4chan Reader

This skill allows you to catalog and extract threads from 4chan boards into structured text.

Workflows

1. View Board Catalog

To see active threads and their reply counts on a board:

python3 scripts/chan_extractor.py catalog <board>

Output format: ThreadID|PostCount|TeaserText

2. Extract Thread Content

To read a specific thread and optionally save it:

python3 scripts/chan_extractor.py thread <board> <thread_id> [output_root_dir] [word_limit]
  • output_root_dir (optional): If provided, saves content to <output_root_dir>/<board>_<timestamp>/<thread_id>.txt.
  • word_limit (optional): Limits each line of post text to the specified number of words.
