Use direct reading for text, Markdown, CSV that preserves its structure, and known source-code files. Do not convert or bundle a repository merely to inspect one file. For editing a document, use its format-specific skill when available.
For PDF or Office extraction, prefer an available local converter such as
anydoc. For image or audio input, use a tool with the required OCR or
transcription capability; do not assume every installation has those extras.
Use a layout-aware converter for complex or scanned PDFs when ordinary extraction
scrambles the content. Install extra converters only when the task needs them.
Preserve the original. Write extracted content to a task-local directory and verify headings, table structure, reading order and footnotes before citing it. If extraction fails, try a suitable alternative or report which content could not be read reliably. Never summarize scrambled extraction as established fact.
A conversion batch may be delegated when useful. A returned path or successful process exit does not replace inspecting the output. Avoid loading an entire long document when targeted passages are enough.
