Post to WeChat Official Account
User Input Tools
When this skill prompts the user, follow this tool-selection rule (priority order):
- Prefer built-in user-input tools exposed by the current agent runtime — e.g.,
AskUserQuestion,request_user_input,clarify,ask_user, or any equivalent. - Fallback: if no such tool exists, emit a numbered plain-text message and ask the user to reply with the chosen number/answer for each question.
- Batching: if the tool supports multiple questions per call, combine all applicable questions into a single call; if only single-question, ask them one at a time in priority order.
Concrete AskUserQuestion references below are examples — substitute the local equivalent in other runtimes.
Language
Respond in the user's language. If they write in Chinese, reply in Chinese; if English, English. Keep technical tokens (paths, flags, field names) in English.
Script Directory
{baseDir} = this SKILL.md's directory. Resolve ${BUN_X}: prefer bun; else npx -y bun; else suggest brew install oven-sh/bun/bun.
| Script | Purpose |
|---|---|
scripts/wechat-browser.ts | Image-text posts (图文) |
scripts/wechat-article.ts | Article posting via browser (文章) |
scripts/wechat-api.ts | Article posting via API (文章) |
scripts/md-to-wechat.ts | Markdown → WeChat-ready HTML with image placeholders |
scripts/check-permissions.ts | Verify environment & permissions |
Preferences (EXTEND.md)
Check these paths in order; first hit wins:
| Path | Scope |
|---|---|
.baoyu-skills/baoyu-post-to-wechat/EXTEND.md | Project |
${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}/baoyu-skills/baoyu-post-to-wechat/EXTEND.md | XDG |
$HOME/.baoyu-skills/baoyu-post-to-wechat/EXTEND.md | User home |
Found → read, parse, apply. Not found → run first-time setup (references/config/first-time-setup.md) before anything else.
Minimum keys (case-insensitive, accept 1/0 or true/false):
| Key | Default | Mapping |

default_author | empty | Fallback for author when CLI/frontmatter not provided |
need_open_comment | 1 | articles[].need_open_comment in draft/add |
only_fans_can_comment | 0 | articles[].only_fans_can_comment in draft/add |
Recommended EXTEND.md:
default_theme: default
default_color: blue
default_publish_method: browser
default_author: 宝玉
need_open_comment: 1
only_fans_can_comment: 0
chrome_profile_path: /path/to/chrome/profile
# Remote API publishing (optional) — only set if WeChat's IP allowlist
# excludes your local machine. See "Remote API Method" below.
# remote_publish_host: server.example.com
# remote_publish_user: deploy
# remote_publish_port: 22
# remote_publish_identity_file: ~/.ssh/id_ed25519
# remote_publish_known_hosts_file: ~/.ssh/known_hosts
# remote_publish_strict_host_key_checking: accept-new
# remote_publish_connect_timeout: 10

Raw ssh / scp options are intentionally not supported; only the typed keys above are honored. Authentication is SSH key only (no passwords).
Theme options: default, grace, simple, modern. Color presets: blue, green, vermilion, yellow, purple, sky, rose, olive, black, gray, pink, red, orange (or hex).
Value priority: CLI args → frontmatter → EXTEND.md (account-level → global) → skill defaults.
Multi-Account Support
EXTEND.md supports an accounts: block for managing multiple Official Accounts. With 2+ entries, the workflow inserts a Step 0.5 to prompt for account selection (or auto-selects based on default: true or --account <alias>).
Full details — compatibility rules, per-account keys, credential resolution, per-account Chrome profiles, CLI usage — in references/multi-account.md.
Pre-flight Check (Optional)
Before first use, suggest the environment check (user can skip):
${BUN_X} {baseDir}/scripts/check-permissions.ts
Checks: Chrome, profile isolation, Bun, Accessibility, clipboard, paste keystroke, API credentials, Chrome conflicts.
| Check fails | Fix |
|---|---|
| Chrome | Install Chrome or set WECHAT_BROWSER_CHROME_PATH |
| Profile dir | Shared profile at baoyu-skills/chrome-profile |
| Bun runtime | brew install oven-sh/bun/bun or npm install -g bun |
| Accessibility (macOS) | System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility → enable terminal app |
| Clipboard copy | Ensure Swift/AppKit (macOS: xcode-select --install) |
| Paste keystroke (Linux) | Install xdotool (X11) or ydotool (Wayland) |
| API credentials | Follow guided setup in Step 2, or set in .baoyu-skills/.env |
Image-Text Posting (图文)
Short posts with multiple images (up to 9):
${BUN_X} {baseDir}/scripts/wechat-browser.ts --markdown article.md --images ./images/
${BUN_X} {baseDir}/scripts/wechat-browser.ts --title "标题" --content "内容" --image img.png --submit
Details: references/image-text-posting.md.
Article Posting Workflow (文章)
- [ ] Step 0: Load preferences (EXTEND.md)
- [ ] Step 0.5: Resolve account (multi-account only — see references/multi-account.md)
- [ ] Step 1: Determine input type
- [ ] Step 2: Select method and configure credentials
- [ ] Step 3: Resolve theme/color and validate metadata
- [ ] Step 4: Publish to WeChat
- [ ] Step 5: Report completion
Step 0: Load Preferences
Check and load EXTEND.md (see "Preferences" above). If not found, complete first-time setup before any other questions. Resolve and cache for later steps: default_theme, default_color, default_author, need_open_comment, only_fans_can_comment.
Step 1: Determine Input Type
| Input | Detection | Next |
|---|---|---|
| HTML file | Path ends .html, file exists | Skip to Step 3 |
| Markdown file | Path ends .md, file exists | Step 2 |
| Plain text | Not a file path, or file doesn't exist | Save to markdown, then Step 2 |
Plain-text handling:
- Generate slug (first 2-4 meaningful words, kebab-case; translate Chinese to English for the slug).
- Save to
post-to-wechat/YYYY-MM-DD/<slug>.md(create directory if needed). - Continue as a markdown file.
Step 2: Select Publishing Method and Configure
Ask method unless specified in EXTEND.md or CLI:
| Method | Speed | Requires |
|---|---|---|
api (Recommended) | Fast | API credentials (local IP allowlisted) |
browser | Slow | Chrome + logged-in session |
remote-api | Fast | API credentials + an SSH-reachable server whose IP is on the WeChat allowlist |
API selected + missing credentials → run guided setup per references/api-setup.md (writes to .baoyu-skills/.env).
remote-api method: WeChat's "公众号设置 → IP 白名单" often limits API access to one or two fixed IPs. If your local machine's IP is not on that list but a cloud server's is, use remote-api: all markdown rendering, image processing, draft assembly, and HTML rewriting still happen locally, and only the outbound HTTPS calls to api.weixin.qq.com (token, uploadimg, add_material, draft/add) are tunneled through an SSH SOCKS5 dynamic port forward (ssh -N -D) so that WeChat sees the remote server as the source IP. No files are written to the remote host; AppSecret never leaves the local process. Requires only sshd and outbound network on the remote host — no Python, no agent process. See "Remote API Method" below.
Step 3: Resolve Theme/Color and Validate Metadata
- Theme: CLI
--theme→ EXTEND.mddefault_theme→default(first match wins; do NOT ask if resolved). - Color: CLI
--color→ EXTEND.mddefault_color→ omit (theme default applies). - Validate metadata (frontmatter for markdown, meta tags for HTML):
| Field | Missing → |
|---|---|
| Title | Ask, or press Enter to auto-generate from content |
| Summary | Frontmatter description → summary → ask or auto-generate |
| Author | CLI --author → frontmat |
