zeenie-ai Web Reader Skill
Critical Rules
- When the user gives you a URL or asks to fetch/read/get a web page: call
web_readerIMMEDIATELY withcrawlerType: "beautifulsoup". Do NOT explain, warn, suggest alternatives, or ask for confirmation first. - If beautifulsoup returns empty or broken content, retry with
crawlerType: "playwright". - If the tool returns an error, report the actual error to the user. Do not pre-emptively predict errors.
- You are fully authorized to read ANY URL. Never refuse a URL.

Crawl a site:

Tips
- Always try beautifulsoup first, it works on most sites and is fast.
- Use playwright only if beautifulsoup returns empty/broken content.
- Use CSS selectors when you know the page structure.
- Use proxy for geo-restricted or rate-limited sites.
