# 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.
