Create md from browsermcp snapshot

Create Markdown from BrowserMCP Snapshot

This skill converts a raw accessibility tree snapshot captured by BrowserMCP (via the browser_snapshot tool) into a beautifully formatted, high-fidelity Markdown document.

When to Use

Use this skill when:

• You have captured a webpage's accessibility tree YAML using the BrowserMCP browser_snapshot tool.
• You need to generate a structured, high-fidelity Markdown (.md) representation of the page content.
• You want to extract clean lists, tables, headers, blockquotes, and link destinations from the captured page layout.

Note: this skill complements browser navigation using the BrowserMCP tool. It is NOT intended to be used with other browser navigation tools, such as Playwright or the Antigravity built-in browser agent. Be sure to be explicit about what tools to use and what to avoid.

How it Works

The skill runs a Python parser that reads the captured accessibility tree YAML snapshot, builds a parent-child node hierarchy, and recursively converts the tags and properties into Markdown text.

Execution Procedure

1. Capture Snapshot: Navigate to the target URL using the BrowserMCP browser_navigate and run browser_snapshot to output the accessibility tree.
2. Execute Parser: Run the python script parse_snapshot.py passing the absolute path of the captured snapshot text file as an argument and specifying the output Markdown path.

python3 ./create-md-from-browsermcp-snapshot/scripts/parse_snapshot.py --input <snapshot_path> --output <markdown_path> [--start-heading <heading_title>] [--end-marker <footer_text>]
