news-extractor

news-extractor is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from NanmiCoder/NewsCrawler. It costs 84 tokens per session (1,961 once invoked), scanned A, original, GPL-3.0.

A content-extraction tool for 12 news and publishing platforms, including BBC News, CNN, Twitter/X, and Chinese news sites. It can return extracted content as JSON or Markdown.

In plain words

Use it to extract news articles, public posts, and other supported content for further reading or structured processing.
Why use it?
It gives a coding agent a defined way to collect article or post content from supported sources instead of handling each site separately.

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

news-extractor scanned grade A with 0 findings 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 4d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 21 executable files (scripts/crawlers/__init__.py, scripts/crawlers/base.py, scripts/crawlers/bbc.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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

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.
