Distil Skill

Gives agents discoverable, consistent access to the Distil proxy — no manual URL construction, no remembering headers or API keys.

Distil converts web pages into clean Markdown, saving 60–80% of tokens for LLM consumption.

Setup

1. Get your free API key with email verification from https://distil.net (sign up or use your existing key)
2. Set the DISTIL_API_KEY environment variable
3. Optional: set DISTIL_PROXY_URL (defaults to https://proxy.distil.net)

Commands

# Fetch any URL as clean Markdown
curl -s "${DISTIL_PROXY_URL:-https://proxy.distil.net}/https://example.com" \
  -H "X-Distil-Key: $DISTIL_API_KEY"
