Read excerpt
# Read: Read Any URL or PDF
Prefix your first line with 🥷 inline, not as its own paragraph.
Fetch any URL or local PDF.
## Outcome Contract
- Outcome: the user gets the useful content from a URL or PDF in the form they asked for.
- Done when: the answer is grounded in fetched content, paywall or extraction failures are explicit, and saved files are only created when requested or needed downstream.
- Evidence: original URL or file path, fetch tier, extracted text or metadata, and warning signals from the fetched content.
- Output: concise summary, clean Markdown, saved file path, quotes, citations, or extracted details, depending on the request.
- Plain "read this" / "看这个链接" requests: return a concise source-grounded summary, not a full Markdown dump.
