About this skill
Problem
Content teams often receive one or more https://weixin.qq.com/sph/... WeChat Channels links and need the material for pacing analysis, script review, and asset archiving. Saving by forwarding or screenshots can miss the original video, cover, and metadata, and it is hard to keep a searchable local folder. This skill makes that download workflow more stable and repeatable.
How It Works
The skill uses the built-in wx_channels.py, so it does not require other installed skills. After a user provides a link, it runs scripts/bobby_download.py to resolve and download the content into the fixed directory E:\workbuddy\视频号. Each successful run writes three files: the MP4 video, the cover image .jpg, and the metadata .json, which helps teams organize assets by file. It runs with Python 3.10+ and playwright to drive the browser-based resolution and download. If login state issues appear, such as LOGIN_REQUIRED, NO_CAPTURED_HEADERS, YUANBAO_AUTH_FAILED, or LOGIN_TIMEOUT, it opens an isolated browser, guides the user to scan and log in once, then retries. It prints structured results, including success or failure, file paths, and file sizes.
Boundaries
It fits WeChat Channels links that can be opened in WeChat, whether one or many, and archives them to the target directory. Files are saved at platform quality without extra watermarking. If the Yuanbao API changes and requests fail, users usually need to log in to Yuanbao again or verify the link. The skill does not install system root certificates or modify system proxy settings, and login state is kept only in the dedicated isolated browser profile.
Use Cases
