What it does

Zhihu Search is an agent skill from itwanger/toBeBetterJavaer. Search Zhihu for content using the searchv3 API. Use when user mentions Zhihu, 知乎, searching Zhihu, searching 知乎, Zhihu search, 知乎搜索, searching for answers/articles on Zhihu, or says 搜一下知乎, 在知乎上搜索, 找知乎上的, 知乎上搜搜. Also applies to exploring Zhihu's internal API endpoints, extracting search results in bulk, and monitoring Zhihu for new content on specific topics.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/enum-params.py` and `scripts/search.py`).

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering REST APIs. It works with Python. The repository describes itself as: 一份通俗易懂、风趣幽默的Java学习指南,内容涵盖Java基础、Java并发编程、Java虚拟机、Java企业级开发、Java面试等核心知识点。学Java,就认准二哥的Java进阶之路😄.

When your agent uses it

  • User mentions Zhihu
  • Searching Zhihu
  • Searching for answers/articles on Zhihu

Example prompts

  • “/zhihu-search”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

2 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Tool Readiness
  2. Login Verification

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 414a288. 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/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python

    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:

    • zhihu.com
    • pic2.zhimg.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

Zhihu Search loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 94 tokens; SKILL.md has 668 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
~1.5k

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 668 words (~1,527 tokens).

“All process output to user (progress updates, process notifications) follows the user's language.”
