SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires defuddle.

What problem does it solve? Fetching web pages with standard tools returns raw HTML cluttered with navigation, ads, and boilerplate, wasting context tokens and obscuring the actual content. This Skill uses the Defuddle CLI to strip that clutter and return clean markdown. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Clean Markdown Extraction: Parse any standard web page into readable markdown with the --md flag, removing navigation and ads. - Metadata Extraction: Pull specific properties like title, description, or domain using the -p flag. - Flexible Output Formats: Choose markdown, JSON (with both HTML and markdown), or raw HTML output. - Use Case: When a user shares a URL to a blog post or documentation page, run defuddle parse <url> --md instead of WebFetch to get token-efficient, readable content. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to read and summarize the article at a given URL using defuddle instead of WebFetch.

FAQPage Schema
How do I extract clean markdown from a web page?▼

Run defuddle parse <url> --md to convert a web page into clean markdown with navigation and ads removed. Add -o content.md to save the output directly to a file.

When should I use defuddle instead of WebFetch?▼

Use defuddle for standard web pages like articles, blog posts, and documentation where clutter removal saves tokens. Use WebFetch directly for URLs ending in .md, since those are already markdown.

How do I install the defuddle CLI?▼

Install it globally with npm by running npm install -g defuddle. After installation, the defuddle command is available in your shell for parsing URLs.

Can defuddle extract specific metadata from a page?▼

Yes, use the -p flag followed by a property name, such as defuddle parse <url> -p title, -p description, or -p domain, to extract individual metadata fields.

What output formats does defuddle support?▼

Defuddle supports markdown via --md, JSON containing both HTML and markdown via --json, and raw HTML when no flag is given. Markdown is the recommended default for readability and token efficiency.
