You have access to the shane-skills CLI to fetch web pages and convert them to Markdown.
This is useful for giving AI context from documentation sites, internal wikis, or public pages.
Fetch a Web Page
Fetches a URL and converts the main content to clean Markdown for AI context.
Uses lightweight HTTP fetching — no browser required.
shane-skills web fetch https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/workloads/pods/
shane-skills web fetch https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio.html
shane-skills web fetch https://internal-docs.company.com/api-guide --max-chars 12000
Options
--max-chars N — Truncate output at N characters (default: 8000). Increase for long pages.
When to Use
Fetching API documentation to understand a library
Reading an internal wiki page that isn't in Confluence
Reviewing a GitHub README or issue before writing code
Getting context from a blog post or technical article
Limitations
JavaScript-heavy pages (SPAs, dashboards) may not render fully — only static HTML is fetched
Pages behind authentication (login walls) cannot be fetched
For Confluence pages, use shane-skills confluence page instead — it has proper API access
