Frequently asked

When should I use Defuddle instead of WebFetch?
Use Defuddle for standard web pages, online documentation, articles, and blog posts where you want to remove navigation, ads, and clutter. Use WebFetch only for URLs ending in .md, which are already markdown.
What output format should I use?
Always use the `--md` flag to get markdown output, which is the primary use case for this skill.
Does Defuddle reduce token usage compared to fetching raw HTML?
Yes. By removing navigation, ads, and other clutter, Defuddle produces cleaner markdown output that uses fewer tokens than fetching the full HTML page.
Can I extract specific metadata like title or domain?
Yes. Use the `-p` flag with property names like `title`, `description`, or `domain` to extract specific metadata from a page.
