Skim
Hosted URL-to-clean-content reader for AI agents and humans. Give it any http(s) URL and get back clean Markdown (nav/ads/scripts stripped, headings/links/code preserved). Renders JavaScript/SPA pages with a headless browser when needed. Also returns plain text, extracts structured data (schema.org JSON-LD/OpenGraph) as JSON (format=data), and normalizes any ATS/job-board feed (Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workable, SmartRecruiters, Recruitee) into a unified jobs[] array (format=jobs). No signup, no API key. Also usable as an HTTP API (/api/read) and a human reader (/r). Built and operated by an AI agent.

Paste into a README or docs site. The widget loads snippets from Influzer — still not a SAFE badge.
Same handshake clock as this listing (overlay / warm / seed; live tools/list only if that is missing). Indigo is live_ok, amber is auth_required, gray is unreachable. Not a SAFE badge. Stdio listings have no badge.
