defuddle

defuddle is a skill for Claude Code from yeaight7/agent-powerups. It costs 29 tokens per session (468 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A command workflow that extracts readable Markdown from an ordinary web page. Markdown is a simple text format that is easier to inspect than a page full of navigation, advertisements, and other layout elements.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when a documentation page, article, or blog URL needs clean text for reading or further analysis.
Why use it?
It removes page clutter that can waste reading space and make the useful article or documentation harder to find. It is intended for standard web pages, not API responses or pages requiring unavailable authentication.

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.

What it actually says

Defuddle

Purpose

Extract readable Markdown from ordinary web pages by stripping navigation, ads, and page chrome.

When to Use

  • User provides a documentation page, article, or blog post URL.
  • Clean Markdown extraction is preferable to noisy HTML.
  • Web page clutter would waste context.

Do not use when:

  • URL already points to Markdown.
  • Response is an API payload.
  • Page requires authentication the tool cannot satisfy.

Requirements

Required tool:

  • Defuddle CLI

Check:

Get-Command defuddle -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
defuddle --version

Install:

npm install -g defuddle

Rules:

  • Do not assume Defuddle is installed.
  • Do not auto-install without user approval.
  • Show the install command before running it.

Inputs

  • URL to parse

Workflow

  1. Check whether Defuddle CLI is available.
  2. If missing, tell the user before attempting extraction.
  3. Prefer Markdown output:
defuddle parse <url> --md
  1. Save to a file when needed:
defuddle parse <url> --md -o content.md
  1. For metadata-only needs, query a specific property:
defuddle parse <url> -p title
defuddle parse <url> -p description
defuddle parse <url> -p domain

Output

  • Clean Markdown content
  • Optional metadata fields

Verification

  • Defuddle availability was checked first
  • No extraction was claimed if the tool was missing
  • Output is the article or documentation body, not page chrome

Failure Modes

  • Page blocks automated access
  • JavaScript-heavy page renders poorly
  • Auth-gated content is inaccessible

Missing Dependency Behavior

If Defuddle is missing:

  1. Say extraction did not happen.
  2. Tell the user Defuddle CLI is required.
  3. Ask before installing it.
  4. Show the install command.
  5. Fall back to another web-reading method.

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.
