What problem does it solve?
This Skill addresses the challenge of fetching web content when the primary WebFetch method fails, by automatically routing requests to alternative, reliable fetch methods based on URL type.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Auto URL-type routing: classifies URLs into categories (GitHub, docs sites, blogs, and JS-rendered pages) and selects the best available fetch path.
- Multi-method fetch: uses gh CLI for GitHub content, curl-based parsing with pandoc/html2text/lynx, and agent-browser for JS-rendered pages.
- Proxies and headers: supports https_proxy, custom user-agent, and timeout, with colored logs for easy monitoring.
- Use Case: Retrieve a GitHub README, render a docs site to plain text, or fetch a JS-heavy page when standard fetch is blocked.
Quick Start
Use the fetch.sh script to retrieve a URL: bash ~/.claude/skills/web-fetch-fallback/scripts/fetch.sh <url> [method]
