## What it does

The skill runs `reader.sh` to route requests through Jina AI infrastructure. It provides three operating modes: reading a page into clean Markdown, searching the web for the top 5 results with full text, and fact-checking specific claims. Because pages are fetched through remote headless Chrome instances, target servers never see your server IP.

You can tune the extraction with CLI flags. The `--selector` option targets a specific DOM block, while `--remove` strips out ads and navigation before parsing. It also supports geo-proxies via `--proxy`, bypassing cache with `--nocache`, and outputs in Markdown, text, HTML, or screenshot format.

To use it, you must have `curl` and `jq` installed in your environment, plus a `JINA_API_KEY` token. The free tier grants 10M tokens without registration. Fact-checking queries consume around 300K tokens and take roughly 30s, so running repeated checks will deplete credits quickly.
