Preface¶

When writing articles for WeChat Official Accounts (公众号), the common workflow is: first define the title and summary, then find a cover image and illustrations, and finally format paragraphs, bold text, and adjust colors in the editor before saving a draft or publishing. These steps are scattered across writing tools, graphic design tools, and the WeChat Official Account platform. This leads to repetitive labor and makes it easy to waste time on layout adjustments.

Below, we introduce a community Skill from SkillHub: “Article Optimization & Auto-Publishing for WeChat Official Account” (@user_99bc9dd8/wechat-article-publisher-auto, Version 1.0.0). On the Agent side, it receives the article content you provide and follows a fixed set of steps to generate titles and summaries, illustrations and covers, and formatted body text, finally publishing it as a WeChat Official Account draft. This is suitable for scenarios where the body text is already written, and you wish to hand over the “packaging + draft entry” work to an Agent.

What is this¶

One-sentence positioning: An automation publishing assistant Skill for WeChat Official Accounts that strings together “Title / Summary / Illustrations / Formatting / Draft” into a single triggerable workflow.

Origin & Coordinate: Community source, published by user_99bc9dd8, categorized under content-creation.
Official Entry: SkillHub Skill Page; API address https://api.skillhub.cn/user_99bc9dd8/wechat-article-publisher-auto.
Dependencies: The SkillHub tag indicates requires_api_key=true. Before use, you need to configure the relevant API keys according to the instructions within the Skill (specific fields are subject to the SKILL.md after installation).

Core Functions¶

The following capabilities are consistent with the SkillHub page and official description, without additional inference.

Title: Generates 5 candidate titles based on the body text and automatically selects one as the final title.
Summary: Generates a summary of no more than 50 characters based on the body text.
Illustrations & Cover: Generates in-text illustrations based on the body text and inserts them at appropriate positions; the total number of illustrations does not exceed 3, and one is selected from them to serve as the article cover (the process involves operations such as uploading to the Official Account material library to enable image references in the draft).
Formatting: Performs WeChat Official Account-oriented formatting beautification on the article, including paragraphing, bolding, and color schemes.
Publication Form: Publishes the formatted content as an Official Account Draft rather than directly mass-sending it to users; formal publication can still be performed in the backend after review.

Installation and Activation¶

The Skill follows the standard SKILL.md format. On SkillHub, the official installation prompt is: instruct the Agent to refer to the SkillHub Installation Documentation and install the coordinate @user_99bc9dd8/wechat-article-publisher-auto.

1. Install SkillHub CLI (if not already installed)¶

First, check if skillhub is available on your local machine:

command -v skillhub && skillhub --version

If it is not installed, you can perform a full installation (CLI + default Skills) according to the SkillHub documentation:

curl -fsSL https://skillhub-1388575217.cos.ap-guangzhou.myqcloud.com/install/install.sh | bash

If only the CLI is needed:

curl -fsSL https://skillhub-1388575217.cos.ap-guangzhou.myqcloud.com/install/install.sh | bash -s -- --cli-only

2. Install this Skill to the current Agent’s skills directory¶

When installing, you must use --dir to point to the skills directory recognized by the current Agent; the documentation notes that installing to the default ./skills/ may not be loaded by the Agent.

skillhub install user_99bc9dd8/wechat-article-publisher-auto --dir <skills directory>

Common paths (subject to SkillHub installation documentation):

Cursor: ~/.cursor/skills/
Claude Code: ~/.claude/skills/
Codex: ~/.codex/skills/ or .agents/skills/ under the project

The coordinate can also be written as @user_99bc9dd8/wechat-article-publisher-auto in conversations or configurations. After installation, configure the API Key and relevant Official Account credentials according to the SKILL.md inside the Skill package.

3. Enable in Agent¶

After restarting or refreshing the Agent’s skill list, simply invoke it using the trigger words below in the conversation. For first-time use, it is recommended to prepare a complete body text first and ensure that API and Official Account permissions meet the requirements for drafts and material uploads.

Typical Usage¶

The official page does not provide separate copyable CLI examples. The typical usage is: provide the article body text (Markdown or plain text is acceptable, subject to the Skill description) in a conversation with an Agent that has the Skill installed, and explain the intent using trigger words. The Agent will process it sequentially according to the steps defined by the Skill.

Referable expression methods (consistent with trigger words in Skill clues):

“Perform WeChat Official Account formatting on the following article, generate a title and summary, and publish to Official Account draft.”
“Based on the body text, generate Official Account illustrations (no more than 3), select a cover, then publish to Official Account as a draft.”
“This WeChat article needs a viral title and a summary within 50 characters, and finally save as a draft.”

Following the steps above, you should be able to see the formatted graphic draft in the WeChat Official Account draft box, with the title, summary, cover, and in-text images populated by the Skill process; if a step fails, prioritize checking the requires_api_key related configurations and Official Account interface permissions.

Use Cases and Notes¶

Who it is for

Those who already have a finished draft and want to quickly get multiple title options, short summaries, and basic illustrations.
Those who do not want to manually adjust paragraphs, emphasis, and colors in the Official Account editor, but still want the results to land in a draft for manual final review.
Those writing in environments that support Skills like Cursor, Claude Code, or Codex, and want to trigger a complete publishing preparation chain using natural language.

Limitations & Notes

The output target is a draft, which does not replace manual review and formal publication strategies.
The in-text illustration limit is 3 images, with the cover selected from them; unlimited illustrations are not provided.
The summary length is constrained to within 50 characters; the title process is “choose 1 from 5.” If you have strict style requirements, you should specify this additionally in the body text or conversation.
The SkillHub page shows this Skill has a rating of 100,000 and 1,127 downloads (statistics are subject to SkillHub); the tag requires an API Key, and generation and publishing steps cannot be completed without configuration.
This is a community Skill (user_99bc9dd8); upgrades and issue feedback are subject to SkillHub and the documentation within the package.

Conclusion¶

“Article Optimization & Auto-Publishing for WeChat Official Account” consolidates titles, summaries, a limited number of AI illustrations, Official Account-oriented formatting, and draft entry into a workflow that Agents can trigger, reducing the need to switch back and forth between multiple tools. If you want to proceed directly from body text to an editable Official Account draft, you can view the instructions and install it on SkillHub: https://www.skillhub.cn/skills/user_99bc9dd8/wechat-article-publisher-auto.
