About Defuddle
A skill from the claude-obsidian project. It treats the Defuddle web page cleaner as an optional external tool: it writes inert extraction plans for HTTPS URLs, rejects unsafe URLs, and captures source files that are already on disk into the vault through a reviewed filesystem step. Live network extraction stays switched off until a verified adapter is installed.
Best for
Obsidian users building a research wiki who care about privacy controls
Use cases
- Prepare a web article for later ingestion into an Obsidian wiki
- Capture local copies of sources with a reviewed step
- Plan which pages to clean without fetching anything yet
Notes
Why it matters
Pulling web pages into a personal knowledge base can leak data or bring in junk. This skill keeps each step explicit and reviewable.
