The instructions your AI receives, as published by pinpox/opencrow in skills/web/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

You can browse the web using command-line tools via the bash tool.

curl -sL "https://example.com"

Use -sL to follow redirects silently. Add -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" to check status codes.

lynx -dump "https://example.com"

Or with w3m:

w3m -dump "https://example.com"

These render HTML to plain text, making web pages readable without HTML tags.

curl -sLO "https://example.com/file.tar.gz"

curl -s "https://api.example.com/data" | jq .

Use jq to parse and filter JSON responses.

Always use curl -sL (silent + follow redirects) as the default.
For long pages, pipe through head -n 100 to avoid excessive output.
Use lynx -dump when you need to read a web page — it handles tables, links, and formatting.
Check if lynx or w3m are available with which lynx w3m before using them.
