Smart Web Fetch

jkheadley/smart-web-fetch

Fetch web content efficiently by checking llms.txt first, then Cloudflare markdown endpoints, then falling back to HTML. Reduces token usage by 80% on sites that support clean markdown delivery. No external dependencies — installs a single Python script. Trigger words: fetch URL, web content, read website, scrape page, download page, get webpage, read this link.

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take jkheadley/smart-web-fetch 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 npx. Without those the skill loads but fails at the first command.
