Triggers on: defuddle, clean this page, strip this url, fetch and clean, clean web content before ingesting."

# defuddle — Web Page Cleaner
|
|
|
|
Defuddle extracts the meaningful content from a web page and drops everything else: ads, cookie banners, nav bars, related articles, footers, social sharing buttons. What remains is the article body as clean markdown.
|
|
|
|
Use this before any URL ingestion. It is optional but strongly recommended — it cuts token usage by 40-60% on typical web articles and produces cleaner wiki pages.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Install
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
npm install -g defuddle-cli
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Verify: `defuddle --version`
|
|
|

|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
### Clean a URL directly
|
|
```bash
|
|
defuddle https://example.com/article
|
|
```
|
|
Outputs clean markdown to stdout.
|
|
|
|
### Save to .raw/
|
|
```bash
|
|
defuddle https://example.com/article > .raw/articles/article-slug-$(date +%Y-%m-%d).md
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Add frontmatter header after saving
|
|
After running defuddle, prepend the source URL and fetch date:
|
|
```bash
|
|
SLUG="article-slug-$(date +%Y-%m-%d)"
|
|
{ echo "---"; echo "source_url: https://example.com/article"; echo "fetched: $(date +%Y-%m-%d)"; echo "---"; echo ""; defuddle https://example.com/article; } > .raw/articles/$SLUG.md
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Clean a local HTML file
|
|
```bash
|
|
defuddle page.html
|
|
```
|
|
|

|

|
|
## When to Use
|
|
|
|
**Use defuddle when:**
|
|
- Ingesting a news article, blog post, or documentation page from a URL
|
|
- The page has a lot of surrounding content (most web pages do)
|
|
- You want to stay within token budget on a long article
|
|
|
|
**Skip defuddle when:**
|
|
- The source is already a clean markdown or PDF file
|
|
- The page is a dashboard, app, or structured data (defuddle expects article-style content)
|
|
- defuddle is not installed and the article is short enough to process raw
|
|
|

|
|
## Fallback
|
|
|
|
If defuddle is not installed, check:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
which defuddle 2>/dev/null || echo "not installed"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If not installed: use WebFetch directly. The content will be less clean but still workable.

## Integration with /wiki-ingest
|
|
|
|
The `/wiki-ingest` skill checks for defuddle automatically when a URL is passed. You do not need to run defuddle manually before ingesting a URL — the ingest skill will call it if available.
|
|
|
|
To manually clean a page and save before ingesting:
|
|
1. Run the save command above
|
|
2. Then: `ingest .raw/articles/[slug].md`
|
