What it does

Scraping HTML To Markdown is an agent skill from hashgraph-online/awesome-codex-plugins. Use when the user wants a single page rendered as clean Markdown plus structured metadata. Covers kreuzcrawl scrape <url, JSON vs Markdown output, what metadata is returned, and how to handle JS-heavy pages.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Data & Analytics, covering Web scraping and Markdown. The repository describes itself as: A curated list of awesome OpenAI Codex / ChatGPT plugins, skills, and resources. The 1 Codex Marketplace. See live plugins at: https://hol.org/plugins/best-codex-plugins. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • The user wants a single page rendered as clean Markdown plus structured metadata
  • Tasks that involve Web scraping
  • Tasks that involve Markdown

Example prompts

  • “/scraping-html-to-markdown”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9e7b281. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • jq

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

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

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

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

Context cost

Scraping HTML To Markdown loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 59 tokens; SKILL.md has 400 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~59
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
Use when the user wants a single page rendered as clean Markdown plus structured metadata. Covers `kreuzcrawl scrape <url>`, JSON vs Markdown output, what metadata is returned, and how to handle JS-heavy pages.

Scraping HTML to Markdown

kreuzcrawl scrape <url> is the right tool when the user has a single page in mind. It returns Markdown plus a full structured payload (metadata, links, images, JSON-LD, HTTP response info).

Quick recipe

bash
kreuzcrawl scrape https://example.com/article --format markdown

JSON form (default) when downstream needs metadata:

bash
kreuzcrawl scrape https://example.com/article --format json

Flag surface

FlagDefaultPurpose
--formatjsonjson or markdown.
--timeout30000Per-request timeout in ms.
--proxy—HTTP, HTTPS, or SOCKS5 proxy URL.
--user-agent—Override request UA.
--respect-robots-txtoffHonour robots.txt.
--browser-modeautoauto, always, never — see headless-fallback skill.
--browser-endpoint—External CDP ws:// URL.
--config—Inline JSON or @file.json for full CrawlConfig.

Output shape

Markdown mode

Prints the rendered Markdown only. Use when piping to a file the user will read, or when the result becomes LLM context downstream.

JSON mode

Top-level PageResult with:

  • url, final_url (after redirects), status_code.
  • markdown: { content, fit_content, warnings } — fit_content is a pruned LLM-optimised variant.
  • metadata: Open Graph, Twitter Card, Dublin Core, article tags, JSON-LD, headings (H1–H6), feeds, favicons, hreflang.
  • links: arrays for Internal, External, Anchor, and Document.
  • images: <img>, <picture>, srcset, og:image.
  • tables: structured table data preserved separately from Markdown.
  • response: HTTP headers, content type, charset, body size.

Read result.markdown.content for the Markdown string when scripting.

Common pitfalls

Empty or stub content

Static fetch returned a JS shell. Symptoms in JSON output:

  • markdown.content is short or only contains nav/footer chrome.
  • markdown.warnings mentions JS-render-required.
  • metadata.headings is empty when the page clearly has headings.

Re-run with --browser-mode always and see the headless-fallback skill.

Show full SKILL.md (160 more words)Show less
WAF block

Auto mode detects 8 WAF vendors and retries through headless Chrome automatically. If you forced --browser-mode never, the WAF response will fall through. Check response.status_code — 403/406/503 with WAF headers (server: cloudflare, x-amz-cf-id, etc.) is the giveaway.

Robots.txt blocking the fetch

If --respect-robots-txt is set and the path is disallowed, the scrape returns an error rather than partial content. Drop the flag only on hosts you own or have authorisation for.

Wrong charset

Most pages declare UTF-8. Pages that lie about their charset surface as mojibake in markdown.content. Override via --config '{"force_encoding":"latin-1"}' or similar.

Examples

Scrape an article for downstream LLM context
bash
kreuzcrawl scrape https://blog.example.com/post-123 --format markdown \
  > /tmp/article.md
Scrape with proxy and custom UA
bash
kreuzcrawl scrape https://example.com \
  --proxy http://proxy.internal:3128 \
  --user-agent "kreuzcrawl (research@example.com)" \
  --format json
Extract just the OG metadata
bash
kreuzcrawl scrape https://example.com --format json \
  | jq '.metadata | {title: .og.title, description: .og.description, image: .og.image}'

When to reach for crawl or interact instead

  • The user wants the whole site, not one page → crawling-a-site skill.
  • The user needs to click, type, or scroll before extracting → use kreuzcrawl interact with the action list.
  • The user only wants the list of URLs → kreuzcrawl map.
