Setup prompt

Paste this into Cursor or Claude Code. It only includes install lines found in the README, and it asks the agent to review the code first.

Set up the GitHub repository microsoft/markitdown (Python tool for converting files and office documents to Markdown.).
Repository: https://github.com/microsoft/markitdown

Official install commands found in the README:
uv venv --python=3.12 .venv
conda create -n markitdown python=3.12
conda activate markitdown
git clone git@github.com:microsoft/markitdown.git
pip install -e 'packages/markitdown[all]'
pip install 'markitdown[pdf, docx, pptx]'
pip install markitdown-ocr
pip install openai  # or any OpenAI-compatible client

Clone the repository and follow those steps. Do not invent package names or extra install commands.
Review the code before running anything.
