blocked-page-recovery

blocked-page-recovery is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from aivrar/portable-hermes-agent. It costs 18 tokens per session (1,313 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of blocked-page-recovery, MIT.

A recovery workflow for pages that return errors, bot checks, paywalls, or web application firewalls (WAFs). It tries archived copies, alternate page formats, and other access routes in a fixed order.

In plain words
What is it for?
Recovering blocked articles and web pages for reading or citation, including finding archived snapshots, RSS or JSON versions, and API endpoints.
Why use it?
It gives you other ways to retrieve a page when the original URL cannot be fetched, while checking that the result is genuine and recording where it came from.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

blocked-page-recovery scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/recover_page.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 138 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Blocked-Page Recovery

When a page won't fetch — 403/429, Cloudflare "Just a moment...", a paywall, or a bot-detection interstitial — don't give up and don't loop on the same URL. Third-party services often hold a copy of the page. Work down this ladder, cheapest first.

The ladder

1. Wayback Machine  — archive.org "available" API  (snapshot + timestamp)
2. archive.today    — domain rotation: archive.ph → .md → .li → .is
3. Jina Reader      — only if JINA_API_KEY is set  (live server-side render)
4. API-first pivot  — look for /api/, /graphql, .json, or RSS on the same host
5. Real browser     — browser tool as the last, most expensive resort

Run it in one shot with the bundled script:

python3 scripts/recover_page.py "https://example.com/blocked-article" --json

The script tries each route in order, validates every body (see "Fake successes" below), and prints the first genuine hit with its provenance.

Provenance discipline (non-negotiable)

Every recovered copy carries a provenance you MUST preserve when citing:

Route Provenance How to cite
Wayback / archive.today snapshot Cite WITH the snapshot date: "as archived 2026-08-06". Never present a snapshot as the live page — it may be stale.
Jina Reader live Server-side re-render of the live page; cite normally.
Live fetch / browser live Cite normally.

If the user needs current data (prices, availability, breaking news), a snapshot is context, not an answer — say so explicitly and note its age.

Manual routes

1. Wayback Machine (best provenance, try first)

# Discovery: returns closest snapshot URL + timestamp as JSON
curl -sL "https://archive.org/wayback/available?url={URL}"
# Then fetch archived_snapshots.closest.url

For enumerating many snapshots (or recovering deleted pages), the CDX index:

curl -sL "https://web.archive.org/cdx/search/cdx?url={URL}&output=json&limit=10"

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
