# 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: ```bash defuddle parse <url> --md ``` Save to file: ```bash defuddle parse <url> --md -o content.md ``` Extract specific metadata: ```bash 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.
