defuddle

defuddle is a skill for Claude Code from AgriciDaniel/claude-obsidian. It costs 61 tokens per session (1,051 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A web-page cleaning tool for turning public HTTPS articles into Markdown, a plain-text format for structured notes. It is optional and sends the URL and request details outside your computer with your approval.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to make an article-like web page easier to read, prepare Markdown for later wiki import, or clean a specific HTTPS URL after approving network access.
Why use it?
It removes menus, ads, and other page clutter before you save or process a web source. It also keeps cleaning separate from capturing or adding content to a wiki.

About the project

claude-obsidian is a local knowledge system that turns source material into linked, source-cited Markdown notes in an Obsidian vault for use with Claude Code and compatible agent hosts. People use it to capture research, retrieve evidence-grounded answers, maintain knowledge, and map connections while retaining ownership of their files. The catalogue entries provide workflows and extensions for operating this knowledge system.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

defuddle scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 93 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Defuddle

Treat Defuddle as an optional external extractor. This package supports inert URL plans and filesystem capture; it does not ship an enforcing network cleaner. Cleaning, raw capture, and wiki ingestion are separate operations.

Resolve the installed product root from this skill's own location, never from the selected vault or process working directory:

PRODUCT_ROOT=/absolute/path/to/installed/claude-obsidian
CORE="$PRODUCT_ROOT/scripts/claude-obsidian.py"
test -f "$CORE"

Every ../wiki/references/ link in this file resolves the same way, relative to this skill's own directory under $PRODUCT_ROOT, never relative to the selected vault's wiki/ directory. Upstream flags may be checked in a separately installed kepano/obsidian-skills reference, but do not override this package's privacy and transaction boundary.

Inert URL plan

Accept HTTPS URLs only. Reject credentials, fragments, controls, sensitive query parameters, and non-public hosts or IP addresses. Never interpolate a URL into a shell string. Use one argv element when constructing a plan:

python3 "$CORE" capture external-plan url "HTTPS_URL"
python3 "$CORE" contracts --verify --capability defuddle --vault "$VAULT"

The plan executes no network request. Report the normalized host, required network egress, redirect policy, optional dependency, and execute: false. An available state means no executable was found. A configured state means an executable was discovered without a bundled behavioral verifier. Identify the manual executable and its reported reason; never run it merely because it was found. Never relabel configured as verified.

Why execution stops here

The upstream CLI inspected at commit 556d74e8c8fd68c49912d4b11a4ae9ec04d7b2b5 (checked 2026-10-17) follows redirects and enables asynchronous extraction. Even parsing a local HTML file can request additional resources or third-party fallbacks. Inspecting argv or obtaining consent for the initial URL cannot prove that every eventual destination remains approved.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
