Usage Guidance
This skill appears to do what it says: it uses browser automation to fetch and parse Qidian ranking pages and will degrade if anti-bot protections are encountered. Before installing, confirm you are comfortable granting the agent access to run browser automation on your platform (the skill declares google-chrome/chromium and node/npx). Because it performs live web scraping, expect possible site rate-limiting or anti-bot blocks; the skill documents conservative failure handling. It requests no secrets. If you are cautious about autonomous runs, you can keep autonomous invocation disabled for this skill or review runtime logs when it runs. Also consider legal/terms-of-service implications of scraping content from the target site.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: qidian-reader
Version: 1.1.0
The skill is a legitimate book recommendation tool for the Qidian (起点中文网) platform. It uses OpenClaw's browser automation capabilities to scrape public ranking data from official URLs (qidian.com) and provides structured recommendations based on user preferences. The instructions in SKILL.md are well-defined, include error handling for anti-bot measures, and do not contain any evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, or harmful prompt injection.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The skill's name/description (Qidian ranking and recommendations) align with the declared requirements (browser automation). Requiring a browser (google-chrome/chromium) is appropriate. The inclusion of node and npx is plausible if the runtime executes helper scripts, but for an instruction-only skill with no shipped code this may be broader than strictly necessary—it's a minor mismatch worth noting but not evidence of malice.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md confines actions to using openclaw browser automation to load Qidian pages, wait for DOM rendering, extract structured fields, and degrade gracefully when anti-bot measures appear. It does not instruct reading unrelated host files, exporting secrets, or sending data to external endpoints.
Install Mechanism
There is no install spec and no code files — the skill is instruction-only, so nothing is downloaded or written to disk by the skill bundle itself.
Credentials
The skill requests no environment variables, no credentials, and no config paths. Its declared binary requirements are proportionate to browser-based scraping; no sensitive secrets are requested.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill is user-invocable (normal). It does not request elevated or persistent system-wide privileges and contains no instructions to modify other skills or global agent config.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install qidian-reader - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/qidian-reader - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
Version History
v1.1.0
- Major change: Data fetching now requires browser automation (openclaw) for real-time Qidian rankings instead of curl, due to anti-bot protection and dynamic rendering.
- Updated requirements to include google-chrome, chromium, node, and npx for browser automation.
- Added detailed steps for browser-based data extraction, including DOM parsing and handling anti-bot verification.
- Introduced explicit downgrade handling when real-time rankings cannot be reliably fetched.
- Clarified that only openclaw browser automation should be used; curl is no longer the main method.
- Output and error messages now clearly distinguish between real-time and fallback (classic/hot) recommendations.
