Scratchpad Fetch

Scratchpad Fetch

Overview

Downloads web pages via curl and appends content to timestamped scratchpad file. All URLs from single user prompt → single file. Simple context gatherer for documentation.

Usage

When user provides URLs and asks to:

• "concatenate all these resources"
• "get all these links"
• "checkout all these resources"
• "gather these docs"
• "download these pages"

Execute:

./skills/scratchpad-fetch/scripts/fetch_urls.sh <url1> <url2> <url3> ...

Output: docs/scratchpad/YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.md

Script Behavior

fetch_urls.sh:

• Creates docs/scratchpad/ if missing
• Generates timestamp: YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS
• Downloads each URL with curl
• Appends all content to single file
• Adds headers/separators for readability
• Reports success/failure per URL

Example

User: "checkout all these resources: https://example.com/api https://example.com/guide"

./skills/scratchpad-fetch/scripts/fetch_urls.sh \
  https://example.com/api \
  https://example.com/guide

Output: docs/scratchpad/20250129_143052.md containing both pages.

Notes

• Dumb but effective for gathering fresh docs
• One prompt = one file
• curl follows redirects (-L)
• Failures logged but don't stop other URLs
