WeChat Article Workflow Skill

English | 中文

This automated workflow has already grown my WeChat Official Account by 5,000 followers.

An agent skill that runs the whole WeChat Official Account (微信公众号) writing workflow:

topic radar → angle and fact list → outline → article.md → cover.png
          → themed layout → phone-width preview → WeChat drafts box

You talk to your agent ("help me write today's article about X"). The skill tells the agent what to do at each step, and a zero-dependency Node.js command-line tool (wxpub) does the mechanical work: fetching trending lists, rendering inline-style HTML, uploading images, and creating the draft.

The skill never publishes to your followers by default. It stops at the drafts box, and you press 发表 yourself.

Features

Step	What you get
Topic discovery	wxpub topics pulls Zhihu, Baidu, V2EX, sspai, Hacker News, GitHub, Product Hunt, Google Trends, or any feed you add. No login, no keys.
Writing	Rules for titles, openings, short paragraphs, facts versus opinions, and a ban on "please like and share" endings.
Cover image	One 16:9 cover per article, used as the draft cover and as the first image of the body. Generated through kie.ai, or bring your own.
Layout (排版)	4 themes (default, green, orange, ink), all inline styles, so the WeChat editor keeps them.
Preview	wxpub render --preview writes a 375px-wide preview.html.
Drafts box	Uploads the cover and images, creates the draft, prints the 4 settings the official interface cannot set (原创, 赞赏, 合集, ads).
End-of-article block	Past-article list, self-introduction, and the account card, added to every article.
Notifications	Optional Feishu message with the summary and the to-do list, for scheduled runs.
Tests	200+ offline checks against a mock WeChat server: npm test.

Requirements

• An agent that loads skills: Claude Code, or any agent that reads SKILL.md
• Node.js 18 or later (no npm install needed)
• For the drafts box step only: a WeChat Official Account with its AppID, AppSecret, and an entry in the address allowlist (IP 白名单)
• Optional: a kie.ai key for cover generation, a Feishu app for notifications

Steps 1 to 5 (topic to preview) need no account at all.

Install

Option 1: Claude Code plugin

/plugin marketplace add cl-victor1/wechat-article-workflow-skill
/plugin install wechat-article-workflow@wechat-article-workflow-skill

Option 2: skills command-line tool (works with many agents)

npx skills add cl-victor1/wechat-article-workflow-skill

Option 3: copy the folder

git clone https://github.com/cl-victor1/wechat-article-workflow-skill.git
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r wechat-article-workflow-skill/skills/wechat-article-workflow ~/.claude/skills/

Restart your agent after you install.

Quick start

Make a folder for your articles and open your agent there:

mkdir my-wechat && cd my-wechat
claude

Then just ask:

用 wechat-article-workflow 帮我找今天的选题，写一篇公众号文章，排版后放进草稿箱

The agent will run wxpub init, show you the trending topics, agree on an angle with you, write the article, make the cover, show you the preview, and create the draft.
