# Read a web page

One command, already on `PATH`. Run it in your shell (the `terminal` tool in
Hermes, Bash in Claude Code, `bash` in pi) exactly as shown: no `python3` in
front and no directory. It is not a tool itself.

```bash
read-page.py "<url>"                  # the page's title and main text as markdown
read-page.py "<url>" --max 8000       # only the first 8000 characters
```

Long pages may be cut; use `--max` to keep the start that matters. It cannot read
pages that need JavaScript or a login (Bluesky, X, most web apps): when it says
so, tell the user rather than retrying.

Do not use `curl`, a browser tool or web search to read a page. For Reddit and
Hacker News threads, prefer those skills' `fetch-thread.py` when you have them:
it keeps the comments' order and votes.
