Doc Markdown
Convert one local file to Markdown with doc_convert on Linux and macOS, built on Microsoft's MarkItDown. Microsoft and MarkItDown are trademarks of the Microsoft group of companies.
Good to know before installing
The doc_markdown toolset is on by default on every surface, including a gateway, so anyone you allow there can call doc_convert; stop it with hermes tools. It does not fetch pages. Unattended sessions still convert when Hermes calls the tool. This plugin creates no cron job. A child process runs MarkItDown with no Hermes keys in its environment; on macOS the plugin runs ps about every 10 ms to watch that child's memory. It stops 8 seconds after its converters load, at 60 seconds if loading never finishes, or above 922746880 bytes. It is not a sandbox: after realpath it may read any allowlisted path it can open. Unpublished Hermes code locates the Hermes home, and a failed check refuses the path. Removal deletes the plugin directory, not the markitdown package. Windows was not tested.

How to install
- Install it. Hermes asks for any API keys it needs, then asks whether to turn it on.
hermes plugins install doc-markdown - Said no? Turn it on later:
hermes plugins enable doc-markdown - Restart Hermes so it loads the plugin.
Some plugins also need a sign-in or settings: see Full setup & settings. Memory plugins ask whether to become your memory provider instead. Steps follow the official plugins guide (opens in a new tab).
