Defuddle

Defuddle

Use Defuddle CLI when the user wants clean Markdown extracted from a web page. It removes navigation, ads, and other page clutter.

Check availability with defuddle --help. If it is missing, explain the dependency and offer installation with npm install -g defuddle. Do not claim extraction succeeded if the tool is unavailable or returns an error.

Usage

Always use --md for markdown output:

defuddle parse <url> --md

Save to file:

defuddle parse <url> --md -o content.md

Extract specific metadata:

defuddle parse <url> -p title
defuddle parse <url> -p description
defuddle parse <url> -p domain

Output formats

Flag	Format
--md	Markdown (default choice)
--json	JSON with both HTML and markdown
(none)	HTML
-p <name>	Specific metadata property
