description	Save website or documentation content locally with Axon map, scrape, site-scope source indexing, output-dir, and screenshots.

Axon Download

Axon does not have a dedicated download command and does not create browser-ready offline mirrors with fetched assets and rewritten links. Use this skill to save markdown crawl artifacts, manifests, HTML/raw HTML captures, WARC archives, and screenshots locally with Axon's real capture commands.

When To Use

• The user wants local markdown files, HTML/raw HTML captures, WARC archives, screenshots, or saved crawl artifacts.
• The goal is durable files rather than an immediate answer.
• The user says "download this site", "save the docs", or "archive this section".

Recipes

Single page:

mkdir -p .axon/download
axon scrape "https://example.com/page" --output .axon/download/page.md

Section capture:

mkdir -p .axon/download
axon "https://docs.example.com/reference" \
  --scope site \
  --max-pages 200 \
  --wait true \
  --output-dir .axon/download/reference

Add --warc .axon/download/reference.warc to archive every fetched page, or --skip-embed to save files without publishing to Qdrant.

Screenshot:

axon screenshot "https://example.com" --output .axon/download/example.png

Guidance

• Start with map if you need to choose which paths to capture.
• Use --scope site with explicit caps (--max-pages, --max-depth, --budget) for large sections.
• Expect markdown, manifests, WARC files, and screenshots, not a full offline website mirror.
• Keep generated captures out of commits unless the user explicitly asks for curated artifacts.
