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 tokens and obscuring the actual content you want to read or analyze. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Clean Markdown Extraction: Parse any URL into clutter-free markdown using defuddle parse <url> --md, removing navigation and ads. - Metadata Extraction: Pull specific properties like title, description, or domain with 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 blog post or documentation URL to summarize, run Defuddle instead of WebFetch to get a compact, readable markdown version that consumes fewer tokens. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to read and summarize the article at a given URL using defuddle with markdown output.
