WeChat Post Skill

Use this skill to prepare a polished WeChat Official Account draft and hand it off to a user-authorized publishing tool. It is an orchestration workflow, not a credential manager and not a browser-control package.

Safety boundaries

• Use only for the user's own WeChat Official Account or an account they are authorized to operate.
• Do not ask the user to paste secrets into chat. Use environment variables or an agent-managed private config controlled by the user.
• Do not store, print, commit, or publish AppSecret, tokens, cookies, browser profile data, or private account config.
• Do not publish final content without explicit user direction; default target is the WeChat draft box unless instructed otherwise.
• If API access is blocked by credentials, permissions, or IP allowlist settings, ask the user to fix account settings; do not bypass controls.
• Browser-based publishing or image generation is out of scope for this skill. If needed, use a dedicated companion skill in an isolated, user-controlled browser profile.

Core workflow

1. Pick topic
• If the user already gives a topic: use it directly.
• If not: search current hot topics and offer 3 options.
• Prefer topics with local relevance, clear public interest, conflict, usefulness, or share value.

1. Write article
• Create an article folder under the project/workspace, e.g. articles/YYYY-MM-DD-short-title/.
• Write article.md at roughly 900–1300 Chinese characters unless the user asks otherwise.
• Include image placeholders in Markdown syntax only: ![](img0.png), ![](img1.png), etc.
• Use a strong opening, varied paragraph rhythm, useful subheads, and a hard ending with a comment/share prompt.

1. Humanize/self-edit
• Remove generic AI phrases, over-formal transitions, excessive bold, and excessive em dashes.
• Keep the article concrete, local, useful, and conversational.
• If an AI-humanizer skill/tool exists, use it for analysis and targeted revision.

1. Prepare images
• Prepare or generate the article assets in the article folder:
• cover.png — WeChat cover, 2.35:1 preferred.
• img0.png … — body images, usually 16:9.
• Use only image-generation tools explicitly available and authorized in the current environment.
• For Gemini web UI image generation, use the separate gemini-browser-image companion skill rather than embedding browser instructions here.

1. Self-review before draft handoff
• Verify image placeholders use ![](imgX.png).
• Verify all referenced image files exist.
• Verify no secrets, local-only credentials, cookies, or tokens are embedded in article.md.
• Choose theme by topic:
• tech/hard analysis: modern
• finance/business/career: grace
• emotion/life/soft topics: simple
• controversy/hot news: default
• unsure: grace

1. Hand off to authorized publisher
• Use a vetted WeChat publishing companion tool when available, such as baoyu-post-to-wechat.
• Confirm the required environment variables or private config already exist before running the publisher.
• Do not print secret values. Only report whether required configuration is present or missing.
• If publishing fails because of WeChat account settings, credentials, permissions, or IP allowlist, stop and ask the user to resolve those settings.

1. Clean up
• Remove temporary generated-image downloads when safe.
• Keep the article folder and source assets unless the user asks to delete them.

Quality bar

• The article must have a clear traffic goal: clicks, saves, comments, shares, or follower growth.
• The first 100–300 characters must create tension, curiosity, usefulness, or emotional resonance.
• Every image must serve the article: cover for click-through, body images for pacing/comprehension.
• Never hand off for publishing before self-review.

Optional references

• references/content-playbook.md — article structure, title/opening/ending patterns.
