Four conversion engines are already in this container — pandoc, libreoffice
(headless), ImageMagick's convert, and ffmpeg. The hard part isn't running
them; it's picking the right one. pandoc mangles a real .docx into PDF;
LibreOffice is the tool for that. pandoc is better than LibreOffice for
md → docx. Neither touches mp4 → gif. This skill encodes that routing so the
choice isn't re-derived (often wrongly) each time.
scripts/convert.py is a dispatcher over those four binaries, not a new engine.
Use it for the common cases; drop to the raw engine when you need flags it
doesn't pass through.
