Can I save the extracted content to a file?

Yes, the skill allows you to specify an optional output file path to save the fetched web content for later analysis or processing.

Does Web Fetch require a headless browser?

No, it uses curl for lightweight HTTP requests and basic text processing, making it faster and less resource-intensive than browser automation tools like Puppeteer.

Are there any system dependencies?

The skill requires 'curl' to be installed on your system, which is standard on most Linux and macOS environments.

What kind of content does it extract?

It focuses on extracting the page title and the main text content while automatically stripping away HTML tags, scripts, and CSS styling.

Is it suitable for JavaScript-heavy websites?

Because it uses curl rather than a full browser engine, it is best suited for static content and may not capture data rendered exclusively via client-side JavaScript.
