At a glance

Converts web pages, articles and documentation links into clean Markdown through the read_url tool, which sends the full URL to the third-party Jina Reader service.

Reading an API documentation page without the surrounding page clutter
SKILL.md covers Purpose, Usage, Notes and Privacy & freshness, plus 1 more section
Calls bash; reaches tushare.pro and github.com
Pulling the text of a blog post or technical article into the conversation

What it does

The agent calls `read_url` with a link and gets the page back as Markdown, with ads, navigation and styling stripped, together with a title and status in a JSON reply. Typical uses are API documentation pages, technical articles and blogs, research reports and announcements, and GitHub README or wiki pages. Chinese content is handled normally.

The limits are spelled out. Anything over 8000 characters is truncated with the total length noted, and dynamically rendered single-page apps may return only skeleton HTML. The tool forwards the full URL, query string included, to Jina Reader at `r.jina.ai`, so URLs with credentials, tokens or internal addresses must not be passed. Results can be cached snapshots flagged with `cached: true`, and `no_cache=true` forces a fresh fetch. A manual bash and requests fallback exists for blocked sites but bypasses the tool's URL safety guard.

When your agent uses it

Reading an API documentation page without the surrounding page clutter
Pulling the text of a blog post or technical article into the conversation
Retrieving a research report or announcement from a public URL
Reading a GitHub project's README or wiki page

Example prompts

“Read https://tushare.pro/document/2?doc_id=27 and summarize the interface it describes.”
“Fetch the README at https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/PaddleOCR and list what the project does.”
“Re-read that page with a fresh fetch, since the last result was cached.”

Requirements

The `read_url` tool
Network access to the Jina Reader service at `r.jina.ai`

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 7f6908b. 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
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- bash
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:
- tushare.pro
- github.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

Web Page Reader loads about 627 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 51 tokens; SKILL.md has 250 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~51
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~627

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.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

name: web-reader
description: Read web pages, articles, and document links by converting URLs into Markdown text. Use the `read_url` tool directly, without bash. Sends the full URL to the third-party Jina Reader (r.jina.ai).
category: tool

Web Reading

Purpose

Converts any URL into clean Markdown text, removing ads, navigation, styling, and other distractions. Suitable for:

Reading API documentation (tushare, OKX, yfinance, and similar)
Reading technical articles and blogs
Retrieving research reports and announcements
Reading GitHub README / Wiki pages

Usage

Call the read_url tool directly (do not use bash + requests, call the tool directly):

read_url(url="https://tushare.pro/document/2?doc_id=27")

Returns JSON:

json

{
  "status": "ok",
  "title": "Page title",
  "url": "Original URL",
  "content": "Page content in Markdown format",
  "length": 12345
}

Notes

Content longer than 8000 characters will be truncated, with the total length noted at the end
Dynamically rendered SPA pages may return only skeleton HTML
Chinese content is supported normally

Privacy & freshness

Third-party dependency: read_url forwards the full target URL (including any query string) to the external Jina Reader service (r.jina.ai). Do not pass URLs containing credentials, tokens, or private/internal addresses — they would leave this host.
Caching/staleness: results may be a cached snapshot, not live data. When stale, the JSON includes "cached": true; pass no_cache=true to force a fresh fetch (slower). Use no_cache=true only when a prior result explicitly reported "cached": true or the task genuinely requires newer data. Do not use it merely because context compaction removed a prior payload or because that payload was restored by replay; in that case consume the restored evidence and continue the analysis.
Bash fallback caveat: if a site blocks the reader (e.g. HTTP 451) a manual bash + requests fetch is possible, but it bypasses this tool's URL safety guard and the Jina layer — use sparingly and never for internal/authenticated URLs.

Can I use Web Page Reader in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add HKUDS/Vibe-Trading --skill web-reader -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/web-reader, .gemini/skills/web-reader, .github/skills/web-reader and .opencode/skills/web-reader in your project.

What does Web Page Reader need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Web Page Reader needs the command-line tools its instructions call (bash). Our summary lists: The `read_url` tool; Network access to the Jina Reader service at `r.jina.ai`.

Does Web Page Reader access the network?

SKILL.md names 2 domains. In commands or code: tushare.pro and github.com; the agent is likely to contact these when it follows the instructions. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Web Page Reader safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does Web Page Reader use?
