Apify Ultimate Scraper

What it does

When your agent uses it

• Tasks that involve Web scraping

Example prompts

• “/apify-ultimate-scraper”

Requirements

• Node.js
• A credential in APIFY_TOKEN

Workflow steps

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

1. 1Understand User Goal and Select Actor
2. 2Fetch Actor Schema
3. 3Ask User Preferences
4. 4Run the Script
5. 5Summarize Results and Offer Follow-ups

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 680176d. 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 script files (JavaScript), which the agent can run.

  Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

  • node
  • jq
  • npm

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

• Network

  Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

  • apify.com

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

• Credentials

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

  • APIFY_TOKEN

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

Context cost

Apify Ultimate Scraper loads about 2.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 39 tokens; SKILL.md has 847 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~39

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~2.7k

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.

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.
