What is markdown-new?
The markdown-new skill provides a robust bridge between the raw web and AI-native workflows. By integrating with the markdown.new service, this Openclaw Skills extension enables developers to convert complex, JavaScript-heavy web pages into structured Markdown text. This process is essential for reducing token costs in large language model prompts and improving the accuracy of Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems by stripping away unnecessary HTML noise and boilerplate.
Built for speed and flexibility, the skill handles everything from simple blog posts to complex single-page applications. It provides fine-grained control over rendering methods, allowing developers to choose between standard conversion, AI-enhanced extraction, or full headless browser rendering. This ensures that the resulting data is always high-quality and ready for immediate use in Openclaw Skills automation pipelines.
markdown-new Use Cases
- Preparing web documentation for ingestion into local vector databases and RAG pipelines.
- Automating the summarization of industry news and technical articles for research agents.
- Reducing token usage for LLM prompts by converting bloated HTML to dense Markdown.
- Scraping content from JS-rendered websites that standard crawlers often fail to capture.
How markdown-new Works
- The user provides a public URL to be processed by the skill via the command line or script.
- The system validates the URL and determines the best conversion method, starting with the default auto setting.
- If JavaScript rendering is required for the content to appear, the skill re-runs using the browser method for a full headless render.
- Optional parameters like image retention are applied based on whether visual context is needed for the AI task.
- The skill fetches the content and returns a standardized Markdown output along with critical metadata like token counts and rate limit status.
markdown-new Setup
To get started with this Openclaw Skills extension, ensure you have Python 3 installed and navigate to the skill directory to execute the fetcher.
# Navigate to the skill root to ensure proper path resolution
cd ~/.codex/skills/markdown-new
# Test a basic fetch to verify the installation and connectivity
python3 scripts/markdown_new_fetch.py 'https://example.com'
