Priority 1: Explicit --account Parameter
If the user specifies --account, use the corresponding folder:
/xiaohongshu-images <article> --account james-cn # → 10_在悉尼和稀泥
/xiaohongshu-images <article> --account james-en # → 11_BuildWithJames
/xiaohongshu-images <article> --account mom-reading-club # → 12_妈妈在读
Priority 2: Infer from Input File Path
If no --account is specified, try to infer from the input file path:
Input: ~/Dev/obsidian/12_妈妈在读/articles/2026-01-20-xxx/index.md
→ Output to: ~/Dev/obsidian/12_妈妈在读/articles/2026-01-20-xxx/
Input: ~/Dev/obsidian/10_在悉尼和稀泥/articles/2026-01-20-xxx/index.md
→ Output to: ~/Dev/obsidian/10_在悉尼和稀泥/articles/2026-01-20-xxx/
Priority 3: Fallback to Template Mapping
If the account cannot be determined from the path (e.g., raw content input), use template-based mapping:
Template
Account Folder
default
10_在悉尼和稀泥
mom-reading-club
12_妈妈在读

10_在悉尼和稀泥

12_妈妈在读
Usage
When the user invokes this skill, follow these steps:
Step 1: Identify the Input
The user will provide one of the following:
- A file path to a markdown, HTML, or txt file (e.g.,
/path/to/article.md)
- Raw content directly in the conversation
- A URL to fetch content from
If the input is unclear, ask the user to provide either a file path, URL, or paste the content directly.
Step 2: Read the Prompt Template
Read the prompt template from this skill's directory:
{{SKILL_DIR}}/prompts/default.md
Use the Read tool to get the prompt template content. This template defines the HTML/CSS styling specifications.
Step 3: Extract Article Title, Date, and Determine Account
From the content, extract:
- Title: The main heading (h1) or first significant title in the content
- Date: Current date in YYYY-MM-DD format
- Account Folder: Determine using the priority rules above (--account → path inference → template mapping)
Create the output folder path as: ~/Dev/obsidian/{account_folder}/articles/<date>-<sanitized-title>/
- Replace spaces with hyphens
- Remove special characters
- Keep the title reasonably short (max 50 characters)
- All images go in
_attachments/subfolder
Step 4: Generate Cover Image with baoyu-cover-image Skill
⚠️ COMPLIANCE CHECK: Before generating, ensure the image concept complies with Xiaohongshu community guidelines (Section 11 of the prompt template). The image must:
- Be age-appropriate with no revealing clothing or suggestive poses
- Avoid political symbols, violence, gambling, smoking, or alcohol abuse
- Convey positive, constructive messages
- Be culturally sensitive and original
Use the /baoyu-cover-image skill to generate the cover image:
- Invoke the skill with the article content:
/baoyu-cover-image ~/Dev/obsidian/{account_folder}/articles/<date>-<title>/index.md --style <auto-or-specified> --no-title
Or if the content is not yet saved, pass the content directly to the skill.
-
Style Selection:
- Let baoyu-cover-image auto-select based on content signals, OR
- Specify a style that matches the article tone:
tech- AI, coding, digital topics
warm- Personal stories, emotional content
bold- Controversial, attention-grabbing topics
minimal- Simple, zen-like content
playful- Fun, casual, beginner-friendly content
nature- Wellness, health, organic topics
retro- History, vintage, traditional topics
elegant- Business, professional content (default)
Special: Mom Reading Club Template
When using the mom-reading-club template, override the default cover style with calligraphy & ink-wash illustration (书法水墨风):
/baoyu-cover-image <article> --style minimal --no-title --custom-prompt "Chinese calligraphy and ink-wash illustration style (书法水墨风). Zen-like simplicity with generous white space (留白). Include subtle ink-wash brush strokes as background texture. Minimalist botanical elements (bamboo, plum blossoms, orchids, lotus) when appropriate. Color palette: ink black (#1a1a1a), warm gray (#666666), subtle gold accents (#C9A962), warm off-white background (#F5F3EE). If human figures are included, depict an elegant woman aged 30-45 with a contemplative, refined demeanor. NO TEXT on the cover."
