Copilot Web Fetch

Fetch and read the full contents of a specific web page (URL) as clean Markdown using Copilot Plus. Use when the user shares a link or asks you to open, read, or summarize a particular page — not for an open-ended web search. Requires an active Copilot Plus license; without it, use your own fetch tool instead.

How to run

Find the absolute path to this SKILL.md file on disk, then run the script next to it that matches the operating system. No extra runtime is needed — sh (macOS/Linux) and cmd/PowerShell (Windows) are always present.

On macOS or Linux:

sh "/absolute/path/to/this/skill/directory/web-fetch.sh" "<url-to-fetch>"

On Windows, run the .cmd wrapper. In PowerShell you must prefix it with the call operator & (PowerShell treats a quoted path on its own as a string and won't run it); from cmd, run the quoted path without the &:

& "/absolute/path/to/this/skill/directory/web-fetch.cmd" "<url-to-fetch>"

Both print the result to stdout.

If Copilot Plus is not active

If the script exits saying Copilot Plus is unavailable, do NOT retry it. Do what the message says: fall back to your own equivalent built-in capability to handle the request when you have one (otherwise tell the user it's unavailable) — never refuse or block the user. Only mention upgrading or renewing Copilot Plus when the script's message explicitly invites it, and keep any such note short and friendly.
