Wechat Article Md Local

WeChat article → local Markdown

Use this skill for single article WeChat Official Account links.

Default path: use the bundled script first

For normal use, do not manually shuttle the full article HTML through the browser tool. 微信公众号正文经常很长，#js_content.innerHTML 可能超过工具返回长度，导致提取结果被截断。

优先直接运行这个脚本：

SKILL_DIR="$(cd "$(dirname "$0")" && pwd)"
bash "${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/download_wechat_article.sh" '<MP_URL>' '<OUTPUT_DIR>'

这个脚本会自动：

• 用 Playwright 打开文章页
• 提取元数据和完整 #js_content HTML
• 调用 save_wechat_article.py
• 下载图片到本地
• 生成 Markdown 和 HTML fallback

What to do

1. Validate the URL is a single article link on mp.weixin.qq.com.
2. Run the bundled shell script above.
3. Parse the JSON result printed by the script.
4. Return the saved file paths.

Expected output from the script

脚本成功时会输出 JSON，包含至少这些字段：

• title
• article_dir
• markdown_path
• html_path
• images_dir
• image_count
• markdown_ok

Fallback path

Only if the bundled script fails, fall back to the manual two-step flow:

1. Use the browser tool to open the article page.
2. Extract article metadata and the full #js_content HTML from the rendered page.
3. Save the extracted payload to a temporary JSON file.
4. Run scripts/save_wechat_article.py manually.

Manual browser extraction

Use browser evaluate on the opened article page and extract at least:

() => {
  const q = s => document.querySelector(s);
  const text = s => q(s)?.textContent?.trim() || '';
  const html = q('#js_content')?.innerHTML || '';
  return {
    url: location.href,
    title: text('#activity-name') || text('#js_name') || document.title,
    account: text('#js_name'),
    author: text('#js_author_name') || text('#js_author'),
    publish_time: text('#publish_time'),
    description: document.querySelector('meta[name="description"]')?.content || '',
    cover: document.querySelector('meta[property="og:image"]')?.content || '',
    html
  };
}

If html is empty, stop and report the page could not be extracted.

Manual converter script

Run:

SKILL_DIR="$(cd "$(dirname "$0")" && pwd)"
source "${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/../.venv-wechat-skill/bin/activate" 2>/dev/null || true
python "${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/save_wechat_article.py" \
  --input /tmp/wechat_article_input.json \
  --output-dir '<OUTPUT_DIR>'

Success response

Report:

• article title
• markdown path
• images directory
• fallback HTML path
• image count if available

Notes

• This skill is intentionally for single article links only.
• Images should always be localized.
• Prefer the bundled shell script over manual browser extraction.
• If Markdown conversion has issues, still keep the cleaned HTML fallback.
• Gotcha: do not rely on a single browser-tool response to carry very large HTML blobs when a local script can write them directly to disk.
