defuddle

name	defuddle
description	Run the Defuddle CLI as the webpage extraction provider after source-extraction selects `defuddle`, or for non-wiki webpage cleanup when no intake lifecycle applies. For wiki source material, use source-extraction first so PROJECT.md provider policy, Source Review Gate, and the WIKI.md output contract remain in control.

Defuddle

Use Defuddle CLI to extract clean readable Markdown from web pages. In this package, Defuddle is a provider tool; it does not decide whether a source enters intake/tmp/, intake/processed/, or wiki/.

For wiki intake, start with source-extraction. Use this skill only after that workflow selects defuddle for a webpage source.

If not installed: npm install -g defuddle

Usage

Always use --md for markdown output:

defuddle parse <url> --md

For wiki intake, write to the output path chosen by source-extraction:

defuddle parse <url> --md -o intake/tmp/source-relative-parent/original-source-base-filename/source.md

Extract specific metadata:

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
