The instruction itself

4 sections, as written by the author

URL Skill

Fetches a web URL using httpx, strips navigation/script/style tags with

BeautifulSoup, and returns clean body text. PDF URLs are extracted with

pypdf (primary) and pdfminer.six (fallback).

Setup

pip install httpx beautifulsoup4

# Optional — needed only if you ingest PDF URLs:
pip install pypdf pdfminer.six

Standalone usage

import asyncio
from synthadoc.skills.url.scripts.main import UrlSkill

skill = UrlSkill()

async def main():
    result = await skill.extract("https://example.com/article")
    print(result.text)          # clean body text
    print(result.metadata)      # {"url": "https://..."}

asyncio.run(main())

DomainBlockedException is raised when the site returns HTTP 401, 403, or

429. Catch it to log and skip the domain:

from synthadoc.skills.base import DomainBlockedException

try:
    result = await skill.extract(url)
except DomainBlockedException as e:
    print(f"Blocked: {e.domain} (HTTP {e.status_code})")

When this skill is used

  • Source starts with https:// or http://
  • User intent contains: fetch url, web page, website

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take axoviq-ai/url from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.

Install what it needs

The instructions reference pip. Without those the skill loads but fails at the first command.
