name: defuddle
description: 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.

# Defuddle
Use Defuddle CLI to extract clean readable content from web pages. Prefer over WebFetch for standard web pages — it removes navigation, ads, and clutter, reducing token usage.
If not installed: `npm install -g defuddle`
## Usage
Always use `--md` for markdown output:
```bash
defuddle parse <url> --md
```
Save to file:
```bash
defuddle parse <url> --md -o content.md
```
Extract specific metadata:
```bash
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 |
