name: defuddle
description: >
Clean web→markdown extraction via the defuddle CLI (the engine behind Obsidian Web Clipper) —
turn any article URL into a vault-ready markdown note WITHOUT ads/nav/comments, saving 40-60%
tokens vs raw fetching. Trigger on "/defuddle <url>", "clean import this page", or PREFER it
over a raw web fetch whenever the task is "read/ingest a normal web article".

- CLI `defuddle` (kepano, MIT, v0.19.1) установлен глобально через npm. Node — единственная зависимость.
+ The `defuddle` CLI (by kepano, MIT, v0.19.1) is installed globally via npm. Node is the only dependency.
- ## Команды
+ ## Commands
```bash
- # статья → чистый markdown в stdout
+ # article → clean markdown on stdout
defuddle parse <url> --markdown
- # с frontmatter (title/author/published/domain) — для волта
+ # with frontmatter (title/author/published/domain) — for the vault
defuddle parse <url> --markdown --frontmatter
- # сразу в файл
+ # straight to a file
defuddle parse <url> --markdown --frontmatter --output "<path>.md"
```
- ## Флоу «статью в волт»
- 1. `defuddle parse <url> --markdown --frontmatter` → черновик.
- 2. Дальше стандартный ingest: заметка в волт (provenance `origin: external`!), реиндекс, перелинковка ≥1 (правила `always-archive-artifacts-to-vault`, `no-orphan-notes-rule`).
+ ## The "article into the vault" flow
+ 1. `defuddle parse <url> --markdown --frontmatter` → draft.
+ 2. Then the standard ingest: a vault note (provenance `origin: external`!), reindex, ≥1 inbound link (rules `always-archive-artifacts-to-vault`, `no-orphan-notes-rule`).
- ## ⚠️ Гадости (проверено /tt 2026-07-04)
- - **exit-код = 0 даже при ошибке** («Error: fetch failed» печатается, но код успеха). В скриптах проверять stdout на `^Error:`, НЕ exit-код.
- - Пустой ввод → невнятная ошибка destructure (тоже exit 0).
- - CLI machine-local: на другой машине сначала `npm install -g defuddle` (node нужен). Скилл синкается кластером, бинарь — нет.
+ ## ⚠️ Gotchas (verified by a live /tt run, 2026-07-04)
+ - **exit code = 0 even on failure** ("Error: fetch failed" is printed, but the code says success). In scripts, check stdout for `^Error:`, NOT the exit code.
+ - Empty input → a cryptic destructure error (also exit 0).
+ - The CLI is machine-local: on another machine run `npm install -g defuddle` first (node required). The skill syncs across the cluster; the binary does not.
- ## Когда НЕ defuddle
- `.md`-URL → WebFetch напрямую; JS-тяжёлые SPA, пейволы, логины → WebFetch или Claude-in-Chrome.
+ ## When NOT to use defuddle
+ A `.md` URL → fetch it directly; JS-heavy SPAs, paywalls, logins → a regular web fetch or live-browser automation.
