Use this skill when the user wants to archive a live webpage in the Internet Archive Wayback Machine, get a stable citation URL for a page that may change or disappear, check whether a URL is already archived, or batch-save a list of URLs with a local command-line wrapper.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# wayback-archive Use the bundled wrapper around the Internet Archive Wayback Machine to save a live URL, check whether a URL already has a snapshot, or batch-save a list of URLs. ## Default workflow 1. Save a single live page: ```bash python3 skills/wayback-archive/scripts/wayback_archive.py save https://example.com/article ``` 2. Read the JSON result: - `archived_url` is the permanent Wayback snapshot URL. - `timestamp` is the 14-digit Wayback capture timestamp when available. - `source` shows whether the result came directly from the save endpoint or from the availability lookup fallback. - If the goal is simply to obtain a stable archived URL, an existing snapshot returned by the availability fallback is acceptable. - If the goal is to force a fresh capture now, inspect `timestamp` and do not assume `save` created a new snapshot unless the returned time is actually new. 3. Check whether a URL is already archived without submitting a new save: ```bash python3 skills/wayback-archive/scripts/wayback_archive.py available https://example.com/article ``` 4. If the user has a file with one URL per line, batch-save it: ```bash …

How to install
mdr add brenorb/freedom-skills/wayback-archive@sha256:cc674f8c19f1256bThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260702.457e21e, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
