Strips nav, ads, footers, and cruft from any URL and returns just the article or doc as clean markdown — faster to parse and cheaper to analyze than raw HTML.
Best for: Reading docs, articles, and blog posts without paying for the junk.

--- 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.
