About defuddle

defuddle
Extract clean markdown from web pages
defuddle is an agent skill that uses the Defuddle command-line tool to pull clean, readable content out of web pages. It removes navigation, adverts and other clutter, and converts what is left into markdown, which keeps token use down compared with fetching the raw page. The skill recommends it over a plain web fetch for standard web pages. To run it, you use the parse command with the page address and the markdown flag. You can save the output to a file with the output flag, and you can extract specific metadata properties such as the title. If the tool is not installed, the skill tells you to install it globally with npm. The skill is published in the kepano/obsidian-skills repository on GitHub, which has about 49,600 stars and is aimed at people who use agents with Obsidian. The listing shows it as free, and it has about 72,500 installs. Its security audits show passes from Gen Agent Trust Hub and Socket, with a warning from Snyk. Install it with npx skills add https://github.com/kepano/obsidian-skills --skill defuddle. The tool itself needs npm to install.
