Defuddle

Skill Warning Active

Extract clean markdown content from web pages using Defuddle CLI, removing clutter and navigation to save tokens. Use instead of WebFetch when the user provides a URL to read or analyze, for online documentation, articles, blog posts, or any standard web page. Do NOT use for URLs ending in .md — those are already markdown, use WebFetch directly.

Purpose

Extract clean, token-efficient markdown content from web pages to facilitate analysis or storage, avoiding unnecessary clutter and navigation elements.

Features

Extracts clean markdown content from web pages.
Removes clutter, ads, and navigation from fetched content.
Reduces token usage for LLM processing.
Supports saving output to a file.
Extracts specific metadata like title, description, and domain.

Use Cases

When needing to analyze the content of an article, blog post, or online documentation.
When saving web content for later use and wanting to minimize token count.
As an alternative to `WebFetch` for standard web pages that require content cleaning.

Non-Goals

Processing URLs that already end in `.md` (use `WebFetch` directly).
Replacing general-purpose web fetching for all URL types.
Performing complex web interactions beyond simple page fetching and parsing.

Maintenance

critical:Commit recencyThe last commit was over 12 months ago (2026-05-07), indicating the project is likely unmaintained and poses a risk due to potential dependency drift.
warning:Dependency ManagementThe extension depends on the `defuddle` CLI tool (npm install), but there are no apparent measures for updating or merging dependencies, nor vulnerability checks mentioned.

Security

warning:Transitive Supply-Chain GrenadesThe skill relies on an external npm package (`defuddle`) which is not version-pinned, creating a potential supply-chain risk if the package changes maliciously.

Trust

warning:Issues AttentionThere are 20 issues opened in the last 90 days and only 3 closed, indicating slow maintainer responsiveness and a low closure rate.

Versioning

warning:Release ManagementThere is no explicit versioning in the SKILL.md frontmatter or a changelog, and installation instructions reference the main branch, making it difficult to pin a specific version.

Execution

warning:Pinned dependenciesThe skill depends on the `defuddle` npm package, but this dependency is not pinned, and no lockfile is present, increasing the risk of unexpected behavior from updates.
