Markdown instructions
A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.
Works with any LLM
AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.
Self-contained
Everything the model needs lives in the instructions — no extra files to sync.
Open source
Published by OpenMinis on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Web Content Extractor AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
Choose "Install from GitHub".
Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
https://github.com/OpenMinis/MinisSkills/tree/main/web-content-extractor
Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.

Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/OpenMinis/MinisSkills.git /tmp/MinisSkills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/MinisSkills/web-content-extractor .claude/skills/web-content-extractor

Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Web Content Extractor in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Web Content Extractor on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Web Content Extractor is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

Loaded only when it is needed
The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.
Switch models mid-chat
Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Web Content Extractor

This skill helps you extract the clean main content (body text/Markdown) from a webpage URL by using Defuddle or Jina AI's reader API.

How it works

To extract the content of a target URL, you will prepend a specific service URL to the target URL and fetch it. This converts the messy webpage into clean Markdown containing only the main content.

Available Services

Defuddle (Default)
- Format: https://defuddle.md/<target-url>
- Example: https://defuddle.md/https://example.com/article
- Use this as the primary method.
Jina AI Reader (Fallback)
- Format: https://r.jina.ai/<target-url>
- Example: https://r.jina.ai/https://example.com/article
- Use this if Defuddle fails or returns an error.

Execution Steps

Identify the target URL: Extract the full URL the user wants to read from their request. Ensure it includes the protocol (e.g., https://).
Construct the fetch URL: Prepend https://defuddle.md/ to the target URL.
Fetch the content: Use the shell_execute tool with curl -sL "FETCH_URL" to download the content.
- Example command: curl -sL "https://defuddle.md/https://example.com/article"
Handle Fallbacks: If the curl command fails, returns empty, or returns an error message indicating failure, try the Jina AI service instead: curl -sL "https://r.jina.ai/https://example.com/article"
Process the output: The output will be in Markdown format.
- If the user asked you to read it to answer a question, use the content to answer.
- If the user asked you to extract or save it, present the Markdown to them or save it to a file as requested.

Notes

Always enclose the URL in quotes in the curl command to prevent shell interpretation of special characters like & or ?.
If the target URL is missing http:// or https://, prepend https:// before appending it to the service URL.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Web Content Extractor AI skill do?

Why use Web Content Extractor on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Web Content Extractor is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Web Content Extractor in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/OpenMinis/MinisSkills/tree/main/web-content-extractor. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Web Content Extractor?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Web Content Extractor?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Web Content Extractor with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Web Content Extractor AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by OpenMinis under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
