WeChat Article Writer

Problem

Writing a WeChat article often stalls on concrete steps: finding reliable sources, deciding whether the angle and title are publishable, keeping body text within platform limits, producing clean layout, and making sure image URLs pass WeChat filtering. wechat-article-writer turns these steps into a confirmable workflow, so authors do not have to jump constantly between research, writing, layout, and API upload.

How It Works

• Environment check: verifies APPID/APPSECRET, ARK_API_KEY, and IP whitelist readiness before execution.
• Research: uses web_search to collect sources and cross-checks key facts across multiple references.
• Stepwise confirmation: proposes topic positioning, 3-5 candidate titles, article outline, and full draft, with each step adjustable.
• Formatting and images: saves the draft as article.md, converts it to HTML with scripts/format_article.py, and generates fixed 3136x1344 images using scripts/generate_image.py.
• Draft upload: uses scripts such as scripts/add_draft.py to handle Access Token retrieval, image upload, and draft creation.

Boundaries

• It targets WeChat article production and depends on WeChat APIs and Volcano Ark for image generation.
• The repository does not include an automatic script for replacing body image placeholders; manual replacement with WeChat-returned URLs may be needed.
• Keep summaries under 128 characters and body text under 20,000 characters; body images must be uploaded through WeChat's required image interface.
