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

wechat-to-obsidian 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 12d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/save_wechat.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 — 168 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Save WeChat Articles to Obsidian

Download a WeChat official account article and save it as a Markdown note in an Obsidian vault. A single command handles download, extraction, conversion, and cleanup. Optionally auto-syncs to a Git remote.

Quick Start

python scripts/save_wechat.py "https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/xxxxx"

# With Git auto-sync (commit + push after saving)
python scripts/save_wechat.py --git-sync "https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/xxxxx"

The script saves to the vault inbox configured via one of these methods (highest priority first):

  1. --vault-path command-line argument
  2. OBSIDIAN_VAULT_INBOX environment variable
  3. ~/.wechat-to-obsidian.conf configuration file
  4. Interactive prompt on first run

See references/configuration.md for detailed setup instructions.

What the Script Does

  1. Downloads the article HTML via curl (iOS Safari User-Agent for WeChat compatibility)
  2. Extracts title, account name, and publish date from the page metadata
  3. Extracts the article body using JsContentExtractor (HTMLParser depth tracking — see Why not regex?)
  4. Converts the body HTML to Markdown (preserves images, links, headings, code blocks, lists)
  5. Writes a .md file with Obsidian frontmatter to the vault inbox
  6. Optionally commits and pushes to a Git remote (--git-sync)
  7. Removes temporary files

Why not regex?

⚠️ Pitfall: regex-based js_content extraction fails silently on WeChat HTML.

WeChat HTML frequently has <div> attributes that span multiple lines:

<div class="rich_media_content
  js_underline_content"
  id="js_content">

A regex like id="js_content"(.*?)</div> will not match this — the id attribute is on a different line from the tag opening. The result is a silently empty body with no error message.

JsContentExtractor uses Python's HTMLParser to track tag nesting depth and reliably captures the full body regardless of attribute formatting. Regex is kept only as a last-resort fallback.

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.
