# web-fetch-markdown

Fetch web pages as reduced markdown using jina.ai summarization service.

## When to Use

- User asks to fetch a URL with reduced/condensed output
- Token conservation is important for the task
- User mentions "jina.ai" or "markdown it"
- Fetching long articles, documentation, or content-heavy pages

## How to Use

1. Take the original URL user wants to fetch
2. Construct the jina.ai proxy URL: `https://r.jina.ai/<original-url>`
3. Use `web_fetch` tool with the constructed URL
4. Return the markdown content to user

## Example

User wants to fetch `https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw`

Construct: `https://r.jina.ai/https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw`

Then call:
```
web_fetch url="https://r.jina.ai/https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw"
```

## Notes

- jina.ai automatically extracts and reduces markdown content
- Works with most public web pages
- Great for GitHub READMEs, articles, documentation
