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.

Is this the right skill?
