What it does

Extract is an agent skill from aiskillstore/marketplace. Extract content from specific URLs using Tavily's extraction API. Returns clean markdown/text from web pages. Use when you have specific URLs and need their content without writing code.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/extract.sh` and `skill-report.json`).

It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering Web search. It works with Tavily. The repository describes itself as: Security-audited skills for Claude, Codex & Claude Code. One-click install, quality verified.

When your agent uses it

  • You have specific URLs and need their content without writing code
  • Tasks that involve Web search

Example prompts

  • “/extract”

Requirements

  • A Bash shell
  • A credential in TAVILY_API_KEY

Workflow steps

2 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Check for existing tokens in ~/.mcp-auth/
  2. If none found, automatically open your browser for OAuth authentication

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ad8daf7. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Shell), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • curl

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • api.tavily.com
    • docs.python.org

    Also links to:

    • tavily.com

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • TAVILY_API_KEY

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Extract loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 49 tokens; SKILL.md has 264 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~49
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 264 words (~1,309 tokens).

“Extract clean content from specific URLs. Ideal when you know which pages you want content from.”
