Design, tune, or review EF Core data access with proper modeling, migrations, query translation, performance, and lifetime management for modern .NET applications.
ManagedCode.MarkItDown
Use ManagedCode.MarkItDown when a .NET application needs deterministic document-to-Markdown conversion for ingestion, indexing, summarization, or content-processing workflows. USE FOR: ManagedCode.MarkItDown integration; document ingestion flows; Office or rich-text conversion to Markdown; indexing and summarization pipelines. DO NOT USE FOR: unrelated stacks; generic tasks that do not need this specific guidance. INVOKES: inspect the repository context, edit targeted files, and run relevant build, test, lint, or validation commands when changes are made.
Trigger On
- integrating
ManagedCode.MarkItDowninto document ingestion flows - converting office or rich-text content into Markdown for downstream processing
- reviewing indexing, chunking, or AI-preparation pipelines that depend on Markdown output
- documenting file-conversion steps for a .NET application
Workflow
- Identify the document sources the app actually handles.
- Decide where Markdown conversion belongs in the pipeline:
- before indexing - before chunking - before AI summarization or enrichment
- Keep conversion isolated behind one ingestion or processing service instead of scattering format handling everywhere.
- Validate real converted output for structure, links, headings, and attachment handling.
- Document which downstream stage depends on the produced Markdown.

- guidance on where ManagedCode.MarkItDown fits in a real processing pipeline
- conversion-boundary recommendations for application design
- output-validation expectations for document ingestion
Validate
- the converted Markdown is good enough for the actual downstream consumer
- conversion is isolated in one clear pipeline step
- tests or review samples cover the real input formats the application claims to support
