ra-公众号提取

Goal

Extract the full text of a WeChat public account article into clean Markdown, ready for downstream skills.

This skill is intentionally narrow:

• fetch the article HTML with a spoofed WeChat UA
• parse title, author, publish time, and body text
• write a Markdown file to 01-内容生产/视频工作台/.internal/公众号/
• print the complete text in the conversation

Do not summarize, rewrite, translate, title, or start production. Hand the extracted text to the calling skill or user.

Locate The Skill

WX_HOME="$(
  for d in "$(pwd)/.codex/skills/ra-公众号提取" \
           "$(pwd)/.agents/skills/ra-公众号提取" \
           "$(pwd)/.claude/skills/ra-公众号提取" \
           "$HOME/.codex/skills/ra-公众号提取" \
           "$HOME/.agents/skills/ra-公众号提取" \
           "$HOME/.claude/skills/ra-公众号提取"; do
    [ -f "$d/SKILL.md" ] && echo "$d" && break
  done
)"
export WX_HOME

Use "$WX_HOME/scripts/fetch_wechat.py" for every operation.

How It Works

WeChat blocks external access to public account articles through several layers:

1. User-Agent detection — checks for MicroMessenger keyword; rejects normal browser UAs
2. Referer check — expects requests from mp.weixin.qq.com
3. JS lazy-loading — images use data-src instead of src
4. Rate limiting — frequent requests trigger CAPTCHA

This skill bypasses layer 1 and 2 by sending a request with a genuine WeChat iOS WebView User-Agent and the correct Referer header. This is sufficient to receive the full article HTML for text extraction. No login, cookie, or API key is needed.

Limitations:

• Images are extracted as URLs only (from data-src), not downloaded
• Some articles with heavy JS rendering may return partial content
• Rapid successive calls from the same IP may trigger CAPTCHA (wait and retry)
• Does not work on articles that require WeChat login or payment

Workflow

1. Health check (optional):

   python3 "$WX_HOME/scripts/fetch_wechat.py" --doctor
   

2. Extract article:

   python3 "$WX_HOME/scripts/fetch_wechat.py" "<mp.weixin.qq.com URL>" \
     --output-dir "01-内容生产/视频工作台/.internal/公众号"
   

3. The script outputs a JSON result with title, author, publish_time, char_count, and output_path. Read the output file and present the full text to the user or pass it to the next skill.

4. If the script exits with code 1 (fetch/CAPTCHA failure), report the error and suggest:

   • Wait a few minutes and retry
   • Ask the user to paste the article text directly

5. If the script exits with code 2 (parse failure), save the raw HTML with --raw for debugging.

Storage Rules

• Extracted articles land in 01-内容生产/视频工作台/.internal/公众号/ by default (source privacy zone).
• Source URLs and source titles must not appear in any handoff file, finished script, or public document.
• When called by ra-洗稿 or ra-选题, the source link is recorded only in the topic card's 来源: field.

Integration With Other Skills

This skill is a source reader, not a content processor. Typical call chains:

User says	Call chain
这篇公众号洗稿 / 基于这篇公众号制作视频	ra-公众号提取 → ra-洗稿
这篇文章存个选题	ra-公众号提取 → ra-选题
读一下这篇公众号	ra-公众号提取 (standalone)
这篇公众号做成图文	ra-公众号提取 → ra-洗稿 (图文形态)

When another skill needs to read a mp.weixin.qq.com URL, call this skill first to obtain the text, then pass the extracted Markdown to the downstream skill.

Script Reference

fetch_wechat.py <url> [options]

Arguments:
  url                    mp.weixin.qq.com article URL

Options:
  --output-dir <dir>     Output directory (default: current directory)
  --raw                  Also save the raw HTML alongside the Markdown
  --doctor               Check dependencies and exit

Exit codes: 0 = success, 1 = fetch failed, 2 = parse failed.

No external dependencies — uses Python stdlib only (urllib, re, html, json).
