Activation
This is the description your AI agent reads to decide when to run this skill — the better it matches your request, the more reliably it fires.
Posts content to WeChat Official Account (微信公众号) via API or Chrome CDP. Supports article posting (文章) with HTML, markdown, or plain text input, and image-text posting (贴图, formerly 图文) with multiple images. Markdown article workflows default to converting ordinary external links into bottom citations for WeChat-friendly output. Use when user mentions "发布公众号", "post to wechat", "微信公众号", or "贴图/图文/文章".Key capabilities
- →Converts markdown and HTML to WeChat formats
- →Publishes multi-image posts and articles
- →Automates article posting via browser automation
- →Converts external links to bottom citations
- →Verifies environment and account permissions
How it works
It uses headless browser automation or API requests to programmatically format and upload content to the WeChat backend.

Post to WeChat Official Account
User Input Tools
When this skill prompts the user, follow this tool-selection rule (priority order):
- Prefer built-in user-input tools exposed by the current agent runtime — e.g.,
AskUserQuestion,request_user_input,clarify,ask_user, or any equivalent. - Fallback: if no such tool exists, emit a numbered plain-text message and ask the user to reply with the chosen number/answer for each question.
- Batching: if the tool supports multiple questions per call, combine all applicable questions into a single call; if only single-question, ask them one at a time in priority order.
Concrete AskUserQuestion references below are examples — substitute the local equivalent in other runtimes.
Language
Respond in the user's language. If they write in Chinese, reply in Chinese; if English, English. Keep technical tokens (paths, flags, field names) in English.
Script Directory
{baseDir} = this SKILL.md's directory. Resolve ${BUN_X}: prefer bun; else npx -y bun; else suggest brew install oven-sh/bun/bun.

# Remote API publishing (optional) — only set if WeChat's IP allowlist
# excludes your local machine. See "Remote API Method" below.
# remote_publish_host: server.example.com
# remote_publish_user: deploy

