Where are the captured Markdown files stored?

Files are automatically saved in a structured directory format: url-to-markdown/[domain]/[slug].md, making it easy to manage large collections of captured content.

Does it require a specific browser to be installed?

It requires a Chrome-based browser. You can specify a custom executable path using the URL_CHROME_PATH environment variable if it's not in a default location.

How does this skill handle websites that require a login?

The skill includes a 'Wait Mode' that opens the page and pauses execution, allowing you to manually log in or navigate before signaling the agent to capture the content.

What metadata is included in the Markdown output?

Each file includes a YAML frontmatter block containing the source URL, page title, meta description, author name, and the timestamp of when it was captured.

Can it capture content from single-page applications (SPAs)?

Yes, because it uses Chrome CDP (Chrome DevTools Protocol), it waits for the JavaScript to execute and the network to become idle before converting the HTML to Markdown.

About

The URL to Markdown skill empowers Claude to bridge the gap between the live web and your local environment by capturing web content as high-quality Markdown. By utilizing Chrome CDP, it ensures that dynamic, JavaScript-heavy websites are fully rendered before conversion, preserving the structure and content that simpler scrapers miss. The skill offers two distinct modes: 'Auto Mode' for instant capture of public pages and 'Wait Mode' for interactive sessions, allowing users to handle logins, paywalls, or complex navigation before triggering the capture. Output is neatly organized by domain and includes rich YAML frontmatter for easy indexing and AI-driven analysis.
