Practice-oriented
- Talk less about "what it is", focus more on "how to use it", "what pitfalls I encountered", "what scenarios it's suitable for"
- Use real cases and scenarios to illustrate points
- Must include real usage scenarios: Don't pile up data or list parameters, instead demonstrate value with "what I actually used it for"
- Show specific usage processes and results, including both successful and failed cases
-
Cover image is mandatory
- Every article must have a theme cover image generated
- Use Simplified Chinese for text on the image
- Adopt a left-right split layout (text on the left, visual elements on the right)

⚠️ Important: Notes on preventing errors when calling the Gemini API
When calling the Gemini image generation API, pay attention to the following items, otherwise generation will fail:
-
Proxy setting issue (most common)
- Problem: Google Genai SDK does not support the proxy protocol
- Error message:
Unknown scheme for proxy URL URL('socks5h://...')
- Solution: Clear the environment variable before the command
bash
# ❌ Wrong: Will cause error
python scripts/generate_image.py --prompt "..." --api gemini --output cover.png
# ✅ Correct: Clear ALL_PROXY
ALL_PROXY="" all_proxy="" python scripts/generate_image.py --prompt "..." --api gemini --output cover.png
-
Image format issue
- Gemini API returns JPEG format (not PNG)
- The script will automatically handle base64 decoding and binary saving correctly
- The output file extension can be , but the actual content is JPEG
-
API key configuration
- Ensure the or environment variable is set
- Missing key will cause error: "Please set the environment variable GEMINI_API_KEY or GOOGLE_API_KEY"
-
Prompt length limit
- Gemini API has a limit on prompt length
- If the prompt is too long, the API may return an error
- It is recommended to keep the prompt within 2000 characters
Generation command:
bash
cd /root/.claude/skills/wechat-product-manager-writer
# ✅ Correct calling method (must clear ALL_PROXY)
ALL_PROXY="" all_proxy="" python scripts/generate_image.py \
--prompt "A cover image for WeChat article about [Topic], [Color scheme] gradient. Layout: Split into two distinct zones (left 40%, right 60%). Left zone: title '[Title]' in Chinese, subtitle '[Subtitle]' in Chinese, text aligned left. Right zone: [Visual elements], visual elements should not overlap with text zone. Modern tech style, clean design, 2.35:1 aspect ratio" \
--api gemini \
--output cover.png
The same applies when generating content structure diagrams (must clear ALL_PROXY):
bash
# ✅ Content structure diagram generation
ALL_PROXY="" all_proxy="" python scripts/generate_image.py \
--prompt "Create a hand-drawn sketch visual summary..." \
--api gemini \
--output structure.png
Detailed guide: See references/cover-image-guide.md
Step 7: Generate Content Structure Diagram (Mandatory)
Every article must have a content structure diagram/infographic generated, placed at the beginning of the article (after the cover image), used to display the overall structure and core points of the article.
⚠️ Important: Notes on preventing errors when calling the Gemini API
When generating the content structure diagram, pay attention to the proxy setting issue as well (see detailed instructions in Step 6):
bash
# ✅ Correct calling method (must clear ALL_PROXY)
ALL_PROXY="" all_proxy="" python scripts/generate_image.py \
--prompt "..." \
--api gemini \
--output structure.png
Style description:
- Graphic Recording / Visual Thinking style
- Hand-drawn sketch effect, clear white paper background
- Black fine-tip pen outline + colored markers (cyan, orange, soft red) for coloring
- Radial layout, connect ideas with arrows
- 16:9 aspect ratio
Generation command:
bash
cd /root/.claude/skills/wechat-product-manager-writer
# ✅ Correct calling method (must clear ALL_PROXY)
ALL_PROXY="" all_proxy="" python scripts/generate_image.py \
--prompt "Create a hand-drawn sketch visual summary of these notes about [Article topic and core points]. Use a clean white paper background (no lines). Art style should be 'graphic recording' or 'visual thinking', using black fine-tip pen for clear outlines and text. Use colored markers (especially cyan, orange, and soft red) for simple coloring and emphasis. Place main title '[Article Title]' centered in a 3D-style rectangular box. Surround the title with radially distributed simple doodles, business icons, stick figures, and diagrams to explain concepts. Connect ideas with arrows. Text should be clear, hand-written uppercase block letters. Layout should be 16:9." \
--api gemini \
--output structure.png
Content key points extraction:
Before generating the structure diagram, first extract from the article:
- Core topic of the article (1 sentence)
- 3-5 main viewpoints/key points
- Key concepts and their relationships
- Core conclusions or action suggestions
Integrate these key points into the prompt to ensure the structure diagram accurately reflects the article content.

Notes
✅ Should Do
- Write in your own words, have personal style
- Dare to express opinions, but provide reasons
- Use more specific cases and scenarios
- Acknowledge your own limitations and shortcomings
- Provide readers with actual actionable suggestions
❌ Should Not Do
- Don't write it as an official document or press release
- Don't pile up feature lists and data (cold data like "6 million cost" "2 months development" has no value)
- Don't talk about viewpoints without case support
- Don't use too many professional terms (explain if used)
- Don't write about things you don't understand
- Most importantly: Don't write product analysis without real usage scenarios
⚠️ Case Usage Specifications (Important!)
Absolutely not allowed case types:
- Marketing gimmick cases: Such as "$1000/month startup project", "get rich overnight" etc.
- Exaggerated comparison cases: Such as "Work that takes a team a year, AI finishes it in an hour"——even if sourced, this kind of comparison makes readers feel fake
- Unverifiable cases: If you can't find the original link/source, better not use it
- Second-hand retold cases: Media retelling often exaggerates and distorts, prioritize original sources
Recommended case types:
- First-hand developer sharing: Such as "Boris Cherny said he generated 259 PRs with Claude Code"——has specific numbers, said by the person involved
- Official data: Data from changelogs, official blogs, product documents
- Verifiable tweets/posts: Can provide links
- Own real experiences: This is the most credible
Case usage principles:
- Better use plain descriptions than exaggerated cases
- If a case sounds "too good to be true", readers will probably think the same
- When citing others' cases, ask yourself: Does this have an original link? Dare I put the link out?
- Better describe the function itself than use a suspicious "shocking" case
⚠️ Content Structure Specifications
Avoid repetition:
- Don't repeat the same viewpoint or technical point in different chapters of the article
- If a concept has been explained earlier, don't expand on it later
- After writing, check: Is there any passage that says something similar elsewhere?
Remember
The core of this official account is: Real sharing from an AI product manager.
- Not an encyclopedia, no need to cover everything
- Not an official document, must have personal perspective
- Not a marketing soft article, must have real value
When writing every article, ask yourself: If I were the reader, what would I gain after reading this?
