What does the article-exporter skill do?
Export any web article to a local Obsidian-ready Markdown directory. Fetches page content via actionbook CLI, downloads images locally, rewrites image references to relative paths, and optionally translates the article using AI. Produces a self-contained folder with README.md, images/, and an index.md navigation file.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add actionbook/actionbook --skill article-exporter --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From actionbook/actionbook, a repository with 1,584 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
