defuddle is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from superuser-pal/awesome-second-brain. It costs 54 tokens per session (258 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of defuddle, MIT.

A command-line tool that turns web pages into clean, readable Markdown. Markdown is plain text formatted for documents, while the tool removes navigation, adverts, and other page clutter.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to extract articles, documentation, blog posts, or other standard web pages; save the result to a file; or retrieve metadata such as the title, description, or domain.

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 4d ago.

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.

Origin

This is a copy

80% identical to defuddle — 4 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

What it actually says

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-cli

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
Changes

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.
