# page-collect

Extract structured resources from any webpage with `web page collect`.

## Requirements

Node 22+ and `playwright-cli` >= 0.1.20 on PATH (`playwright-cli --version`).
Locate the `web` CLI once:

```bash
# <skill-dir> is the directory containing this SKILL.md
WEB=$(command -v web || echo "node <skill-dir>/../../cli/dist/web.mjs")
```

then run `$WEB …`; it prints exactly one JSON document on stdout,
so `$WEB … > file.json` is safe.
Fallback when published: `npx -y @adobe/web-cli`. Use an absolute `<skill-dir>`; don't `cd` into it.

**Sessions.** If `WEB_SESSION` or `PLAYWRIGHT_CLI_SESSION` is set, do not pass
`--session`: every `web` command uses that browser and leaves it open. Otherwise
either run one-shot (`$WEB page tree "$URL"` opens and closes its own browser) or
start a browser and reuse the generated name:
`S=$($WEB browser open "$URL" | jq -r .session)` then `--session "$S"`.
Never invent a fixed session name.

## When to Use

Migrating pages to Edge Delivery Services, auditing a site, or extracting a
page's icons, metadata, or other assets.

## Command

```bash
$WEB page collect <what> "$URL" [--output <dir>]
$WEB page collect all "$URL" --output ./collected
$WEB page collect metadata --session "$S"
```

`<what>` is one of:

| Collector | Purpose | Files under `--output` |
|-----------|---------|------------------------|
| `all` | Run all collectors | `<session>-collect/collection.json`, `screenshot.jpg`, plus the collector files |
| `icons` | SVGs, icon fonts, CSS icons → classified SVGs | `<session>-collect/icons/` + `icons.json` |
| `metadata` | Meta tags, OG, structured data | `<session>-collect/metadata.json` |
| `text` | Body text, headings, word count | `<session>-collect/text.json` |
| `forms` | Form structures, fields, actions | `<session>-collect/forms.json` |
| `videos` | Video embeds, sources | `<session>-collect/videos.json` |
| `socials` | Social media links | `<session>-collect/socials.json` |

Default `--output` is `./.web`. Artifacts live in `<session>-collect/` with stable names; the
paths are listed in the `files` field. An unknown `<what>` exits 2 (USAGE).

## Reading the JSON

- One collector: `{ ...collectorFields, files, url, session, durationMs }`
- `all`: `{ url, collectedAt, screenshot?, collectors: {...}, files, session, durationMs }`

`collection.screenshot` is the full path of the screenshot file (not a bare
`screenshot.jpg`). Per-collector fields, extraction sources and limitations:
[references/collectors.md](references/collectors.md).

## Icon Collector Details

The icon collector extracts SVGs from inline `<svg>` elements, `<img>` tags with
`.svg` src or `data:image/svg+xml` URIs, CSS `background-image` SVG data URIs,
and SVG `<use>` sprite references (resolved to standalone SVGs).

| Class | Criteria | Output |
|-------|----------|--------|
| `icon` | ≤ 48px, inside button/link/nav | `/icons/{name}.svg` |
| `logo` | Brand area, "logo" in class/alt/src | `/icons/logo.svg` |
| `image` | > 48px, standalone | Excluded |

Icons are named from DOM context (aria-label, class, ID). When no meaningful
name can be derived they get `icon-{n}` with `nameConfidence: "low"`: review and
rename those. Each SVG is cleaned: XML declarations, comments and metadata
stripped; viewBox ensured and hardcoded width/height removed; fill/stroke
replaced with `currentColor` (icons only, not logos); whitespace collapsed.

`icons.json` manifest:

```json
{ "url": "https://example.com",
  "icons": [ { "name": "search", "class": "icon", "source": "inline-svg",
    "file": "icons/search.svg", "nameConfidence": "high", "context": "header button Search" } ] }
```

## After Running

- Icons: review `icons.json`, rename `nameConfidence: "low"` icons, copy the SVGs
  to the EDS project's `/icons/` directory, reference them in content as
  `:iconname:` (`decorateIcons()` in `aem.js` renders them).
- `all`: review the collection file for a full resource inventory.

## Chaining

- Blocked (exit 3): `browser-probe`, then `--recipe <recipePath>`.
- Overlays in the way: `$WEB page overlays --session "$S" --dismiss` first.

## Escape hatch

`playwright-cli -s <session> …` drives the same browser.
