markdown-dot-new

Community plugin for markdown.new. Converts web pages, files, and entire websites into clean, structured Markdown — reducing token usage by 80% compared to raw HTML.

What it does

This plugin teaches your coding agent to use markdown.new whenever it needs to fetch web content, convert a document, or crawl a site. Instead of downloading raw HTML or binary files, the agent routes requests through markdown.new and gets back clean Markdown.

Three capabilities:

Capability	Description
URL → Markdown	Convert any public URL to Markdown with a single GET request
File → Markdown	Convert 20+ file formats (PDF, DOCX, XLSX, images, etc.) to Markdown
Crawl → Markdown	Crawl an entire website and retrieve all pages as Markdown

Install

Claude Code (plugin marketplace)

Step 1. Add the marketplace:

/plugin marketplace add frontboat/markdown-dot-new

Step 2. Install the plugin:

/plugin install markdown-dot-new@boat

Any agent (via skills CLI)

npx skills add frontboat/markdown-dot-new

Supports Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and 40+ other agents.

Manual

Copy skills/markdown-dot-new/ into your agent's skills directory (e.g., .claude/skills/ for Claude Code).

Usage

Once installed, the skill activates automatically when the agent needs to read a URL, convert a file, or crawl a site. No slash commands required — it changes how the agent fetches content by default.

Examples of prompts that trigger the skill:

• "Summarize this article: https://example.com/blog-post"
• "What does this PDF say? https://example.com/report.pdf"
• "Get me the content from all the pages at https://docs.example.com"
