baoyu-url-to-markdown

name baoyu-url-to-markdown description Fetch any URL and convert to markdown using baoyu-fetch CLI (Chrome CDP with site-specific adapters). Built-in adapters for X/Twitter, YouTube transcripts, Hacker News threads, and generic pages via Defuddle. Handles login/CAPTCHA via interaction wait modes. Use when user wants to save a webpage as markdown. version 1.61.0 metadata {"openclaw":{"homepage":"https://github.com/JimLiu/baoyu-skills#baoyu-url-to-markdown","requires":{"anyBins":"[Truncated]"}}} URL to Markdown Fetches any URL via baoyu-fetch CLI (Chrome CDP + site-specific adapters) and converts it to clean markdown. User Input Tools When this skill prompts the user, follow this tool-selection rule (priority order): Prefer built-in user-input tools exposed by the current agent runtime — e.g., AskUserQuestion , request_user_input , clarify , ask_user , or any equivalent. Fallback : if no such tool exists, emit a numbered plain-text message and ask the user to reply with the chosen number/answer for each question. Batching : if the tool supports multiple questions per call, combine all applicable questions into a single call; if only single-question, ask them one at a time in priority order. Concrete AskUserQuestion references below are examples — substitute the local equivalent in other runtimes. CLI Setup Important : The CLI source is vendored in {baseDir}/scripts/lib . scripts/package.json installs only third-party runtime dependencies. Agent Execution Instructions : Determine this SKILL.md file's directory path as {baseDir} Resolve ${BUN} runtime: if bun installed → bun ; else suggest installing Bun If {baseDir}/scripts/node_modules does not exist, run ${BUN} install --cwd {baseDir}/scripts ${READER} = {baseDir}/scripts/baoyu-fetch Replace all ${READER} in this document with the resolved value Preferences (EXTEND.md) Check EXTEND.md in priority order — the first one found wins: Priority Path Scope 1 .baoyu-skills/baoyu-url-to-markdown/EXTEND.md Project 2 ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}/baoyu-skills/baoyu-url-to-markdown/EXTEND.md XDG 3 $HOME/.baoyu-skills/baoyu-url-to-markdown/EXTEND.md User home Result Action Found Read, parse, apply settings Not found MUST run first-time setup (see below) — do NOT silently create defaults EXTEND.md supports : download media by default, default output directory. First-Time Setup ⛔ BLOCKING When EXTEND.md is not found, you MUST use AskUserQuestion to gather preferences before creating EXTEND.md. NEVER create EXTEND.md with silent defaults. Generation is BLOCKED until setup completes. Batch all three questions into a single call: Q1 — Media (header "Media"): "How to handle images and videos in pages?" "Ask each time (Recommended)" — Prompt after each save "Always download" — Download to local imgs/ and videos/ "Never download" — Keep remote URLs Q2 — Output (header "Output"): "Default output directory?" "url-to-markdown (Recommended)" — Save to ./url-to-markdown/{domain}/{slug}.md User may pick "Other" and type a custom path Q3 — Save (header "Save"): "Where to save preferences?" "User (Recommended)" — ~/.baoyu-skills/ (all projects) "Project" — .baoyu-skills/ (this project only) After answers, write EXTEND.md, confirm "Preferences saved to [path]", then continue.

Requires --output --media-dir <dir> Base directory for downloaded media (default: same as --output directory) --cdp-url <url> Reuse existing Chrome DevTools Protocol endpoint --browser-path <path> Custom Chrome/Chromium binary path --chrome-profile-dir <path> Chrome user data directory (default: BAOYU_CHROME_PROFILE_DIR env or ./baoyu-skills/chrome-profile ) --debug-dir <dir> Write debug artifacts (document.json, markdown.md, page.html, network.json) Agent Quality Gate CRITICAL : treat default headless capture as provisional. Some sites render differently in headless mode and can silently return low-quality content without failing the CLI. After every headless run, inspect the saved markdown. See references/quality-gate.md for the full checklist, recovery workflow, and capture-mode table. Read it whenever a run looks suspicious or the user asks about login/CAPTCHA handling. Output Path Generation The agent must construct the output file path — baoyu-fetch does not auto-generate paths. Algorithm : Determine base directory from EXTEND.md default_output_dir or default ./url-to-markdown/ Extract domain from URL (e.g., example.com ) Generate slug from URL path or page title (kebab-case, 2-6 words) Construct: {base_dir}/{domain}/{slug}/{slug}.md — each URL gets its own directory so media files stay isolated Conflict resolution: append timestamp {slug}-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS/{slug}-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS.md Pass the constructed path to --output . Media files ( --download-media ) are saved into subdirectories next to the markdown file, keeping each URL's assets self-contained. Adapters & Media See references/adapters.md for the adapter catalog (X, YouTube, Hacker News, generic), per-adapter notes, the media download flow ( ask / always / never), and the JSON output schema. Read it before answering adapter-specific questions or handling media prompts. Environment Variables Variable Description BAOYU_CHROME_PROFILE_DIR Chrome user data directory (can also use --chrome-profile-dir ) Troubleshooting : Chrome not found → use --browser-path . Timeout → increase --timeout . Login/CAPTCHA → --wait-for interaction . Debug → --debug-dir to inspect captured HTML and network logs. Extension Support Custom configurations via EXTEND.md. See Preferences section above for paths and supported keys.
