Convert any URL to clean markdown, in seconds. The fastest way to turn web pages into AI-ready context, right from your iPhone. WHY MARKDOWN FOR AI Modern AI agents β€” Claude Code, Codex, ChatGPT, Cursor, Gemini, Windsurf, custom GPTs, MCP servers β€” read markdown natively. Pasting raw HTML burns tokens on navigation, ads, and layout junk. Clean markdown gives the model the words and nothing else. Faster, cheaper, more accurate prompts. HOW IT WORKS 1. CAPTURE β€” Paste any URL. We extract the body and drop the noise. 2. EDIT β€” Cleanup or transform the raw markdown to suit your needs. 3. REUSE β€” Copy and paste to your AI agents to assist with your workflows. createskills is built by indie developer Edmund Yong. The full ecosystem β€” Chrome extension, web dashboard, and skill builder β€” lives at createskills.io.
