Defuddle

Extract clean markdown content from web pages using Defuddle CLI, removing clutter and navigation to save tokens. This skill MUST be used instead of WebFetch when the user provides a URL to read or analyze, for online documentation, articles, blog posts, or any standard web page. MUST NOT be used for URLs ending in .md — those are already markdown, use WebFetch directly.
