What it does

Weread Skills is an agent skill from infometa/workbuddyskills. 微信读书助手 — 搜索书籍、管理书架、查看笔记划线、浏览书评、阅读统计、发现推荐好书

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 9 other files, including reference files (for example `references/book.md`, `references/discover.md` and `references/notes.md`).

The repository describes itself as: WorkBuddy skills / connectors / experts archive for offline study.

Example prompts

  • “/weread-skills”

Requirements

  • A credential in WEREAD_API_KEY

Workflow steps

10 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. 版本上报:每次请求 body 必须包含 "skill_version": "1.0.3"(取本文件顶部 version 字段的值),用于服务端检查版本更新。如果回包中出现 upgrade_info 字段,必须立即暂停当前操作,按照 upgrade_info.message…
  2. 参数平铺:业务参数必须和 api_name、skill_version 放在同一层;不要包在 params、data、body 等对象里。只有接口文档明确声明的数组/对象字段(如 /book/readreviews 的 reviews)才允许作为业务字段传入。
  3. 能力文档预检:调用任何接口前,必须先根据「支持的能力」表阅读对应说明文件(如阅读统计先读 readdata.md,书架先读 shelf.md),确认接口参数、字段含义、单位、计数口径和工作流;禁止仅凭字段名或经验猜测含义。
  4. 字段解释优先级:解释接口回包时,以对应说明文件中的字段说明为准;如果回包字段名和直觉含义冲突,必须服从说明文件,不得直接翻译字段名。
  5. bookId 解析:用户输入书名时,先调 /store/search 获取 bookId,再执行后续操作
  6. 书架数量:使用 /shelf/sync 回答“书架有多少本书/多少条目”时,必须按 books.length + albums.length + (mp 非空 ? 1 : 0) 计算;albums[] 是专辑/有声书,也属于书架里的书,详细规则见 shelf.md
  7. 结果展示:列表用编号展示方便选择;搜索结果重点展示书名、作者、评分;展示接口回包信息时,字段禁止直接翻译,应该参考文件中的说明内容提供
  8. 上下文衔接:对话中记住已查询的 bookId,后续操作无需用户重复提供
  9. 深度链接:在展示划线、想法、章节等内容时,拼接对应的跳转链接方便用户直接在 App 中打开,具体格式见下方「深度链接(URL Schema)」章节
  10. 数据展示规范

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 91b77ea. 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:

    • curl

    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:

    • i.weread.qq.com

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

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • WEREAD_API_KEY

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

Context cost

Weread Skills loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~13k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 14 tokens; SKILL.md has 262 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~14
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~13k

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

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 262 words (~1,263 tokens).
