What this skill tells the agent
CNKI Paper Download (文献下载)
Prerequisites
User must be logged in to CNKI with download permissions.
Arguments
$ARGUMENTS is optionally a paper detail URL. If blank, uses current page.
Steps
1. Navigate (if URL provided)
If URL provided: use navigate_page to go to the URL directly (no wait_for needed — Step 2 handles waiting).
Important: Always use navigate_page instead of clicking links on the search results page. Clicking opens a new tab and wastes 3 extra tool calls (list_pages + select_page + take_snapshot).
2. Check status and download (single async evaluate_script)
Replace FORMAT with "pdf" or "caj":
async () => {
// Wait for page load
await new Promise((r, j) => {
let n = 0;
const c = () => {
if (document.querySelector('.brief h1')) r();
else if (++n > 30) j('timeout');
else setTimeout(c, 500);
};
c();
});
// Captcha check
const cap = document.querySelector('#tcaptcha_transform_dy');
if (cap && cap.getBoundingClientRect().top >= 0) {
return { error: 'captcha', message: 'CNKI 正在显示滑块验证码。请在 Chrome 中手动完成拼图验证。' };
}
const format = "FORMAT"; // "pdf" or "caj"
// Check download links
const pdfLink = document.querySelector('#pdfDown') || document.querySelector('.btn-dlpdf a');
const cajLink = document.querySelector('#cajDown') || document.querySelector('.btn-dlcaj a');
// Check login status
const notLogged = document.querySelector('.downloadlink.icon-notlogged')
|| document.querySelector('[class*="notlogged"]');
if (notLogged) {
return { error: 'not_logged_in', message: '下载需要登录。请先在 Chrome 中登录知网账号。' };
}
const title = document.querySelector('.brief h1')?.innerText?.trim()?.replace(/\s*网络首发\s*$/, '') || '';
if (format === 'pdf' && pdfLink) {
pdfLink.click();
return { status: 'downloading', format: 'PDF', title };
} else if (format === 'caj' && cajLink) {
cajLink.click();
return { status: 'downloading', format: 'CAJ', title };
} else if (pdfLink) {
pdfLink.click();
return { status: 'downloading', format: 'PDF', title };
} else if (cajLink) {
cajLink.click();
return { status: 'downloading', format: 'CAJ', title };
}
return { error: 'no_download', message: '未找到下载链接', hasPDF: !!pdfLink, hasCAJ: !!cajLink };
}3. Report
Based on JS result:
status: downloading→ "PDF 下载已触发:{title}。请在 Chrome 下载管理器中查看。"error: not_logged_in→ tell user to log inerror: captcha→ tell user to solve captcha
Tool calls: 1–2 (navigate_page if URL + evaluate_script)
Verified selectors
| Element | Selector | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| PDF download | #pdfDown | <a> inside li.btn-dlpdf |
| CAJ download | #cajDown | <a> inside li.btn-dlcaj |
| Download area | .download-btns | parent <div> |
| Not logged in | .downloadlink.icon-notlogged | |
| Title | .brief h1 | strip trailing "网络首发" |
Captcha detection
Check #tcaptcha_transform_dy element's getBoundingClientRect().top >= 0. Only active when top >= 0 (visible). Pre-loaded SDK sits at top: -1000000px.
