--- name: web-to-markdown-3b1e2c7b9c41 description: "Use ONLY when the user explicitly says: 'use the skill web-to-markdown ...' (or 'use a skill web-to-markdown ...'). Converts webpage URLs to clean Markdown by calling the local web2md CLI (Puppeteer + Readability), suitable for JS-rendered pages." metadata: version: 0.1.0 --- # web-to-markdown Convert web pages to clean Markdown by driving a locally installed browser (via `web2md`). ## Hard trigger gate (must enforce) This skill MUST NOT be used unless the user explicitly wrote **exactly** a phrase like: - `use the skill web-to-markdown ...` - `use a skill web-to-markdown ...` If the user did not explicitly request this skill by name, stop and ask them to re-issue the request including: `use the skill web-to-markdown`. ## What this skill does - Handles JS-rendered pages (Puppeteer → user Chrome). - Works best with Chromium-family browsers (Chrome/Chromium/Brave/Edge) via `puppeteer-core`. - Extracts main content (Readability). - Converts to Markdown (Turndown) with cleaned links and optional YAML frontmatter. ## Non-goals - Do not use Playwright or other browser automation stacks; the mechanism is `web2md`. ## Inputs you should collect (ask only if missing) - `url` (or a list of URLs) - Output preference: - Print to stdout (`--print`), OR - Save to a file (`--out ./file.md`), OR - Save to a directory (`--out ./some-dir/` to auto-name by page title) - Optional rendering controls for tricky pages: - `--chrome-path ` (if Chrome auto-detection fails) - `--interactive` (show Chrome and pause so the user can complete human checks/login, then press Enter) - `--wait-until load|domcontentloaded|networkidle0|networkidle2` - `--wait-for ''` - `--wait-ms ` - `--headful` (debug) - `--no-sandbox` (sometimes required in containers/CI) - `--user-data-dir ` (login/session; use a dedicated profile directory) ## Workflow 1) Confirm the user explicitly invoked the skill (`use the skill web-to-markdown`). 2) Validate URL(s) start with `http://` or `https://`. 3) Ensure `web2md` is installed: - Run: `command -v web2md` - If missing, instruct the user to install it: - If available via npm: `npm install -g web2md` - If from source: Clone the repository, then run `npm install && npm run build && npm link` 4) Convert: - Single URL → file: - `web2md '' --out ./page.md` - Single URL → auto-named file in directory: - `mkdir -p ./out && web2md '' --out ./out/` - Human verification / login walls (interactive): - `mkdir -p ./out && web2md '' --interactive --user-data-dir ./tmp/web2md-profile --out ./out/` - Then: complete the check in the browser window and press Enter in the terminal to continue. - Print to stdout: - `web2md '' --print` - Multiple URLs (batch): - Create output dir (e.g. `./out/`) then run one `web2md` command per URL using `--out ./out/` 5) Validate output: - If writing files, verify they exist and are non-empty (e.g. `ls -la ` and `wc -c `). 6) Return: - The saved file path(s), or the Markdown (stdout mode). ## Defaults (recommended) - For most pages: `--wait-until networkidle2` - For heavy apps: start with `--wait-until domcontentloaded --wait-ms 2000`, then add `--wait-for 'main'` (or another stable selector) if needed. --- Source attribution: Dicklesworthstone Original project: https://github.com/Dicklesworthstone/pi_agent_rust/blob/f28fc46ee0db8e710d95b8b55592cd38d60f2b26/tests/ext_conformance/artifacts/templates-davila7/cli-tool/components/skills/development/web-to-markdown/SKILL.md License: MIT License information: https://opensource.org/license/mit Original upstream instructions; downloaded from Mega AI Hub. ## Upstream license notice MIT License (with OpenAI/Anthropic Rider) Copyright (c) 2026 Jeffrey Emanuel Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions: ADDITIONAL RIDER / RESTRICTION (OpenAI / Anthropic): This rider is part of the "conditions" of this License.
