Site Extract

Use this skill when the target page or docs site is already known and the task is to extract facts, structured fields, or bounded excerpts.

Workflow

1. Prefer an official API, feed, raw markdown, or direct HTML fetch over a rendered page.
2. Extract only the sections needed for the task instead of dumping whole pages.
3. Keep the source URL, page title, publish/update date, and access date with the notes.
4. Normalize findings into concise bullets, tables, or JSON-shaped notes.
5. If the content depends on client-side rendering or interaction, switch to browser-fallback.

Rules

• Prefer text or DOM extraction over screenshot-only reading.
• Preserve enough structure for later citation and verification.
• Do not copy long copyrighted passages when a short summary is enough.
• If the site exposes stable machine-readable fields, use those rather than re-parsing visible prose.

Output

• Bounded structured notes tied to exact URLs.
• Missing fields or extraction blockers called out explicitly.
