The skill
Reads a web page or PDF and gives a short summary.
Only when you ask.
Time saved
Your reading list turns into short summaries every week. You save time.
↻ Runs by itselfevery Monday morning
How the habit works.
You don't have to.
When does it start? How does it check its work? What does it remember?
One run, step by step.
Then it stops.
At most 10 links per run, one retry per failed link.
- 01
Load the list
The agent reads the run log and picks the links that are new or failed last time.
- 02
Route each link
It picks the method from the routing table, such as PDF extraction or the built-in fetcher.
- 03
Fetch locally
It runs scripts/fetch.sh without --use-proxy, so the URL goes to no third-party reader.
- 04
Check the tier
It reads the [fetch] stderr line and stops on a login or paywall page.
- 05
Summarize
It writes a few bullets grounded in the page, with the source URL and useful details.
- 06
Save and log
It saves the Markdown with frontmatter, adds -1 on a name clash and records the result.
What it may do.
Nothing more.
It writes only in its own folder and asks you before anything goes out.
- Writes only inloops/read-loop/**
- Talks tono outside service
- Sendsnothing
- Your OKNothing goes out, so it needs no OK.
Is it for you?
Use it when it fits.
Read both lists. If the left one sounds like you, the Read skill helps.
Use it when
- ✓ you want a summary of a web page
- ✓ you need a PDF as clean Markdown
- ✓ you want to save a page with frontmatter
Skip it when
- – the text is already a local file in your repo
- – the URL is internal or needs a login
Read skill, answered.
Does the loop send my links to other services?
No. It uses the local fetch by default. The proxy tier and DeepSeek need your explicit opt-in.
What if a page is behind a paywall?
The run marks the link as failed and warns you. It does not save the login page.
Can it read PDFs?
Yes. PDF URLs and local PDF paths go through PDF extraction.
How do I install the Read skill?
Copy the prompt at the top into your agent. It installs the skill from tw93/Waza and sets up the habit. Or run npx skills add tw93/Waza --skill read.
Is the Read skill free?
Yes. It is published under MIT. Habit is free too.
Read. Now as a habit.
