Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill failed 1 of 6 checks. A failure is not proof of bad intent; it means something in the code needs a human to look at it before you run it.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: failed

    Runs code fetched at install time in 2 places.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

    What it found

    • article-extractor/SKILL.md:100remote script piped into an interpreter
      curl -s "URL" | python3 -c "
    • article-extractor/SKILL.md:212remote script piped into an interpreter
      curl -s "$ARTICLE_URL" | python3 -c "

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned michalparkola/tapestry-skills-for-claude-code at 80e1dc56df.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

About this skill

What it does

The article-extractor skill extracts structured data from articles provided as text. It can identify and return key information such as the article title, author, publication date, and main content body. This allows for efficient parsing and repurposing of online articles into more usable formats.

When to use it

  • Summarization: Quickly get the core details of an article before deciding whether to read the full text.
  • Content Aggregation: Automatically pull key data points from multiple articles for comparison or analysis.
  • Research Assistance: Extract specific information like author and publication date for academic or journalistic work.
  • Data Enrichment: Augment existing datasets with article metadata, such as title and publication date.

Key capabilities

  • Article Title Extraction
  • Author Identification
  • Publication Date Retrieval
  • Main Content Body Extraction

Example prompts

  • "Extract the key information from this article: [paste article text here]"
  • "What is the title, author, and publication date of this article? [paste article text here]"
  • "Can you give me just the main content body from this article? [paste article text here]"

Tips & gotchas

The skill's performance depends heavily on the quality and structure of the input article. Poorly formatted or very long articles may yield less accurate results.
