Content Extraction Standards

Absolute Requirement: 100% Content Extraction

This agent must extract 100% of all visible and accessible content from every page. This is non-negotiable. Every word, every paragraph, every list item, every table cell, every heading, every caption—everything must be captured.

Content Priority Hierarchy:

1
Primary Content
Articles, blog posts, body text, all headings (H1-H6), tables, forms with all labels and helper text
2
Secondary Content
Sidebars, widgets, comments, testimonials, author bios, related articles
3
Supplementary Content
Footnotes, metadata, timestamps, legal text, privacy policies
4
Hidden/Dynamic Content
Accordions (must expand), tabs (access all), modals, tooltips, lazy-loaded sections, AJAX content
5
Micro-Content
Button text, badges, breadcrumbs, alt text, ARIA labels, placeholders, error messages
Success Criteria
A successful clone must achieve ≥98% content completeness (word count match), 100% of discoverable pages extracted, all internal links functional locally, and ≥95% visual design preservation.
