Markdown Fetch
This skill uses Cloudflare's markdown.new service to fetch any web page as clean markdown instead of raw HTML.
How It Works
Instead of fetching a URL directly, prepend https://markdown.new/ to the target URL. The service automatically:
- Fetches the original page
- Strips unnecessary HTML, scripts, and styling
- Returns clean, readable markdown
Usage
When you need to fetch content from a website, ALWAYS use this pattern:
Original URL: https://example.com/article
Markdown URL: https://markdown.new/https://example.com/article
Example
To read content from https://margaretstorey.com/blog/2026/02/09/cognitive-debt/:
Use WebFetch with:
- URL:
https://markdown.new/https://margaretstorey.com/blog/2026/02/09/cognitive-debt/
- Prompt: Extract the main content (or whatever analysis you need)
When to Use
- Fetching blog posts or articles
- Reading documentation pages
- Extracting content from any HTML page
- When you need clean text without HTML noise
Benefits
- Cleaner output than raw HTML
- Smaller response size (no scripts/styles)
- Better for text analysis and summarization
- Works with most public websites
