Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned softaworks/agent-toolkit at 3027f20f31.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

About this skill

What it does

This skill converts web pages to clean Markdown format using a locally installed browser and the web2md tool. It handles JavaScript-rendered pages by leveraging Puppeteer with a Chrome/Chromium-based browser, extracts the main content of the page (using Readability), and then transforms it into Markdown (with Turndown) including cleaned links and optional YAML frontmatter. This is particularly useful for integrating web scraping and content extraction into automated workflows.

When to use it

  • You need to convert a webpage with dynamic JavaScript content into a Markdown document.
  • You want to automate the process of extracting content from multiple webpages and saving them as Markdown files.
  • A webpage requires user interaction (login) before the main content is available, and you need to incorporate that step into the conversion process.
  • You require a specific browser profile for authentication or session management when converting web pages.

Key capabilities

  • Handles JavaScript-rendered webpages using Puppeteer and Chrome/Chromium browsers.
  • Extracts primary content from webpages using Readability.
  • Converts extracted content to Markdown format with Turndown.
  • Supports optional YAML frontmatter in the output Markdown.
  • Provides options for printing output to standard output or saving it as a file or directory.
  • Includes interactive mode for handling login walls and user verification.

Example prompts

Tips & gotchas

  • Explicit Skill Invocation: This skill requires you to explicitly request it using "use the skill web-to-markdown" or "use a skill web-to-markdown". Otherwise, the agent will prompt for clarification.
  • web2md Dependency: The web2md tool must be installed locally. If missing, the agent will provide instructions on how to install it (typically involving cloning and building from source).
  • Browser Compatibility: This skill works best with Chromium-family browsers (Chrome, Chromium, Brave, Edge).
