Scratchpad Fetch

Overview

Downloads web pages via curl and appends content to timestamped scratchpad file. All URLs from single user prompt → single file. Simple context gatherer for documentation.

Usage

When user provides URLs and asks to:

• "concatenate all these resources"

• "get all these links"

• "checkout all these resources"

• "gather these docs"

• "download these pages"

Execute:

./skills/scratchpad-fetch/scripts/fetch_urls.sh <url1> <url2> <url3> ...

Output: docs/scratchpad/YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.md

Script Behavior

fetch_urls.sh :

• Creates docs/scratchpad/ if missing

• Generates timestamp: YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS

• Downloads each URL with curl

• Appends all content to single file

• Adds headers/separators for readability

• Reports success/failure per URL

Example

User: "checkout all these resources: https://example.com/api https://example.com/guide"

./skills/scratchpad-fetch/scripts/fetch_urls.sh
https://example.com/api
https://example.com/guide

Output: docs/scratchpad/20250129_143052.md containing both pages.

Notes

• Dumb but effective for gathering fresh docs

• One prompt = one file

• curl follows redirects (-L )

• Failures logged but don't stop other URLs
