|---|---|
--wait-ms N |

--with-links |
Include all links in output |
Examples
# Basic fetch
node {baseDir}/scripts/jina-reader.mjs "https://every.to/article"
# Twitter/X post
node {baseDir}/scripts/jina-reader.mjs "https://twitter.com/user/status/123456"
# Wait for JavaScript rendering
node {baseDir}/scripts/jina-reader.mjs "https://spa-site.com/page" --wait-ms 5000
# With images and links
node {baseDir}/scripts/jina-reader.mjs "https://blog.example.com/post" --with-images --with-links
When to Use
- Search + Read: After Tavily/desearch finds URLs, use this to read the actual content
- Twitter/X: Most tools can't handle Twitter, this one can
- Paywalled sites: Works on many sites that require login
- SPA/JS-heavy pages: Use
--wait-msto let scripts run
Notes
- No API key required
- Rate limits may apply for heavy usage
- For pagination, you may need to fetch multiple pages manually
Usage Guidance
This skill legitimately uses Jina.ai's public r.jina.ai endpoint to fetch rendered Markdown, so its behavior is coherent. Before installing, consider: (1) privacy—any page you fetch (including paywalled or private content) will be processed by a third party (r.jina.ai); avoid sending sensitive pages or credentials; (2) legality/terms—bypassing paywalls may violate site terms of service or copyright; (3) runtime—ensure your Node version supports global fetch (Node 18+ recommended). If you need local-only scraping or to avoid sending content to an external service, prefer a local headless-browser-based extractor instead.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: jina-ai-reader
Version: 1.0.1
The skill bundle is benign. It provides a straightforward implementation for fetching web content using the Jina.ai Reader service. The `SKILL.md` file clearly outlines the skill's purpose and usage, without any evidence of prompt injection attempts against the AI agent. The `scripts/jina-reader.mjs` script correctly parses arguments and makes a standard HTTP request to `https://r.jina.ai/` to retrieve content, without any signs of data exfiltration, malicious execution, persistence mechanisms, or obfuscation. The capability to fetch arbitrary URLs is inherent to the skill's stated purpose and does not indicate malicious intent or a vulnerability within the skill's own code.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description promise (fetch AI-friendly Markdown, handle JS pages/Twitter, no API key) matches the provided code and required binary (node). The script constructs requests to r.jina.ai and prints the returned Markdown — the requested binary and behavior are proportionate to the stated purpose.
Instruction Scope
The SKILL.md only instructs running the included Node script; it does not read local files or request extra env vars. Important privacy note: the script sends the target URL to a third-party service (https://r.jina.ai/), so the page contents (including paywalled or sensitive pages) will be fetched/processed remotely. That is expected for this skill but is a data-exfiltration/privacy consideration users should understand.
Install Mechanism
There is no install spec (instruction-only plus a small included script). No downloads or archive extraction are performed, so nothing arbitrary is written to disk beyond running the provided script with the existing node runtime.
Credentials
No environment variables, credentials, or config paths are requested. The only required runtime is node, which is appropriate for the provided .mjs script.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill does not request permanent presence (always:false), does not modify other skills or system-wide settings, and does not store credentials — no elevated persistence or cross-skill access is requested.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install jina-ai-reader - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/jina-ai-reader - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
