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

scraping-html-to-markdown 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 11d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 131 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Scraping HTML to Markdown

crawlberg scrape <url> is the right tool when the user has a single page in mind. It returns Markdown plus a full structured payload (metadata, links, images, JSON-LD, HTTP response info).

Quick recipe

crawlberg scrape https://example.com/article --format markdown

JSON form (default) when downstream needs metadata:

crawlberg scrape https://example.com/article --format json

Flag surface

Flag Default Purpose
--format json json or markdown.
--timeout 30000 Per-request timeout in ms.
--proxy HTTP, HTTPS, or SOCKS5 proxy URL.
--user-agent Override request UA.
--respect-robots-txt off Honour robots.txt.
--browser-mode auto auto, always, never — see headless-fallback skill.
--browser-endpoint External CDP ws:// URL.
--config Inline JSON or @file.json for full CrawlConfig.

Output shape

Markdown mode

Prints the rendered Markdown only. Use when piping to a file the user will read, or when the result becomes LLM context downstream.

JSON mode

Top-level ScrapeResult with:

  • final_url (after redirects), status_code, content_type, body_size, detected_charset — all top-level fields.
  • markdown: { content, fit_content, tables, warnings }fit_content is a pruned LLM-optimised variant; tables holds structured table data preserved separately from the Markdown text.
  • metadata: Open Graph (flat og_title/og_description/og_image), Twitter Card, Dublin Core, article tags, headings (H1–H6), favicons, hreflang.
  • links: a flat array of link objects, each with a link_type discriminator (internal, external, anchor, document) — filter with .links[] | select(.link_type=="external").
  • images: <img>, <picture>, srcset, og:image.
  • feeds, json_ld: top-level arrays of discovered feeds and JSON-LD entries.
  • response_meta: HTTP header metadata (server, etag, cache-control, etc.).

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.
