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:

bash
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

  1. Validate input:
  • Accept only http:// or https:// URLs.
  • If input is not a URL, ask for one.
  1. Run gather:
  • Primary command:

``bash gather --metadata-yaml --inline-links --no-paragraph-links "<url>" ``

  1. 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 ``

  1. Return markdown text as the main result.

Output Contract

When successful, return:

  • url: original URL
  • title: extracted title when available
  • markdown: full markdown body
  • used_fallback: true if --no-readability or --html path 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:

bash
gather --metadata-yaml --inline-links --no-paragraph-links "https://example.com/article"

Fallback when readability extraction fails:

bash
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>" ``
