Library skill — the default version is maintained in GitHub; edits you make live in your own clone.

How does this work?

ChatGPT opens a new chat with the skill loaded. If it's too long for a link, it's copied to your clipboard — just paste.
Claude works the same way. To install it permanently, download the .zip and upload it under Claude → Settings → Capabilities → Skills (Pro/Team/Enterprise).
Copy prompt copies the skill so you can paste it into any assistant, including Grok.

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
