What the skill teaches

An agent skill from the Obsidian team's obsidianmd/obsidian-skills repository that has the agent turn a web page into tidy Markdown with Defuddle, a command-line tool that strips menus, adverts and similar clutter. The agent first checks that the defuddle command exists and, if not, offers to install it from npm. It then parses a URL into Markdown, optionally writing the result to a file, or pulls out single metadata fields such as the title, description or domain; JSON and HTML output are also available. The skill tells the agent not to report success when the tool is missing or fails.

Capabilities

  • Convert a web page to clean Markdown
  • Save extracted Markdown to a file
  • Read a page's title, description or domain
  • Output page content as JSON or HTML
