What it does
The skill builds a local page where a Markdown article is laid out for a WeChat official account. A settings panel on the right offers five original themes with a shared accent colour change, thirteen component kinds that can be swapped individually, plus font, size, weight, paragraphs and spacing around headings and images. The text on the left is edited right on the page. Finished settings save in the browser as a custom style. The copy button outputs rich text with inline styles, ready to paste into the WeChat editor. A second flow, style learning, analyses a screenshot or an article link and extracts only the layout system: hierarchy, whitespace, colour roles, fonts and borders. After confirmation the style is saved as a theme. The skill never rewrites or publishes the article.
Who it is for. Authors and editors of WeChat official accounts who write in Markdown and want to style an article without manual layout in the editor.
Good fit when
- An article is ready in Markdown and must be styled for WeChat with a live preview.
- You liked the layout of someone's article and want to adopt its system as your own style.
- A single heading or table needs a different look without changing the whole theme.
- Styling must repeat from article to article and the settings need saving.
Not a fit when
- You need the article text: the skill lays out finished text, and a neighbouring `zhouxing-writing-wx` skill covers writing.
- The article must be published to a live account: copying publishes nothing.
- You need an exact copy of someone's layout from a screenshot: an image gives only approximate sizes and colours.
Example request
Use $zhouxing-paiban-wx to lay out this article and open the preview page.Limitations
Saved custom styles live in the current browser and the current page origin: clearing site data or changing browser or device does not sync them. Copying uses inline styles and turns lists into plain paragraphs while tables get fixed columns, but the result must always be checked by pasting into the WeChat editor. A screenshot gives only an estimate of fonts and colours and such values are marked unverified. The skill is written for Codex, and other agents get the folder copied by hand.
How to disable. Delete the `zhouxing-paiban-wx` folder from `~/.codex/skills/`. Saved styles stay in the browser and are cleared through site data.
FAQ
How do I install the skill?
Clone the repository and run `cp -R zhouxing-paiban-wx/zhouxing-paiban-wx ~/.codex/skills/`. For other agents that understand `SKILL.md`, copy this folder into their skills directory.
How do I start the layout?
In Codex write: use $zhouxing-paiban-wx to lay out this article and open the preview page. By hand it works with `python3 zhouxing-paiban-wx/scripts/build_preview.py --article /absolute/path/article.md`.
Do I need to install the skill to try it?
No. An online preview page opens on GitHub Pages and shows every setting on a sample article.
Is the article uploaded to a server?
No. The page is created in the system temporary folder on your machine and the article text is not sent.
How do I save my own style?
Click the save as new style button and name it. Theme, colours, fonts, components and spacing go into the style dropdown of that browser, and the article text is not saved.
