What it does
wechat-skill is a skill set for agents (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor) for WeChat official account content. It turns a finished text in Markdown, Word, PDF or plain form into HTML that pastes into the account editor without losing formatting. All styles are inlined into tags and text is wrapped in `<span leaf="">`, so the editor's filters do not break the layout. From a topic and a brief the skill writes an article, removes AI-style traces, picks a cover and puts the result into the chosen account's drafts. The pipeline only creates a draft: there is no publishing or follower broadcast, and review happens by hand in WeChat drafts. For layout there are 12 themes with a generator for new ones, section numbering, an intro card, code blocks, images and GIFs. Two steps check quality: `component_lint.py` checks the component library and `validate_gzh_html.py` checks the final HTML. For topic writing, a length of 2500 to 5000 characters and a score of at least 75 apply. Several accounts are handled through separate environment variables, your agent sets the schedule and there is no built-in cron.
Who it is for. Authors and editors of WeChat official accounts who lay out articles by hand or run several accounts and want to automate the path from text to draft.
Good fit when
- A finished Markdown article should land in the WeChat editor with formatting intact
- A new layout style is needed from a single phrase or a reference image
- An article has to be written from a topic and brief, given a cover and put into account drafts
- Several accounts run with different settings and the agent sets the schedule
- The final HTML should be checked with scripts before pasting into the editor
Not a fit when
- You need a web page, slides or layout for something other than WeChat: the skill is for official accounts only
- You need automatic publishing or follower broadcast: the pipeline creates drafts only
- You have no access to a WeChat account and its keys: writing to drafts requires credentials and an allowed IP
- You need documentation without Chinese: part of the guides, including detailed usage, is in Chinese
Example request
Lay out this article in the default theme, check the HTML with the scripts and put it into the account drafts. Do not publish.Limitations
Writing to drafts requires WeChat official account credentials and an allowed IP, and details are in the Chinese guide `docs/usage.md`. The skill creates drafts only, and you publish them by hand in WeChat.
Regular publishing and hot-topic picking are off by default. The repository is meant to be loaded whole: copying only the root `SKILL.md` will not work, and the whole folder with scripts and references is needed. Cover and text edits can give results worth reviewing, and an image generation key is needed only when generation is enabled.
How to disable. Delete the cloned `wechat-skill` folder from the agent's skills or working directory. If you installed with `npx skills add`, remove the installed skill there. Remove the environment variables holding account data by hand.
FAQ
How do I install wechat-skill?
Clone the whole repository with `git clone https://github.com/843645440/wechat-skill.git`, then ask the agent to configure the skill and it runs `python3 scripts/setup_status.py`. For layout only, `npx skills add https://github.com/843645440/wechat-skill` works.
Does the skill publish articles itself?
No. The pipeline creates only a draft in the chosen account. Publishing and broadcasting to followers stay with a person in WeChat.
How do the two lanes differ?
In the first you have a finished article and the skill lays it out and puts it into drafts. In the second you give a topic and the AI writes the text, with a mandatory style pass, a length of 2500 to 5000 characters and a score of at least 75. The rest is shared.
How many layout themes are there?
Twelve ready themes and a generator for a new one from a phrase or reference image. Strict themes such as the news wire and solemn gray are meant for formal material.
Can I run several accounts?
Yes, each account has its own environment variables and materials space, and an outside agent running a schedule passes only the account alias. There is no built-in cron in the repository.
