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

weixin-article-to-obsidian 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 12d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/download_weixin_article.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.

Weixin Article to Obsidian

Overview

Capture a Weixin Official Account article into an Obsidian vault with local image assets. Prefer opencli weixin download for the initial article fetch, then verify and supplement the result by parsing the page source for picture-page images and article metadata.

When to Use

Use this skill when the user:

  • Provides an mp.weixin.qq.com article URL
  • Wants the article body saved as a Markdown note in an Obsidian vault
  • Wants article images downloaded locally instead of referenced from remote CDN URLs
  • Wants Obsidian image links such as ![[assets/title/image.png]]
  • Wants a repeatable workflow for Weixin article clipping

Do not use

Do not use this skill when:

  • The URL is not a Weixin Official Account article
  • The user only wants a visual theme extracted from the article
  • The user wants to publish Markdown back to Weixin
  • The target is not a local Markdown or Obsidian knowledge base

Instructions

  1. Read the target vault guidance first, especially directory rules, asset rules, and index maintenance rules.
  2. Choose the semantic note directory from the article topic. Do not default to a generic clipping folder when the vault has a more specific category.
  3. Run opencli weixin download if available:
opencli weixin download --url "https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/example" --output /tmp/weixin-article --download-images true -f yaml
  1. If opencli misses images, or if the article is a picture-page article, run the bundled script:
python3 scripts/download_weixin_article.py "https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/example" \
  --vault-root /path/to/obsidian-vault \
  --target-dir "FrontEnd/security"
  1. Review the generated Markdown and remove platform chrome, duplicated metadata, recommendation blocks, or reward prompts if any remain.
  2. Verify every image reference is an Obsidian vault link pointing under assets/<note-title>/.
  3. If the vault requires topical indexes, update the local index page with a wiki link to the new note.

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.
