From the SKILL.md

# Defuddle Treat Defuddle as an optional external extractor, not an internal capability. Cleaning, raw capture, and wiki ingestion are separate operations. Resolve the installed product root from this skill's own location, never from the selected vault or process working directory: ```bash PRODUCT_ROOT=/absolute/path/to/installed/claude-obsidian CORE="$PRODUCT_ROOT/scripts/claude-obsidian.py" test -f "$CORE" ``` If a separately installed `kepano/obsidian-skills` `defuddle` skill is available, prefer it for current CLI flags. Retain the privacy, consent, and transaction rules in this skill. ## Safety contract - Accept remote inputs only as HTTPS URLs. - Reject credentials in URLs, fragments, private or local hosts, non-public IP addresses, control characters, and sensitive query parameters. - Never interpolate a URL into a shell string. Pass it as one argv element. - Treat redirects to a different host as denied until that host is explicitly approved. - State that the URL and request metadata will leave the machine. Network access requires explicit consent in the current request or a separate confirmation. - Do not install a cleaner, execute a placeholder runner, or silently switch

About this skill
What does the defuddle skill do?

Plan and, with explicit network consent, use an optional external Defuddle cleaner to extract article-like HTTPS pages as Markdown. Use for defuddle, clean this URL, strip page clutter, readable Markdown from a web page, or preparing a web source for later wiki ingestion.

How do I install it?

Run `npx skills add AgriciDaniel/claude-obsidian --skill defuddle --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.

Where does this skill come from?

From AgriciDaniel/claude-obsidian, a repository with 10,371 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.

Is a popular skill a good skill?

Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
