What it does

The skill creates and edits covers for Xiaohongshu (小红书) posts. It activates on phrases like "生成封面", "小红书封面", "制作封面", "xhs封面" or "修改封面". There are 18 preset styles for scenarios such as work, home, shows and art, and all styles can be previewed at xhscover.vivi.wiki. The main path targets Codex: the skill uses the built-in Codex image generation and editing, and no separate key is needed. The fallback path works through the command line and the Gemini API, needing Node.js 18 or newer, `npm install` and a key from Google AI Studio, and for OpenClaw the key goes into `~/.openclaw/config.yaml`. Install in Codex: `git clone https://github.com/Vivixiao980/xhs-cover-skill ~/.codex/skills/xhs-cover-skill`, then restart Codex. For Claude Code the repository is cloned into `~/.claude/skills/xhs-cover`, and for OpenClaw into `~/.openclaw/skills/xhs-cover`.

Who it is for. Authors and social media managers who run Xiaohongshu and want to make post covers through an agent without opening a graphic editor.

Good fit when

  • A post needs a cover in one of 18 preset styles from one request.
  • A finished cover has to be corrected: change the title or color.
  • A series of posts goes out in one style.
  • A cover is built by a script from the command line without Codex.

Not a fit when

  • You need covers for other platforms: the skill is tuned to the Xiaohongshu format.
  • You have neither Codex with image generation nor a Gemini key.
  • You need an editable source layout: the result comes out as an image.

Example request

小红书封面: make a cover for a post about weekly planning in an office style.

Limitations

The main path uses Codex image generation, while the fallback pays through a Gemini API key and depends on a model name that Google changes between versions. The command line needs Node.js 18 or newer and `npm install`. The terms of the Google AI Studio free tier for images change, so check them against the current pricing page. The interface and instructions are written in Chinese. No license file was found in the repository. The last commit dates from October 2026.

How to disable. Delete the `~/.codex/skills/xhs-cover-skill` directory (or `~/.claude/skills/xhs-cover`, `~/.openclaw/skills/xhs-cover`) and restart the agent. Remove the keys from the OpenClaw configuration separately.
