name: defuddle description: Extract clean markdown content from web pages using Defuddle CLI, removing clutter and navigation to save tokens. Use instead of WebFetch when the user provides a URL to read or analyze, for online documentation, articles, blog posts, or any standard web page. Do NOT use for URLs ending in .md — those are already markdown, use WebFetch directly.

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.

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
