web-to-markdown
Use ONLY when the user explicitly says: 'use the skill web-to-markdown ...' (or 'use a skill web-to-markdown ...'). Converts webpage URLs to clean Markdown by calling the local web2md CLI (Puppeteer + Readability), suitable for JS-rendered pages.
Why this skill is useful
Adds specific commands and usage patterns for converting web pages to Markdown that the AI wouldn't reliably generate on its own.

What this skill does
web-to-markdown Convert web pages to clean Markdown by driving a locally installed browser (via web2md). Hard trigger gate (must enforce) This skill MUST NOT be used unless the user explicitly wrote exactly a phrase like: use the skill web-to-markdown ... use a skill web-to-markdown ... If the user did not explicitly request this skill by name, stop and ask them to re-issue the request including: use the skill web-to-markdown. What this skill does Handles JS-rendered pages (Puppeteer → user Chrome). Works best with Chromium-family browsers (Chrome/Chromium/Brave/Edge) via puppeteer-core. Extracts main content (Readability). Converts to Markdown (Turndown) with cleaned links and optional YAML frontmatter. Non-goals Do not use Playwright or other browser automation stacks; the mechanism is web2md. Inputs you should collect (ask only if missing) url (or a list of URLs) Output preference: Print to stdout (--print), OR Save to a file (--out ./file.md), OR Save to a directory (--out ./some-dir/ to auto-name by page title) Optional rendering controls for tricky pages: --chrome-path <path> (if Chrome auto-detection fails) --interactive (show Chrome and pause so the user can complete human checks/login, then press Enter) --wait-until load domcontentloaded networkidle0 networkidle2 --wait-for '<css selector>' --wait-ms <milliseconds> --headful (debug) --no-sandbox (sometimes required in containers/CI) --user-data-dir <dir> (login/session; use a dedicated profile directory) Workflow 1) Confirm the user explicitly invoked the skill (use the skill web-to-markdown). 2) Validate URL(s) start with http:// or https://. …
