What it does

Wechat Article Extractor is an agent skill from freestylefly/wechat-article-extractor-skill. Extract metadata and content from WeChat Official Account articles.

Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 8 other files, including scripts (for example `README.md`, `convert.js` and `package-lock.json`).

It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering Messaging and chat bots. It works with WeChat. The repository describes itself as: 微信公众号文章一键提取 skill,可以从微信文章 URL 中提取标题、作者、内容、封面图等元数据.

When your agent uses it

  • User needs to parse WeChat article URLs (mp.weixin.qq.com)
  • Extract article info (title
  • Convert WeChat articles to structured data

Example prompts

  • “/wechat-article-extractor”

Requirements

  • Node.js

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d8f74b8. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 2 files in scripts/ (JavaScript), which the agent can run.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • mp.weixin.qq.com

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Wechat Article Extractor loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 94 tokens; SKILL.md has 240 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~94
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
