Defuddle

A library and CLI that extracts a page's main content as clean HTML or Markdown for reading, clipping, and downstream agent work.

  • Hermes

Use it when

Use it when noisy page chrome is wasting context; it cleans supplied pages but does not discover sources or verify their claims.

Install command

This is the command stored in the directory. Read the source, then run it on work you can undo.

npm install -g defuddle

Source

Inspect it before you install it

Treat the skill like a dependency. The directory entry is a shortlist, and the source is the thing you are about to run.

  • Read the instructions and any scripts before you grant tools, files, or credentials.
  • Test it on reversible work. Keep deploy, send, publish, and payment steps for a person.
  • Keep it when the output is easier to review. Remove it when it only adds steps.
