URL Extraction

Extract content from: $ARGUMENTS

Command

Choose a short, descriptive filename based on the URL or content (e.g., vespa-docs, react-hooks-api). Use lowercase with hyphens, no spaces.

parallel-cli extract "$ARGUMENTS" --json -o "/tmp/$FILENAME.md"

Options if needed:

  • --objective "focus area" to focus on specific content

Response format

Return content as:

Page Title

Then the extracted content verbatim, with these rules:

  • Keep content verbatim - do not paraphrase or summarize
  • Parse lists exhaustively - extract EVERY numbered/bulleted item
  • Strip only obvious noise: nav menus, footers, ads
  • Preserve all facts, names, numbers, dates, quotes

After the response, mention the output file path (/tmp/$FILENAME.md) so the user knows it's available for follow-up questions.

Setup

If parallel-cli is not found, install and authenticate:

curl -fsSL https://parallel.ai/install.sh | bash

If unable to install that way, install via pipx instead:

pipx install "parallel-web-tools[cli]"
pipx ensurepath

Then authenticate:

parallel-cli login

Or set an API key: export PARALLEL_API_KEY="your-key"

Install

Requires askill CLI v1.0+

AI Quality Score

84/100Analyzed 3/30/2026

Well-structured skill for URL content extraction using parallel-cli. Clear when-to-use guidance, explicit command syntax with filename conventions, detailed response formatting rules requiring verbatim extraction, and comprehensive setup instructions with multiple installation paths. Reusable across various content types (webpages, PDFs, JS-heavy sites). Minor gap is lack of practical examples. Scores well on clarity, actionability, and reusability.
