Zhihu Favorites

Use the scripts in scripts/ to read your Zhihu collections and extract readable text for summarization.

Cookie auth (recommended)

• CookieCloud: set COOKIECLOUD_UUID + COOKIECLOUD_PASSWORD (also accepts COOKIECLOUDUUID / COOKIECLOUDPASSWORD)
  • Optional: COOKIECLOUD_SERVER_URL (default: http://127.0.0.1:8088)
• Or set ZHIHU_COOKIES / ZHIHU_COOKIE (raw Cookie: header string)
• Or pass --cookie 'z_c0=...; ...' to a script

How To Answer Common Requests

• "帮我看看知乎的收藏夹"
  • Run docker compose run --rm runner python skills/zhihu-favorites/scripts/zhihu_collections.py --json --limit 50 and show id/title/item_count so the user can pick a collection.
• "我最近收藏了哪些回答/文章？"
  • Pick a collection and run docker compose run --rm runner python skills/zhihu-favorites/scripts/zhihu_collection_items.py --collection-id <id> --limit 20 (items come in API order).
• "这篇回答/文章讲了什么？"
  • Run docker compose run --rm runner python skills/zhihu-favorites/scripts/zhihu_item_content.py --url ... and summarize from the extracted plain text.

Troubleshooting

• "No cookies found": set CookieCloud env vars or ZHIHU_COOKIES, or pass --cookie.
• 403 / captcha / empty payloads: cookies may be expired; re-sync CookieCloud. If Zhihu blocks direct API, use Playwright as fallback (see references/research.md).
