Summary

URL content extraction. Use for fetching any URL - webpages, articles, PDFs, JavaScript-heavy sites. Token-efficient: runs in forked context. Prefer over built-in WebFetch.

1	# URL Extraction
2
3	Extract content from: $ARGUMENTS
4
5	## Command
6
7	Choose a short, descriptive filename based on the URL or content (e.g., `vespa-docs`, `react-hooks-api`). Use lowercase with hyphens, no spaces. Substitute it into the command inline — `$FILENAME` is a placeholder, not a shell variable.
8
9	```bash
10	parallel-cli extract "$ARGUMENTS" --json -o "/tmp/$FILENAME.json"
11	```
12
13	Concrete example:
14
15	```bash
16	parallel-cli extract "https://docs.parallel.ai" --json -o "/tmp/parallel-docs.json"
17	```
18
19	Note: `-o` always saves JSON. The extension must be `.json`.
20
21	Options if needed:
22
23	- `--objective "focus area"` to focus extraction on a specific goal (also silences the "neither objective nor search_queries" warning that V1 emits when neither is set)
24	- `-q "keyword"` (repeatable) to prioritize keywords in excerpts
25	- `--full-content` to include the complete page body (for long articles, PDFs, or when excerpts may not capture what you need)
26	- `--full-content-max-chars N` to cap full-content size per result
27	- `--no-excerpts` to strip excerpts when you only want full content
28
29	## Handling failed extractions
30
31	If the response has an `errors` field, an empty `results` array, or a 404/timeout for the URL, do NOT fabricate content. Tell the user the extraction failed, surface the upstream status, and suggest:
32
33	- Verifying the URL (the page may have moved)
34	- Retrying with `--full-content` if excerpts came back empty but the page exists
35	- Using `parallel-cli search` to locate the current URL if the page was renamed
36
37	## Response format
38
39	Return content as:
40
41	[Page Title](URL)
42
43	Then the extracted content verbatim, with these rules:
44
45	- Keep content verbatim - do not paraphrase or summarize
46	- Parse lists exhaustively - extract EVERY numbered/bulleted item
47	- Strip only obvious noise: nav menus, footers, ads
48	- Preserve all facts, names, numbers, dates, quotes
49
50	After the response, mention the output file path (`/tmp/$FILENAME.json`) so the user knows it's available for follow-up questions.
51
52	## Setup
53
54	If `parallel-cli` is not found, install and authenticate:
55
56	```bash
57	/parallel:parallel-cli-setup
58	```
59
60	If `parallel-cli extract` returns `403`, tell the user balance is likely required. Offer to run `parallel-cli balance get`, and if needed ask for explicit confirmation before running `parallel-cli balance add <amount_cents>`. Then retry the original extract command.