-
**Use --no-title flag** since Xiaohongshu covers typically use visual-only images without embedded text.
-
Move the generated image to the correct location:
- baoyu-cover-image saves to
imgs/cover.pngrelative to the article
- Move/copy to
~/Dev/obsidian/{account_folder}/articles/<date>-<title>/_attachments/cover-xhs.png
mv ~/Dev/obsidian/{account_folder}/articles/<date>-<title>/imgs/cover.png ~/Dev/obsidian/{account_folder}/articles/<date>-<title>/_attachments/cover-xhs.png
Step 5: Generate HTML
⚠️ COMPLIANCE CHECK: Before generating HTML, review the text content for compliance:
- No absolute/superlative claims (最好、第一、国家级、最高级、全网最低价)
- No exaggerated effect claims (一分钟见效、吃完就变白)
- No false or unverified medical/financial advice
- No defamatory or offensive language
- If health/investment topics are involved, add disclaimer text
Using the prompt template and the user's content:
-
Parse the content to identify:
- Title (h1)
- Subtitles (h2-h6)
- Paragraphs
- Lists
- Code blocks
- Links
- Emphasis/bold text
- Blockquotes
-
Generate complete HTML following the template specifications:
- Dark gradient background
- 600px × 800px cream-colored card
- Proper typography with Google Fonts (Noto Serif SC, Inter, JetBrains Mono)
- Cover image at the top
- All specified styling for text, links, lists, code blocks, etc.
- Responsive design for mobile
-
Important HTML Structure:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="zh-CN">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Article Title</title>
<!-- Google Fonts -->
<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Noto+Serif+SC:wght@700&family=Inter:wght@300;400;700;800&family=JetBrains+Mono:wght@400;700&display=swap" rel="stylesheet">
<style>
/* All CSS styles inline */
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="container">
<img src="_attachments/cover-xhs.png" class="cover-image" alt="Cover">
<div class="content">
<!-- Article content -->
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
- Save the HTML to
~/Dev/obsidian/{account_folder}/articles/<date>-<title>/xhs-preview.html
Step 6: Take Screenshots
After generating the HTML, capture sequential screenshots of the .container element at exact 3:4 aspect ratio:
Screenshot Specifications:
- Container viewport: 600px × 800px (3:4 ratio)
- Output resolution: 1200px × 1600px (2x device scale factor)
- Each screenshot captures exactly the
.containerelement, not the full page
Capture Process:
- Open the HTML page using Playwright browser with viewport larger than container
- Configure browser context:
- Viewport: 800px × 1000px (larger than container to ensure full visibility)
- Device scale factor: 2x for high-resolution output
- Scroll within the container:
- The
.containerelement hasoverflow-y: auto, making it internally scrollable
- Start from
scrollTop = 0and increment through the content
- Each scroll position captures one 3:4 ratio screenshot
- Smart text boundary detection:
- Before each screenshot, analyze visible block elements (p, h1-h6, li, blockquote, pre, img)
- If an element would be cut at the bottom boundary, end the current screenshot before that element
- Add whitespace mask to cover partial content, maintaining clean 3:4 frame
- Next screenshot starts with the cut element at the top
- **Capture the complete
.containercontent**:
- Use
container.screenshot()to capture only the container element (excludes page background)
- Continue until all content is captured (scrollTop reaches scrollHeight - clientHeight)
- Save screenshots to
~/Dev/obsidian/{account_folder}/articles/<date>-<title>/_attachments/:
- Sequential naming:
xhs-01.png,xhs-02.png,xhs-03.png, etc.
Use the screenshot script:
cd {{SKILL_DIR}} && python scripts/screenshot.py ~/Dev/obsidian/{account_folder}/articles/<date>-<title>/xhs-preview.html
Script Output:
- Each screenshot: exactly 1200×1600 pixels (3:4 ratio at 2x scale)
- Only the cream-colored card content is captured
- No text is cut off between screenshots
Step 7: Report Results
After completion, report to the user:
- HTML file location
- Number of screenshots generated
- Screenshots folder location
- Preview of the first screenshot (if possible)
