content-parser by marswaveai/skills

When to Use

User provides a URL and wants to extract/read its content
Another skill needs to parse source material from a URL before generation
User says "parse this URL", "extract content from this link"
User says "解析链接", "提取内容"

When NOT to Use

User already has text content and doesn't need URL parsing
User wants to generate audio/video content (not content extraction)
User wants to read a local file (use standard file reading tools)

Purpose

Extract and normalize content from URLs across supported platforms. Returns structured data including content body, metadata, and references. Useful as a preprocessing step for content generation skills or standalone content extraction.

Hard Constraints

No shell scripts. Construct curl commands from the API reference files listed in Resources
Always read shared/authentication.md for API key and headers
Follow shared/common-patterns.md for polling, errors, and interaction patterns
URL must be a valid HTTP(S) URL
Always read config following shared/config-pattern.md before any interaction
Never save files to ~/Downloads/ or .listenhub/ — save to the current working directory

Step -1: API Key Check

Follow shared/config-pattern.md § API Key Check. If the key is missing, stop immediately.

Step 0: Config Setup

Follow shared/config-pattern.md Step 0.

If file doesn't exist — ask location, then create immediately:

mkdir -p ".listenhub/content-parser"
echo '{"autoDownload":true}' > ".listenhub/content-parser/config.json"
CONFIG_PATH=".listenhub/content-parser/config.json"
# (or $HOME/.listenhub/content-parser/config.json for global)

Then run Setup Flow below.

If file exists — read config, display summary, and confirm:

当前配置 (content-parser)：
  自动下载：{是 / 否}

Ask: "使用已保存的配置？" → 确认，直接继续 / 重新配置

Setup Flow (first run or reconfigure)

autoDownload: "自动保存提取的内容到当前目录？"
- "是（推荐）" → autoDownload: true
- "否" → autoDownload: false

Save immediately:

NEW_CONFIG=$(echo "$CONFIG" | jq --argjson dl {true/false} '. + {"autoDownload": $dl}')
echo "$NEW_CONFIG" > "$CONFIG_PATH"
CONFIG=$(cat "$CONFIG_PATH")

Interaction Flow

Step 1: URL Input

Free text input. Ask the user:

What URL would you like to extract content from?

Step 2: Options (optional)

Ask if the user wants to configure extraction options:

Question: "Do you want to configure extraction options?"
Options:
  - "No, use defaults" — Extract with default settings
  - "Yes, configure options" — Set summarize, maxLength, or Twitter tweet count

If "Yes", ask follow-up questions:

Summarize: "Generate a summary of the content?" (Yes/No)
Max Length: "Set maximum content length?" (Free text, e.g., "5000")
Twitter count (only if URL is Twitter/X profile): "How many tweets to fetch?" (1-100, default 20)

Step 3: Confirm & Extract

Summarize:

Ready to extract content:

  URL: {url}
  Options: {summarize: true, maxLength: 5000, twitter.count: 50} / default

  Proceed?

Wait for explicit confirmation before calling the API.

Workflow

Validate URL: Must be HTTP(S). Normalize if needed (see references/supported-platforms.md)

Build request body:

{
  "source": {
    "type": "url",
    "uri": "{url}"
  },
  "options": {
    "summarize": true/false,
    "maxLength": 5000,
    "twitter": {
      "count": 50
    }
  }
}

Omit options if user chose defaults.

Submit (foreground): POST /v1/content/extract → extract taskId
Tell the user extraction is in progress

Poll (background): Run the following exact bash command with run_in_background: true and timeout: 300000. Note: status field is .data.status (not processStatus), interval is 5s, values are processing/completed/failed:

TASK_ID="<id-from-step-3>"
for i in $(seq 1 60); do
  RESULT=$(curl -sS "https://api.marswave.ai/openapi/v1/content/extract/$TASK_ID" \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer $LISTENHUB_API_KEY" 2>/dev/null)
  STATUS=$(echo "$RESULT" | tr -d '\000-\037\177' | jq -r '.data.status // "processing"')
  case "$STATUS" in
    completed) echo "$RESULT"; exit 0 ;;
    failed) echo "FAILED: $RESULT" >&2; exit 1 ;;
    *) sleep 5 ;;
  esac
done
echo "TIMEOUT" >&2; exit 2

When notified, download and present result:

If autoDownload is true:

Write {taskId}-extracted.md to the current directory — full extracted content in markdown
Write {taskId}-extracted.json to the current directory — full raw API response data

echo "$CONTENT_MD" > "${TASK_ID}-extracted.md"
echo "$RESULT" > "${TASK_ID}-extracted.json"

Present:

内容提取完成！

来源：{url}
标题：{metadata.title}
长度：~{character count} 字符
消耗积分：{credits}

已保存到当前目录：
  {taskId}-extracted.md
  {taskId}-extracted.json

Show a preview of the extracted content (first ~500 chars)
Offer to use content in another skill (e.g. /podcast, /tts)

Estimated time: 10-30 seconds depending on content size and platform.
