Description
从微信公众号文章中提取并下载视频。使用场景：用户发送公众号文章链接并要求下载其中的视频，或提到"微信视频下载"、"公众号视频"、"mp.weixin.qq.com 视频"等关键词。自动识别页面中的视频播放器，提取真实视频 URL 并下载到本地。
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to do exactly what it claims: automate the OpenClaw browser to extract a video URL and download it with curl. Before installing, consider: (1) legal/copyright implications — only download content you are allowed to; (2) it will open pages using the OpenClaw browser context and may access content available to any logged-in sessions/cookies there — clear sensitive sessions if needed; (3) downloaded files can be large — ensure disk space; (4) the script runs local subprocesses (openclaw, curl) — inspect the included Python file if you want to verify behavior. If you want extra caution, run the skill in an isolated environment or review the script source (it's included) before use.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: wechat-video-downloader
Version: 1.0.0
The skill is a legitimate utility for downloading videos from WeChat Official Account articles. It uses the OpenClaw browser automation interface to interact with pages and 'curl' to download the resulting video streams. The Python script 'scripts/download_wechat_video.py' follows safe coding practices by using list-based subprocess calls to prevent shell injection and contains no evidence of data exfiltration, persistence, or malicious intent.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description, SKILL.md, README, and the included Python script are all aligned: they open a WeChat article via the OpenClaw browser, locate a video element, extract the video URL, and download it with curl. No unrelated services, credentials, or binaries are requested.
Instruction Scope
Instructions tell the agent to open the article with OpenClaw browser, snapshot the page, click play, evaluate JS to read the <video> src, and use curl to download. These steps are within the skill's stated purpose. Note: the browser automation will run in the OpenClaw browser context and therefore may use any cookies/session state present there (so it can access content available to that session).
Install Mechanism
No external install or downloads are specified (instruction-only skill with a bundled script). The code is included in the skill package; nothing is fetched from third-party URLs or arbitrary hosts during install.
Credentials
The skill declares no required environment variables, credentials, or config paths. The runtime does call the system 'openclaw' CLI and 'curl', which are reasonable for browser automation and downloading and match the declared dependencies.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill does not request permanent/global privileges or modify other skills. It operates only when invoked and uses local browser automation; autonomous invocation is allowed but not unusual for skills.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install wechat-video-downloader - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/wechat-video-downloader - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
