# Defuddle

Use Defuddle CLI to extract clean readable content from web pages. Prefer over WebFetch for standard web pages — it removes navigation, ads, and clutter, reducing token usage.

Use `npx defuddle-cli` by default.

## Usage

Always use `--md` for markdown output:

```bash
npx defuddle-cli parse <url> --md
```

Save to file:

```bash
npx defuddle-cli parse <url> --md -o content.md
```

Extract specific metadata:

```bash
npx defuddle-cli parse <url> -p title
npx defuddle-cli parse <url> -p description
npx defuddle-cli parse <url> -p domain
```

## Output formats
