FAQPage Schema
How do I save a webpage as Markdown without messy HTML formatting?▼

To save a webpage as Markdown, this skill fetches the HTML via Chrome DevTools Protocol and converts it into clean, readable Markdown with YAML frontmatter, eliminating manual copy-paste and HTML editing.

Can I capture content from login-restricted or dynamically loaded webpages?▼

Yes, you can capture login-restricted or dynamic webpages by using the wait-for-user signal mode, which pauses the script to allow manual login or lazy-loaded content rendering before conversion.

How do I convert JavaScript-rendered pages to Markdown?▼

You can convert JavaScript-rendered pages to Markdown by running the provided script with the target URL; it uses a local Chrome binary via Chrome DevTools Protocol to fully render the page before extraction.

Do I need a local Chrome binary installed to use Chrome CDP for web scraping?▼

Yes, you need a local Chrome binary installed because the skill relies on Chrome DevTools Protocol to launch a browser instance, render the target webpage, and extract the HTML content for Markdown conversion.

What's the best way to archive web content with metadata for a knowledge base?▼

The best way to archive web content is using this skill to output a Markdown file with YAML frontmatter metadata, organizing the saved files per domain and slug for easy documentation and offline retrieval.

Why does webpage to Markdown conversion fail on lazy-loaded content?▼

Webpage to Markdown conversion fails on lazy-loaded content when using auto mode because the page hasn't fully rendered; switching to the wait mode allows dynamic content to load before capture.
