URL Extraction

Extract content from: $ARGUMENTS

Command

Choose a short, descriptive filename based on the URL or content (e.g., vespa-docs, react-hooks-api). Use lowercase with hyphens, no spaces.

parallel-cli extract "$ARGUMENTS" --json -o "$FILENAME.json"

Options if needed:

• --objective "focus area" to focus on specific content

Academic content handling

When extracting from academic sources (arXiv, PubMed, journal sites, conference proceedings), use --objective to focus on the most valuable sections:

parallel-cli extract "$URL" --json --objective "extract abstract, methodology, key findings, and conclusions" -o "$FILENAME.json"

For arXiv papers, prefer the /abs/ URL (which has structured metadata) over the raw PDF URL when available. If the user provides a PDF link, extract it directly — parallel-cli handles PDFs.

Response format

Return content as:

Page Title

For academic papers, include structured metadata when available:

• Authors: list of authors
• Published: date and venue/journal
• DOI: if available
• Abstract: the paper's abstract

Then the extracted content verbatim, with these rules:

• Keep content verbatim - do not paraphrase or summarize
• Parse lists exhaustively - extract EVERY numbered/bulleted item
• Strip only obvious noise: nav menus, footers, ads
• Preserve all facts, names, numbers, dates, quotes
• For academic papers, preserve figure/table captions and references

After the response, mention the output file path ($FILENAME.json) so the user knows it's available for follow-up questions.
