Tool Discovery
Example session with this skill installed
Find 4 open-source tools to convert OneNote files to Markdown. Must run on Linux CLI, work offline, and be MIT or Apache-2.0 licensed. include 'onenote-md-exporter' in the search.
- Read your context and instructions
- Compiled the tool discovery
I have evaluated 5 candidates for OneNote to Markdown conversion based on your Linux CLI and offline requirements.
Job
Convert OneNote to Markdown. platform=linux must_cli=yes as_of=2024-05-20
Recommendation: onenote-parser
Why: This is the only candidate that parses the .one binary format directly in a Linux environment without requiring a Windows-only COM interface or a Microsoft Graph API connection. It is actively maintained with a recent commit in April 2024.

Next steps
- Review the
onenote-parserREADME for specific.oneversion compatibility. - Verify if your local files are the newer package format or legacy binary files.
- Test the CLI output against a sample
.onefile to check for image embedding support.

About this skill
The problem
Finding the right tool for a specific engineering task usually involves wading through stale blog posts, affiliate-heavy roundups, and misleading star counts. Developers often waste hours trial-installing software only to find it lacks a CLI or requires a GUI on a headless server.
What it does
- Performs multi-vector searches across code hosts and the open web to find candidates for a specific job.
- Extracts structured metadata for every tool, including license type, last commit date, and platform support.
- Enforces hard filters for constraints like offline capability, CLI availability, and specific license requirements.
- Generates a ranked comparison table that prioritizes functional fit and maintenance health over raw popularity.
- Identifies "not for" scenarios for every tool to prevent architectural mismatches.
Why this beats prompting it yourself
Generic LLM prompts often hallucinate features or rely on training data that misses recent repository activity. This skill forces the agent to fetch live repository metadata, check actual license files, and verify the last commit date before making a recommendation.
Use cases
- Finding an open-source, MIT-licensed CLI tool for a specific file conversion.
- Comparing cross-platform system monitors that don't require a cloud account.
- Researching migration paths between two technologies for a headless environment.
- Shortlisting libraries based on active maintenance and specific language runtimes.
Known limitations
Requires an agent with HTTP access and web search capabilities. Star counts and commit dates are point-in-time snapshots based on the provided date stamp.
How to install
Works the same in every agent - Claude, Cursor, Codex, Copilot and 20+ more.
