Zhijian Skills Bundles 16 Open-Source Agent Workflows Into One Catalog
A Chinese developer's open-source Agent Skills portfolio bundles sixteen focused tools, including a layered Web Clipper that chains five extractors to reliably scrape anything.
- Zhijian Skills bundles 16 MIT-licensed Agent Skills installable via one npx command.
- Web Clipper chains 5 extractors (static, Defuddle, Jina, Metaso, CDP) with automatic fallback.
- Output is Obsidian-ready Markdown with YAML frontmatter tagging which extractor succeeded.
- Browser handles rendering and link discovery; a deterministic Python script owns file naming and metadata.
- Portfolio includes Codex ops tools, WeChat publishing, HTML reports, and enterprise knowledge builders.
- Limitations: no paywall bypass, Metaso costs money, and site changes can still break extraction.
Zhijian Skills packages 16 agent workflows in one catalog
Zhijian Skills is an open-source catalog of 16 installable Agent Skills for Codex operations, workflow orchestration, model routing, research, knowledge management, information design, and publishing. Each Skill bundles its instructions with the scripts, references, themes, and assets required to run it.
The repository’s most technically distinctive module is web-clipper, which converts public articles and archive indexes into structured Markdown. Its layered extraction pipeline gives developers a reusable pattern for handling sites that lazy-load content, change markup, or block basic HTTP scrapers.
Install the catalog or one Skill
The skills CLI can list the catalog, install one module, or copy a Skill into a specific agent environment. These commands show the three common paths:
npx skills add zjp1997720/zhijian-skills --list
npx skills add zjp1997720/zhijian-skills --skill web-clipper
npx skills add zjp1997720/zhijian-skills \
--skill codex-model-routing-team --agent codex --global --copy --yesEach Skill maintains its own version, changelog, and tests inside the shared publishing repository. The code is available under the MIT license, although optional external extraction services may require credentials or incur usage charges.
