What it does
Import Web Markdown With Gather is an agent skill from ttscoff/gather-cli. Import web pages as clean markdown using the local gather CLI. Use when the user asks to fetch a URL as markdown, clip a page into notes, archive readable article text, or convert web content into markdown for context.
Its SKILL.md is about 620 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 46 other files, including scripts (for example `.github/workflows/release.yml`, `CHANGELOG.md` and `LICENSE.md`).
It sits in Documents & Office, covering Markdown. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- The user asks to fetch a URL as markdown
- Clip a page into notes
- Archive readable article text
- Convert web content into markdown for context
Example prompts
- “/import-web-markdown-with-gather”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Validate input
- Run gather
- On failure, retry with fallback mode
- Return markdown text as the main result.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f3ae4eb. 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/ (Ruby and Swift, from the files we listed), which the agent can run.
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
Import Web Markdown With Gather loads about 623 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 63 tokens; SKILL.md has 215 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

- description
- Import web pages as clean markdown using the local gather CLI. Use when the user asks to fetch a URL as markdown, clip a page into notes, archive readable article text, or convert web content into markdown for context.
Import Web Markdown With Gather
Purpose
Use gather as the default local tool for converting a URL into readable markdown.
Recommended Defaults
Run gather with these settings unless the user asks otherwise:
gather --metadata-yaml --inline-links --no-paragraph-links "<url>"Rationale:
--metadata-yaml: Adds title/date/source in front matter for downstream indexing.--inline-links: Keeps links close to text for RAG/chunk readability.--no-paragraph-links: Avoids repeated reference blocks after each paragraph.
Required Workflow
Validate input:
- Accept only
http://orhttps://URLs. - If input is not a URL, ask for one.
- Accept only
Run gather:
Primary command:
bash gather --metadata-yaml --inline-links --no-paragraph-links "<url>"
On failure, retry with fallback mode:
First fallback:
bash gather --metadata-yaml --inline-links --no-paragraph-links \ --no-readability "<url>"If the page still fails and raw HTML is available, pass HTML directly:
bash printf "%s" "$HTML" | gather --html --stdin --metadata-yaml \ --inline-links --no-paragraph-links
Return markdown text as the main result.
Output Contract
When successful, return:
url: original URLtitle: extracted title when availablemarkdown: full markdown bodyused_fallback:trueif--no-readabilityor--htmlpath was used
Safety And Limits
- Do not execute JavaScript from pages.
- Do not follow login-only pages automatically.
- Preserve the original URL in output metadata.
- If output is empty or too short, report a partial extraction warning.
Examples
Basic import:
gather --metadata-yaml --inline-links --no-paragraph-links "https://example.com/article"Fallback when readability extraction fails:
gather --metadata-yaml --inline-links --no-paragraph-links --no-readability "https://example.com/article"Optional Variants
Add title only:
bash gather --title-only "<url>"Plain body without source/title injection:
bash gather --no-include-source --no-include-title "<url>"
