Overview

This skill uses a headless browser to scrape web pages and extract the main readable content, saving it as Markdown. It is designed for retrieving, analyzing, and summarizing page content so you can get concise, usable text from URLs quickly.

How this skill works

When given a URL, the skill loads the page in a headless browser, runs readability extraction to find the main article or content block, and outputs the result as Markdown. It can operate on a single page by default and supports recursive link-following only with explicit user confirmation. The extracted Markdown is then analyzed and condensed for direct responses.

When to use it

• Summarize an article, blog post, or news item from a URL
• Extract readable content for offline review or note-taking
• Analyze documentation pages or tutorials hosted on a website
• Convert web content to Markdown for publishing or editing
• Gather a page’s main content before running further NLP tasks

Best practices

• Provide the exact URL you want scraped to avoid ambiguity
• Request recursive scraping only if you authorize link-following
• Ask for specific sections if you don’t need the full page
• Expect the output in Markdown and request further summarization if needed
• Avoid scraping behind logins or paywalls without proper access

Example use cases

• User asks: “Summarize the article at https://example.com/blog/post-123” — scrape and return a concise summary of the main points.
• User asks: “Extract the main docs page at https://example.com/docs” — retrieve key sections and explain them plainly.
• User needs a Markdown copy of a news story for editing — provide cleaned, readable Markdown.
• User requests key takeaways from a long feature article — extract and list the core arguments and facts.
