# Web to Markdown Converter

Convert any web page to clean Markdown format using Jina AI's reader service.

## Process

When a user requests to convert a web page to Markdown:

1. **Extract the URL** from the user's request
2. **Construct Jina URL**: Prepend `https://r.jina.ai/` before the user's URL
3. **Fetch with curl**: Use `curl` to retrieve the Markdown content
4. **Save to file**: Write the content to `/mnt/user-data/outputs/{filename}.md`
5. **Provide download link**: Give the user a link to the generated file

## Command Template

```bash
curl -s "https://r.jina.ai/{USER_URL}" > /mnt/user-data/outputs/{filename}.md
```

## Example Workflow

User request: "Convert https://example.com/article into markdown"

Execute:
```bash
curl -s "https://r.jina.ai/https://example.com/article" > /mnt/user-data/outputs/article.md
```

Then provide link: `computer:///mnt/user-data/outputs/article.md`

## Filename Generation

Generate a sensible filename from the URL:
- Use the last path segment if available (e.g., `article` from `/articles/article`)
- Remove any file extensions from the URL
- Sanitize by replacing special characters with underscores or hyphens
- Add `.md` extension
- If user specifies a custom filename, use that instead

## Common User Phrasings

This skill handles various ways users might request conversion:
- "Convert this page to markdown"
- "Generate markdown from this URL"
- "Create an MD file from this website"
- "Download this webpage as markdown"
- "Turn this page into a markdown file"
