What it does
article2media takes an article or a video link and prepares material for Chinese platforms: 3:4 Xiaohongshu cards, a long image, WeChat publishing layout and a vertical video with local voiceover and word-by-word captions. Sources include long X posts, web pages, WeChat articles, local Markdown, Douyin, YouTube and Bilibili links, plus `.srt` and `.vtt` files. Video is first turned into a transcript. The set is made of separate skills: article fetch, video transcript, rewrite, full-text translation, long image, cards, WeChat layout, video, argument whiteboard and comic. Skills run one by one, and the `/article2media` entry gives common combinations, batch processing and publishing-data tracking. Every output is checked automatically and the build stops on errors. 21 themes are available.
Who it is for. Authors and editors publishing on Xiaohongshu and WeChat who want to turn long texts and videos into platform-ready material.
Good fit when
- There is a long X post or article that must become Xiaohongshu cards in one pass.
- A Bilibili or YouTube video is turned into a transcript first and then an article.
- Your own text has to be laid out for WeChat without changing a single word.
- A foreign article is translated into Chinese and released as one set in several formats.
Not a fit when
- The material is not Chinese and not for Chinese platforms, while themes and formats are tuned for them.
- Node.js 22 and Chrome are missing and cannot be installed.
- You expect a fully cloud service with no local files or fonts.
Example request
Run `/article2media` on this long X post link as Xiaohongshu cards and WeChat layout, no summary, word for word.Limitations
Node.js 22 and Chrome are required. Voiceover, word alignment, image generation and ffmpeg for video are optional, and `scripts/install.sh` checks and installs them on request. Theme fonts can be downloaded with `node skills/article2media/scripts/fonts.mjs`, about 65 MB. The set itself installs nothing without your knowledge. Texts, themes and formats target a Chinese audience, and other languages are not stated as the main scenario.
How to disable. Remove the plugin with `claude plugin uninstall article2media` or delete the skill folders from the agent skills directory. Downloaded fonts and outputs live in the working folder.
FAQ
How do I install article2media in Claude Code?
Run `claude plugin marketplace add threerocks/article2media` and `claude plugin install article2media@article2media`. The plugin installs all 11 skills and runs the environment check on first use.
Does it work in Codex?
Yes, the skills fit Codex, and in Claude Code they install as a plugin. The README install section covers both.
Which videos does it accept?
Douyin, YouTube and Bilibili links, local video and audio, and `.srt` or `.vtt` subtitles. A transcript comes first and the article is built from it.
Can text be released without summarizing?
Yes. The original path changes no words and reads each block back for comparison. Translation has its own skill and summarizing is opt-in.
How is the output checked?
Every output type is checked automatically after the build: on failure it stops with a message.
