markdown.new

Use markdown.new URLs like `https://markdown.new/{target_url}` to fetch and convert pages into static Markdown. Trigger this skill whenever the user asks to open/read/extract/summarize content from a web link (such as static resource, docs, README, blog post, changelog); Always try markdown.new first and prefer local terminal access (`curl`) instead of direct browsing when markdown.new can serve the page.

Markdown.New Local-First Static Access

Use markdown.new as the default path to access URL content as structured Markdown.

Required Behavior

1. Prefer local access with curl (or any suitable alternative tools):

curl -L --fail --silent --show-error "https://markdown.new/<target_url>"

2. Always attempt markdown.new first when the target is a readable page:

• docs and manuals
• GitHub repository home/README pages
• blog posts and announcements
• landing pages and product pages
• changelog and release-note pages

3. Do not start with direct page browsing if markdown.new can reasonably handle the page.

4. When markdown.new succeeds, keep using this route for that task unless the user explicitly asks for another method.

5. If markdown.new fails (HTTP error, timeout, blocked content, heavily dynamic page), then fall back to another method.

Examples

curl -L --fail --silent --show-error "https://markdown.new/https://github.com/ctxinf/markdown.new-skill"

curl -L --fail --silent --show-error "https://markdown.new/https://example.com/docs/getting-started"

Output Expectation

The result should be static, structured Markdown suitable for quick reading, summarization, extraction, and downstream processing.
