Markstream skills

Agent skills for Markstream — convert any URL, file, or marketing channel into clean, agent-ready markdown (web pages, PDFs, Word/Excel/CSV, images, Facebook pages, SimilarWeb traffic).

Use it for reading & summarizing, RAG ingestion, and competitor research. 1 credit per conversion; failed conversions are auto-refunded.

Install

Skills CLI (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, and 18+ agents):

Configure

export MARKSTREAM_API_KEY="msk_..."

(MARKSTREAM_BASE_URL may be set for a self-hosted instance; defaults to https://markstream.dev.)

What it does

The markstream skill bundles a Python (stdlib-only) helper and workflow recipes:

skills/markstream/scripts/markstream.py url  "https://example.com/article"
skills/markstream/scripts/markstream.py file "./report.pdf"
skills/markstream/scripts/markstream.py get  "<conversion-id>"
# add --json for full metadata (id, title, provider, credits, chars)

Recipes included in SKILL.md: read & extract, competitor / market research (SimilarWeb + Facebook + site → brief), and build a RAG corpus.

Prefer the markstream-mcp MCP server's tools when they're connected; otherwise the bundled script is fully self-contained.
