Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# 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. ## When to Use - Use when the user provides a normal webpage URL to read, summarize, or analyze. - Prefer it over noisy page-fetch approaches when token efficiency matters. - Use for docs, articles, blog posts, and similar public web content. 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 | ## Limitations - Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above. - Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review. - Stop and ask for clarification i

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --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 sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills, a repository with 44,414 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.
