What it does

Curl Md is an agent skill from wevm/curl.md. Fetch web pages and docs as optimized markdown with curl.md. Use when the user shares a URL, asks about page content, or you need to read web page or webfetch.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k 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 Documents & Office, covering Markdown. The repository describes itself as: URL to markdown for agents. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

The user shares a URL
Asks about page content
You need to read web page

Example prompts

“/curl-md”

Requirements

Node.js
A credential in CURLMD_API_KEY

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 72bab6a. 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:
- curl
- npx
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:
- curl.md
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
- CURLMD_API_KEY
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Curl Md loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 42 tokens; SKILL.md has 480 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~42
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~1.2k

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.

SKILL.md

The full file from wevm/curl.md at commit 72bab6a, republished under its MIT licence (© wevm). 480 words, ~1,204 tokens.

name: curl-md
description: Fetch web pages and docs as optimized markdown with curl.md. Use when the user shares a URL, asks about page content, or you need to read web page or webfetch.

curl.md

Use curl.md to turn URLs into agent-friendly markdown with less noise and fewer tokens.

When to Use

Use curl.md when:

The user shares a URL or asks what a page says
You just need to quickly fetch one page without setting up a deeper integration
You need docs, changelogs, articles, reference pages, or API docs as markdown before answering
You want to narrow a long page to a specific question or task
You need current curl.md usage for the CLI, hosted HTTP endpoint, skills, or MCP

Preferred Entry Points

Prefer these in order:

The local curl.md CLI or md alias when available
The hosted HTTP endpoint at https://curl.md/<url>
For curl.md's own docs, the canonical .md docs endpoints or Accept: text/markdown

For normal page fetches, prefer the stable top-level fetch interface (curl.md/<url> or client.fetch(...)). Avoid lower-level experimental /api routes unless the task is specifically about auth, orgs, tokens, invites, or request history.

Stable Request Vocabulary

Prefer these names in new usage:

objective — narrow output to a specific question or task
keywords — pre-filter the page before extraction; comma-separated in HTTP/CLI strings
mode — smart or rush; only matters with objective
fresh — bypass cache and force a fresh fetch
token — API key auth in the CLI; raw HTTP should prefer Authorization: Bearer <token>

smart is the default and best for most docs lookups. Use rush when speed matters more than recall.

HTTP aliases still work (q/o, k, m, f), but prefer the full names above in new examples and instructions.

CLI

Prefer the CLI when it is installed locally. It handles auth, organization context, higher-level commands, and agent-friendly workflows.

# Basic fetch
curl.md example.com
md example.com

# Narrow to a specific task
curl.md docs.github.com/en/webhooks/webhook-events-and-payloads \
  --objective "pull request webhook event payload and actions" \
  --keywords pull_request

# Faster, less thorough pass
curl.md developers.cloudflare.com/d1/get-started \
  --objective "how to query D1 from a worker" \
  --keywords D1,bindings \
  --mode rush

# Force a fresh fetch
curl.md example.com --fresh

# Use API key auth
curl.md example.com --token "$CURLMD_API_KEY"

Notes:

No protocol required for the target URL. curl.md normalizes to HTTPS unless the URL already specifies http:// or https://.
curl.md fetch <url> is equivalent to the root curl.md <url> command.
If the user asks for latest or recent content, add --fresh.

Show full SKILL.md (172 more words)Show less

Hosted HTTP Endpoint

Use the hosted HTTP endpoint when the CLI is unavailable or when you just need to quickly fetch one page.

Examples

# Default response is markdown
curl "https://curl.md/example.com"

# Narrow with stable query names
curl "https://curl.md/developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Fetch_API/Using_Fetch?objective=streaming+response+body&keywords=ReadableStream,getReader"

# Force a fresh fetch
curl "https://curl.md/example.com?fresh"

# Request JSON instead of markdown
curl "https://curl.md/example.com" -H 'Accept: application/json'

# Authenticated request
curl "https://curl.md/example.com" -H "Authorization: Bearer $CURLMD_API_KEY"

Successful fetches return markdown by default. JSON responses have the shape:

json

{
  "content": "# Example\n..."
}

Agent Setup

When the user asks to install or wire curl.md into an agent/editor, use the current setup commands:

# Install hosted skills
npx skills add https://curl.md --yes

# Sync CLI-generated skills into supported agents
curl.md skills add
curl.md skills add --no-global

# Run as MCP stdio server
curl.md --mcp

# Register the MCP server with an agent
curl.md mcp add
curl.md mcp add --agent claude-code

Prefer first-party plugins over raw CLI or MCP when the target agent has an official curl.md integration.

Best Practices

Use objective when only part of a long page matters.
Add keywords when you already know the terms that matter and want to shrink the search space first.
Use fresh for changelogs, status pages, release notes, or any request where freshness matters.
Use auth when the user needs higher limits, paid usage, or account/org-scoped behavior.
For curl.md docs, prefer .md docs pages or llms.txt over HTML fetches.

Limitations

Paywalled or authenticated content still requires valid access.
Some highly dynamic pages may still be incomplete or noisy.
Errors are returned as JSON with stable string code and human-readable message fields.
