Defuddle
When you need to analyze web content without burning tokens on navigation menus and ads, this extracts clean markdown from any URL. It's essentially a smart web scraper that strips the clutter and gives you just the article content. Perfect for feeding documentation, blog posts, or news articles into Claude for analysis or summarization. The CLI tool handles the heavy lifting of content detection and cleanup, so you get readable markdown instead of messy HTML soup. Skip it for URLs that already end in .md since those don't need the extraction treatment.

Defuddle
Use Defuddle CLI when the user wants clean Markdown extracted from a web page. It removes navigation, ads, and other page clutter.
Check availability with defuddle --help. If it is missing, explain the dependency and offer installation with npm install -g defuddle. Do not claim extraction succeeded if the tool is unavailable or returns an error.

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 |
