Alibaba Cloud Wan 2.6 WeChat Cover Image Generator

Problem

Technical articles often need cover art and inline images that match the article’s argument. Manually sourced visuals can drift from the title, and dimensions are easy to get wrong. This skill targets technical writers publishing to WeChat Official Accounts: it sends a title or summary to the Alibaba Cloud Wan 2.6 text-to-image model and returns downloadable image files.

How It Works

The skill exposes three primary commands:
- generate_wx_cover: creates a 16:9 (1280×720) WeChat cover from title, optional content, and style.
- generate_tech_diagram: renders AI or large-model architecture diagrams from a description and component list.
- generate_article_images: generates multiple paragraph illustrations, default 3 and max 5.
Credentials can be supplied via DASHSCOPE_API_KEY, a local .env file, or a per-call key. For automation, --json-only keeps stdout JSON-safe for downstream parsing.

Boundaries And Notes

Generated URLs expire in roughly 24 hours, so images should be downloaded promptly to ~/WorkBuddy/... or a custom directory. Generation takes about 1–2 minutes and is billed by image count. It is suitable for covers, architecture sketches, and paragraph visuals, but not for exact typographic layouts, brand-constrained assets, or editable source files.
