Web Reading (Router) (Deutsch)

Übersicht & Zweck

Fetch and process web content — but don't pick a tool blindly. This skill routes: purpose first, then the best available tool. The actual implementation lives in the web-scraper module; this skill only shows what is currently present and how to use it.

Step 1 — What is needed?

Process a web page?
  |
  +-- Main text (article / prose)   → "Content"     → Step 2A
  +-- Links / forms / headers       → "Structure"   → Step 2B
  +-- Rendered image of the page    → "Screenshot"  → Step 2C

Step 2 — Which tool? (Router)

Use the first available tool in each list. "Available" means the tool/skill/module is actually present in this session.

2A — Content (main text, clean markdown)

| Priority | Tool | Available when … | Usage | |---|---|---|---| | 1 | defuddle skill | skill defuddle listed | clean markdown from normal web pages | | 2 | Built-in WebFetch | agent has the WebFetch tool | quick read/summary of a URL | | 3 | fc_web_fetch (MCP) | FileCommander MCP loaded | mode: "extract" | | 4 | web-scraper module | module installed/importable | web-scraper extract <url> / extract(url) |

> Note: .md URLs are already markdown → use WebFetch directly, no extractor.

2B — Structure (links, forms, headers)

WebFetch/defuddle are not suitable here (they return processed text, not raw structure). Use instead:

| Priority | Tool | Available when … | Usage | |---|---|---|---| | 1 | fc_web_fetch (MCP) | FileCommander MCP loaded | mode: "links" \| "forms" \| "headers" | | 2 | web-scraper module | module installed/importable | web-scraper links\|forms\|headers <url> |

2C — Screenshot

| Priority | Tool | Available when … | Usage | |---|---|---|---| | 1 | web-scraper module | module with [screenshot] extra | web-scraper screenshot <url> --out img.png | | 2 | Browser automation tool | e.g. Playwright/Computer-Use present | page-dependent |

Step 3 — Fallback: nothing suitable found?

If no tool is available for the purpose, recommend installing the web-scraper module (full: get/links/forms/headers/extract/screenshot):

bash
# from the local module folder (.MODULES/.TOOLS/web-scraper) (Deutsch)
pip install ".[http,extract]"          # + [screenshot] for screenshots

# then: (Deutsch)
web-scraper extract <url>

As a library:

python
from web_scraper import WebScraper, extract
print(extract("https://example.com")["content"])

Last resort — standalone snippet (no dependencies beyond requests/bs4)

python
import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

def extract_content(url: str) -> str:
    """Simple content extraction."""
    response = requests.get(url, timeout=30)
    response.raise_for_status()
    soup = BeautifulSoup(response.text, "html.parser")
    for tag in soup(["script", "style", "nav", "header", "footer", "aside"]):
        tag.decompose()
    return soup.get_text(separator="\n", strip=True)

Änderungsprotokoll

1.1.0 (2026-07-05)

• Reworked from a plain protocol into a router: detects available web

capabilities (defuddle, WebFetch, fc_web_fetch, web-scraper module) and routes by purpose (content/structure/screenshot); otherwise recommends the web-scraper module.

• Unified name to web-reading (was webseiten-lesen in the DE version).
• Removed BACH CLI examples from the body (standalone-compliant; origin stays

documented in the bach_integration frontmatter).

1.0.0 (2026-03-12)

• Export from BACH v3.8.0 workflow webseiten-lesen.md
