name: wechat-reader description: Read WeChat public account (微信公众号) articles. Activate when the user shares a mp.weixin.qq.com link, asks to read/summarize a WeChat article, or mentions 公众号/微信文章. These pages are JS-rendered and blocked by web_fetch — this skill uses browser automation to extract full article text.

Why This Skill Exists

WeChat public account articles (mp.weixin.qq.com/s/...) are fully JS-rendered and have anti-scraping measures. web_fetch only returns the title. Browser automation is required to get the full content.

How to Read an Article

1. Detect mp.weixin.qq.com URLs in user messages
2. Open with browser tool:

browser(action="open", url="<article_url>", profile="openclaw")

1. Wait for render, then snapshot:

browser(action="snapshot", targetId=<id>, maxChars=15000)

1. Close the tab:

browser(action="close", targetId=<id>)

1. Present the content to the user (summarize or translate as requested)

Tips

• Articles may contain images — snapshot captures alt text and captions
• Very long articles: increase maxChars to 30000 or use multiple snapshots with scrolling
• If the page shows "此内容因违规无法查看" (content removed), inform the user
• Some articles require WeChat login — if snapshot shows a login wall, inform the user
• For multiple articles, process sequentially to avoid resource waste
