Save web pages as Markdown

Saves web pages as Markdown, with special handling for posts on X and YouTube.

Good for: People who want to save posts and web pages into their notes

Before you start: You'll need Bun and Chrome installed. For pages that need a login, you'll have to log in yourself in the browser.

Read this first: The first time, it asks how to handle images and which folder to save to.

What you can do once it's installed

Just say the “You say to AI” line, with your own details swapped in.

Save a long thread

You say to AI

Save this long thread on X as Markdown, and download the images too.

What AI does

  1. 1.Opens the link in Chrome
  2. 2.Grabs the content using rules made for X
  3. 3.Saves the images to a local folder

What you get

A Markdown file, with all the images saved locally.

Grab a page that needs a login

You say to AI

This page needs a login. Open it, wait for me to log in, then grab it.

What AI does

  1. 1.Opens a browser window and waits for you to log in
  2. 2.Carries on grabbing the main text once you're in
  3. 3.Checks that the saved content is complete

What you get

Text you can only see after logging in, saved as Markdown.

How to install

Which AI tool do you use?

  1. 1. Open the Terminal app on your computer, paste the line below and press Enter

    npx skills add JimLiu/baoyu-skills@baoyu-url-to-markdown -g

    With no tool name, the command looks for the AI tools on your computer and asks where to install. If it says npx is missing or too old, install the latest Node.js (22 or newer) first.

    First time using the terminal?
    • How to open it: on a Mac, press ⌘ + Space and search “Terminal”. On Windows, search “PowerShell” in the Start menu. In Cursor, Trae or VS Code, use the menu Terminal → New Terminal.
    • Windows says “running scripts is disabled”: change npx at the start of the command to npx.cmd and try again.
    • If a list pops up: move with the arrow keys, press Space to tick the tools you want, then press Enter.
    • How to tell it worked: you'll see a success message. Reopen your AI tool and ask “What Skills do you have now?” to check.

    Don't feel like opening a terminal?

    Tools like Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and Trae can run commands themselves. Send them this:

    Please run this command in my terminal and tell me how it went: npx skills add JimLiu/baoyu-skills@baoyu-url-to-markdown -g

  2. 2. Reopen your AI tool

    New Skills only get picked up after a restart.

  3. 3. Just say what you want

    Say it the way the examples do. To call it by name, say “Use baoyu-url-to-markdown to help me…”.
