Browse 4chan boards and extract thread discussions into structured text files. Use when you need to fetch catalog information or specific thread content (including post text and file metadata) from 4chan boards like /a/, /vg/, /v/, etc.

This skill appears to do exactly what it says: fetch 4chan pages and save extracted text. Before installing or running it, consider: (1) Source provenance — the package author is unknown; review the script (already included) and run it in a sandbox or container if you don't trust it. (2) Content risks — 4chan content can be NSFW, abusive, or illegal; avoid indexing or storing content that violates policy or law. (3) File write safety — when supplying output_root, don't point it at sensitive system directories; run as a non-privileged user. (4) Network policy — the script makes outbound HTTP requests to boards.4chan.org; ensure this is allowed on your network. The code does not access other credentials or exfiltrate files beyond what it fetches from 4chan.

Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: 4chan-reader Version: 1.0.0 The skill bundle provides a Python script to fetch 4chan content and optionally save it to a local file. While its network access to 4chan is aligned with its stated purpose, the script allows writing extracted content to an arbitrary user-specified directory (`output_root_dir`) via `os.makedirs` and `open()` in `scripts/chan_extractor.py`. This capability, despite being documented in `SKILL.md` and `scripts/chan_extractor.py`, represents a significant file system access risk, as it could be leveraged by a malicious prompt (external to this skill) to write to sensitive locations, classifying it as suspicious rather than benign.
