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.
