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.
Why use this skill?
Install the Markdown.new skill for OpenClaw to instantly convert web documentation, GitHub READMEs, and blogs into structured, AI-readable Markdown via terminal.
Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/ctxinf/markdown-new-skillWhat This Skill Does
The markdown.new skill is a specialized utility for the OpenClaw agent designed to convert complex web content into clean, readable, and processable Markdown. Rather than navigating raw HTML or dealing with non-standard page structures, this skill leverages the markdown.new service to normalize web pages. By using this tool, the OpenClaw agent can efficiently extract technical documentation, README files, blog posts, and changelogs into a format that is easily parsed for summarization or analysis. It acts as an abstraction layer that sits between the raw internet and the AI's processing capabilities, ensuring high-quality, structured data ingestion.
Installation
You can integrate this skill into your environment by running the following command in your terminal:
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/ctxinf/markdown-new-skill
Ensure that your OpenClaw environment is updated to the latest version to maintain compatibility with the required dependencies and local curl access patterns.
Use Cases
This skill is intended for high-frequency web content consumption. Use it when you need to:
- Analyze technical documentation: Quickly fetch documentation from official vendor sites.
- Process Repository Data: Read README.md or contribution guidelines directly from GitHub or GitLab.
- Summarize Long-form content: Extract key insights from blog posts, product announcements, or industry reports.
- Changelog Auditing: Parse release notes or version histories for software updates.
- Documentation Aggregation: Combine information from multiple static sources into a single readable format for drafting reports or technical briefs.
Example Prompts
- "Read https://github.com/openclaw/core/blob/main/README.md and tell me what the core dependencies are."
- "Can you fetch the documentation from https://example.com/api/v1/reference and summarize the authentication requirements?"
- "Check the recent changelog at https://framework.com/changelog and highlight the top 3 features added in the last update."
Tips & Limitations
- Tip: Always prefer markdown.new for static content. It is significantly faster and more reliable than browsing full-page layouts.
- Tip: If a page is highly dynamic or heavily relies on JavaScript for initial rendering, the skill might fail. If you receive an error, confirm the URL is directly accessible.
- Limitation: This skill is optimized for documentation-heavy sites. It may not render complex interactive dashboards, media-heavy galleries, or web applications that require user authentication or session persistence effectively.
