What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-30, confidence not recorded

A Node.js CLI tool that crawls an entire website and saves its pages as a single text file, using Mozilla Readability to extract clean content. It is designed to prepare site content as context for AI/LLM models.

Use cases

  • scrape a whole website into one text file for LLM context
  • fetch only blog and docs pages from a site
  • extract readable content from web pages for AI models
  • crawl documentation sites to feed into a chatbot
  • convert a website to plain text offline

When to choose

  • you need a site's content as plain text for AI model input
  • you want a quick zero-config CLI crawler with glob page matching
  • you want readable-content extraction with optional CSS selectors

When to avoid

  • you need JavaScript-rendered SPA content at scale
  • you need structured data exports like JSON or CSV
  • you need a full-featured scraping framework with scheduling or proxies
