| description | Use when web.run fails to parse a webpage and you need raw Markdown via Crawl4AI. |
Use this skill only after the built-in web.run tool fails to return usable content for a page.
What this skill does
- Crawls one or more URLs with Crawl4AI.
- Returns raw Markdown for each URL.
How to run
This script uses uv inline metadata. If uv is available just run:
uv run scripts/crawl_to_markdown.py https://example.com
Multiple URLs:
uv run scripts/crawl_to_markdown.py https://example.com https://example.org
Or pipe a newline-delimited list:
printf "https://example.com\nhttps://example.org\n" | uv run scripts/crawl_to_markdown.py
Troubleshooting
Crawl succeeds but output is blank
Some sites don't match the default --selector and can return empty/whitespace Markdown.
The script will retry without CSS selection automatically, but you can also force it explicitly:
uv run scripts/crawl_to_markdown.py --selector '' https://example.com
uv cache permission errors
If uv fails accessing its cache directory (e.g. ~/.cache/uv), either point it at a
writable cache directory:
uv --cache-dir .uv-cache run scripts/crawl_to_markdown.py https://example.com
Or avoid the cache entirely:
uv --no-cache run scripts/crawl_to_markdown.py https://example.com