Raw ssh / scp options are intentionally not supported; only the typed keys above are honored. Authentication is SSH key only (no passwords).
Theme options: default, grace, simple, modern. Color presets: blue, green, vermilion, yellow, purple, sky, rose, olive, black, gray, pink, red, orange (or hex).
Value priority: CLI args → frontmatter → EXTEND.md (account-level → global) → skill defaults.
Multi-Account Support
EXTEND.md supports an accounts: block for managing multiple Official Accounts. With 2+ entries, the workflow inserts a Step 0.5 to prompt for account selection (or auto-selects based on default: true or --account <alias>).
Full details — compatibility rules, per-account keys, credential resolution, per-account Chrome profiles, CLI usage — in references/multi-account.md.
Pre-flight Check (Optional)
Before first use, suggest the environment check (user can skip):
${BUN_X} {baseDir}/scripts/check-permissions.ts
Checks: Chrome, profile isolation, Bun, Accessibility, clipboard, paste keystroke, API credentials, Chrome conflicts.
| Check fails | Fix |
|---|---|
| Chrome | Install Chrome or set WECHAT_BROWSER_CHROME_PATH |
| Profile dir | Shared profile at baoyu-skills/chrome-profile |
| Bun runtime | brew install oven-sh/bun/bun or npm install -g bun |
| Accessibility (macOS) | System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility → enable terminal app |
| Clipboard copy | Ensure Swift/AppKit (macOS: xcode-select --install) |
| Paste keystroke (Linux) | Install xdotool (X11) or ydotool (Wayland) |
| API credentials | Follow guided setup in Step 2, or set in .baoyu-skills/.env |
Image-Text Posting (图文)
Short posts with multiple images (up to 9):
${BUN_X} {baseDir}/scripts/wechat-browser.ts --markdown article.md --images ./images/
${BUN_X} {baseDir}/scripts/wechat-browser.ts --title "标题" --content "内容" --image img.png --submit
Details: references/image-text-posting.md.
Article Posting Workflow (文章)
- [ ] Step 0: Load preferences (EXTEND.md)
- [ ] Step 0.5: Resolve account (multi-account only — see references/multi-account.md)
- [ ] Step 1: Determine input type
- [ ] Step 2: Select method and configure credentials
- [ ] Step 3: Resolve theme/color and validate metadata
- [ ] Step 4: Publish to WeChat
- [ ] Step 5: Report completion
Step 0: Load Preferences
Check and load EXTEND.md (see "Preferences" above). If not found, complete first-time setup before any other questions. Resolve and cache for later steps: default_theme, default_color, default_author, need_open_comment, only_fans_can_comment.
Step 1: Determine Input Type
| Input | Detection | Next |
|---|---|---|
| HTML file | Path ends .html, file exists | Skip to Step 3 |
| Markdown file | Path ends .md, file exists | Step 2 |
| Plain text | Not a file path, or file doesn't exist | Save to markdown, then Step 2 |
Plain-text handling:
- Generate slug (first 2-4 meaningful words, kebab-case; translate Chinese to English for the slug).
- Save to
post-to-wechat/YYYY-MM-DD/<slug>.md(create directory if needed). - Continue as a markdown file.
Step 2: Select Publishing Method and Configure
Ask method unless specified in EXTEND.md or CLI:
| Method | Speed | Requires |
|---|---|---|
api (Recommended) | Fast | API credentials (local IP allowlisted) |
browser | Slow | Chrome + logged-in session |
remote-api | Fast | API credentials + an SSH-reachable server whose IP is on the WeChat allowlist |
API selected + missing credentials → run guided setup per references/api-setup.md (writes to .baoyu-skills/.env).
remote-api method: WeChat's "公众号设置 → IP 白名单" often limits API access to one or two fixed IPs. If your local machine's IP is not on that list but a cloud server's is, use remote-api: all markdown rendering, image processing, draft assembly, and HTML rewriting still happen locally, and only the outbound HTTPS calls to api.weixin.qq.com (token, uploadimg, add_material, draft/add) are tunneled through an SSH SOCKS5 dynamic port forward (ssh -N -D) so that WeChat sees the remote server as the source IP. No files are written to the remote host; AppSecret never leaves the local process. Requires only sshd and outbound network on the remote host — no Python, no agent process. See "Remote API Method" below.
Step 3: Resolve Theme/Color and Validate Metadata
- Theme: CLI
--theme→ EXTEND.mddefault_theme→default(first match wins; do NOT ask if resolved). - Color: CLI
--color→ EXTEND.mddefault_color→ omit (theme default applies). - Validate metadata (frontmatter for markdown, meta tags for HTML):
| Field | Missing → |
|---|---|
| Title | Ask, or press Enter to auto-generate from content |
| Summary | Frontmatter description → summary → ask or auto-generate |
| Author | CLI --author → frontmatter author → EXTEND.md default_author |
| Source URL | CLI --source-url → frontmatter sourceUrl/contentSourceUrl/content_source_url |
Auto-generation: title = first H1/H2 or first sentence; summary = first paragraph, truncated to 120 chars.
- Cover image (required for API
article_type=news): CLI--cover→ frontmatter (coverImage/featureImage/cover/image) →imgs/cover.png→ first inline image → stop and request one if still missing.
Step 4: Publish
Important — never pre-convert markdown to HTML. Publishing scripts handle the conversion internally and the two methods render images differently: API renders <img> tags for upload, browser uses placeholders for paste-and-replace. Passing a pre-converted HTML breaks one or the other.
Markdown citation default: for markdown input, ordinary external links are converted to bottom citations by default. Use --no-cite only if the user explicitly wants to keep inline links. Existing HTML input is left as-is.
API method (accepts .md or .html):
${BUN_X} {baseDir}/scripts/wechat-api.ts <file> --theme <theme> [--color <color>] [--title <title>] [--summary <summary>] [--author <author>] [--cover <cover_path>] [--source-url <url>] [--no-cite]
Always pass --theme even if it's default. Only pass --color when explicitly set by the user or EXTEND.md.
Remote API method (same script, adds --remote):
${BUN_X} {baseDir}/scripts/wechat-api.ts <file> --theme <theme> --remote [--remote-host <host>] [--remote-user <user>] [--remote-port <port>] [--remote-identity-file <path>] [--remote-known-hosts-file <path>] [--remote-strict-host-key-checking yes|no|accept-new] [--remote-connect-timeout <s>] [--remote-proxy-jump <spec>]
Any --remote-* flag implies --remote. CLI values override account-level then global remote_publish_* keys from EXTEND.md. Setting default_publish_method: remote-api also enables remote mode without --remote.
