What is the best output format for Claude?

Markdown (--md) is the recommended format as it preserves structure while being highly readable and token-efficient for large language models.

Can I extract specific page metadata like just the title?

Yes, you can use the -p flag with properties like title, description, or domain to extract specific metadata instead of the full body content.

Why should I use Defuddle instead of standard WebFetch?

Defuddle removes navigation, ads, and UI clutter, providing cleaner markdown that uses fewer tokens and improves Claude's comprehension of the actual content.

Do I need to install external tools for this skill?

Yes, this skill requires the Defuddle CLI to be installed on your system via 'npm install -g defuddle'.
