🤖 AI Summary

Defuddle extracts clean, readable text from web pages by stripping navigation, ads, and clutter, reducing token usage compared to WebFetch. It’s ideal for developers who need concise, content-focused output from standard web pages.

How to Install

Claude Code:
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/kepano/obsidian-skills.git && cp obsidian-skills/skills/defuddle ~/.claude/skills/defuddle -r

Defuddle

Use Defuddle CLI to extract clean readable content from web pages. Prefer over WebFetch for standard web pages — it removes navigation, ads, and clutter, reducing token usage.

When to Use

  • Use when the user provides a normal webpage URL to read, summarize, or analyze.
  • Prefer it over noisy page-fetch approaches when token efficiency matters.
  • Use for docs, articles, blog posts, and similar public web content.

If not installed: npm install -g defuddle

Usage

Always use --md for markdown output:

defuddle parse <url> --md

Save to file:

defuddle parse <url> --md -o content.md

Extract specific metadata:

defuddle parse <url> -p title
defuddle parse <url> -p description
defuddle parse <url> -p domain

Output formats

Flag Format
--md Markdown (default choice)
--json JSON with both HTML and markdown
(none) HTML
-p <name> Specific metadata property

Limitations

  • Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
  • Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
  • Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
