, .xlsm, .xlsb, .ods, .csv
Other	.epub, .pdf

Requirements

• Node.js 20+ (npm/npx included)
• Network access on first use (the CLI is fetched on demand via npx -y @firecrawl/anydoc — no persistent install)

Usage

# Markdown to stdout
npx -y @firecrawl/anydoc <file>

# Write to a file
npx -y @firecrawl/anydoc <file> -o out.md

# CSV from stdin (bash/zsh)
npx -y @firecrawl/anydoc - --format csv < data.csv

# CSV from stdin (PowerShell)
Get-Content data.csv | npx -y @firecrawl/anydoc - --format csv

Exit codes: 0 success, 1 conversion failure, 2 usage error.

Notes

• Format is auto-detected from file content; pass --format <name> only when detection can't work (e.g. CSV from stdin).
• Scanned / image-only PDFs need OCR, which anydoc does not do — use a hosted parse API or an OCR tool for those.
• Cross-platform: works on Linux, macOS, and Windows. PowerShell equivalents for bash-isms are documented in SKILL.md.
