For developers orchestrating complex AI workflows, managing the LLM context window is a constant bottleneck. Copy-pasting from the browser carries thousands of wasted tokens in the form of SVG paths, minified class names, and tracking scripts. Aura Extract solves this with a hover-to-select DOM inspector, acting on your specific, manual intent for the element you are currently viewing. Hover to target, click to capture, and get clean output written directly to your workspace. Whether you need the exact semantic HTML of a single nav bar or a full documentation hub mapped into structured Markdown via local context mapping, Aura Extract gives AI models pure signal without the noise.
Surgical Extraction
- Hover-to-Select DOM Inspector: A non-mutating overlay tracks your mouse and highlights any element with a glowing bounding box, acting on your specific, manual intent for the single element you are currently viewing. The underlying HTML is never touched, so your capture is always clean.
- Click-to-Capture: One click locks the target, extracts its exact outerHTML, and writes it to your workspace. Navigation is intercepted so clicking a link never takes you away from the page.
- Full-Page Bypass: Skip the inspector entirely and capture the complete document structure in one shot. Useful when you need the full page architecture for an AI spec.
Token Optimization
- HTML Minifier (Token Saver): Strips all <script>, <style>, <iframe>, noscript, inline SVG paths, and data-tracking attributes before writing, dramatically reducing LLM API costs and preserving context window space.
- Readability.js Integration: Isolates the main article content from any page, stripping sidebars, headers, footers, and ads to leave only the core text.
- Turndown Markdown Conversion: Converts the clean Readability output into structured, token-efficient Markdown ready for direct injection into any AI context.
Direct-to-Disk Workflow
- Zero-Dialog File Routing: Uses the Chrome Downloads API to write .html and .md files directly to a pre-configured local workspace directory. No save dialog, no interruption to your flow state.
- Local Context Mapping: Fetches all linked pages one level deep from any hub page, performing semantic parsing to generate a structured local Markdown directory with an _index.md and updated relative hrefs for AI ingestion.
- Clear Context: Wipe previously generated crawl directories directly from the extension menu to free up workspace storage when pivoting to a new feature.
