36 scripts

Posts content to WeChat Official Account (微信公众号) via API or Chrome CDP. Supports article posting (文章) with HTML, markdown, or plain text input, and image-text posting (贴图, formerly 图文) with multiple images. Markdown article workflows default to converting ordinary external links into bottom citations for WeChat-friendly output. Use when user mentions "发布公众号", "post to wechat", "微信公众号", or "贴图/图文/文章".

Multi-Account Support

EXTEND.md supports managing multiple WeChat Official Accounts. When

accounts:

block is present, each account can have its own credentials, Chrome profile, and default settings.

Compatibility rules:

Condition	Mode	Behavior
No `accounts` block	Single-account	Current behavior, unchanged
`accounts` with 1 entry	Single-account	Auto-select, no prompt
`accounts` with 2+ entries	Multi-account	Prompt to select before publishing
`accounts` with `default: true`	Multi-account	Pre-select default, user can switch

Multi-account EXTEND.md example:

default_theme: default
default_color: blue

accounts:
  - name: 宝玉的技术分享
    alias: baoyu
    default: true
    default_publish_method: api
    default_author: 宝玉
    need_open_comment: 1
    only_fans_can_comment: 0
    app_id: your_wechat_app_id
    app_secret: your_wechat_app_secret
  - name: AI工具集
    alias: ai-tools
    default_publish_method: browser
    default_author: AI工具集
    need_open_comment: 1
    only_fans_can_comment: 0

Per-account keys (can be set per-account or globally as fallback):

default_publish_method

default_author

need_open_comment

only_fans_can_comment

app_id

app_secret

chrome_profile_path

Global-only keys (always shared across accounts):

default_theme

default_color

Account Selection (Step 0.5)

Insert between Step 0 and Step 1 in the Article Posting Workflow:

if no accounts block:
    → single-account mode (current behavior)
elif accounts.length == 1:
    → auto-select the only account
elif --account <alias> CLI arg:
    → select matching account
elif one account has default: true:
    → pre-select, show: "Using account: <name> (--account to switch)"
else:
    → prompt user:
      "Multiple WeChat accounts configured:
       1) <name1> (<alias1>)
       2) <name2> (<alias2>)
       Select account [1-N]:"

Credential Resolution (API Method)

For a selected account with alias

{alias}

```
app_id
```
/
```
app_secret
```
inline in EXTEND.md account block
Env var
```
WECHAT_{ALIAS}_APP_ID
```
/
```
WECHAT_{ALIAS}_APP_SECRET
```
(alias uppercased, hyphens → underscores)
```
.baoyu-skills/.env
```
with prefixed key
```
WECHAT_{ALIAS}_APP_ID
```
```
~/.baoyu-skills/.env
```
with prefixed key
Fallback to unprefixed
```
WECHAT_APP_ID
```
/
```
WECHAT_APP_SECRET
```

.env multi-account example:

bash

# Account: baoyu
WECHAT_BAOYU_APP_ID=your_wechat_app_id
WECHAT_BAOYU_APP_SECRET=your_wechat_app_secret

# Account: ai-tools
WECHAT_AI_TOOLS_APP_ID=your_ai_tools_wechat_app_id
WECHAT_AI_TOOLS_APP_SECRET=your_ai_tools_wechat_app_secret

Chrome Profile (Browser Method)

Each account uses an isolated Chrome profile for independent login sessions:

Source	Path
Account `chrome_profile_path` in EXTEND.md	Use as-is
Auto-generated from alias	`{shared_profile_parent}/wechat-{alias}/`
Single-account fallback	Shared default profile (current behavior)

CLI

--account

Argument

All publishing scripts accept

--account <alias>

bash

${BUN_X} {baseDir}/scripts/wechat-api.ts <file> --theme default --account ai-tools
${BUN_X} {baseDir}/scripts/wechat-article.ts --markdown <file> --theme default --account baoyu
${BUN_X} {baseDir}/scripts/wechat-browser.ts --markdown <file> --images ./photos/ --account baoyu

Pre-flight Check (Optional)

Before first use, suggest running the environment check. User can skip if they prefer.

bash

${BUN_X} {baseDir}/scripts/check-permissions.ts

Checks: Chrome, profile isolation, Bun, Accessibility, clipboard, paste keystroke, API credentials, Chrome conflicts.

If any check fails, provide fix guidance per item:

Check	Fix
Chrome	Install Chrome or set `WECHAT_BROWSER_CHROME_PATH` env var
Profile dir	Shared profile at `baoyu-skills/chrome-profile` (see CLAUDE.md Chrome Profile section)
Bun runtime	`brew install oven-sh/bun/bun` (macOS) or `npm install -g bun`
Accessibility (macOS)	System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility → enable terminal app
Clipboard copy	Ensure Swift/AppKit available (macOS Xcode CLI tools: `xcode-select --install` )
Paste keystroke (macOS)	Same as Accessibility fix above
Paste keystroke (Linux)	Install `xdotool` (X11) or `ydotool` (Wayland)
API credentials	Follow guided setup in Step 2, or manually set in `.baoyu-skills/.env`

Image-Text Posting (图文)

For short posts with multiple images (up to 9):

bash

${BUN_X} {baseDir}/scripts/wechat-browser.ts --markdown article.md --images ./images/
${BUN_X} {baseDir}/scripts/wechat-browser.ts --title "标题" --content "内容" --image img.png --submit

See references/image-text-posting.md for details.

Article Posting Workflow (文章)

Copy this checklist and check off items as you complete them:

Publishing Progress:
- [ ] Step 0: Load preferences (EXTEND.md)
- [ ] Step 0.5: Resolve account (multi-account only)
- [ ] Step 1: Determine input type
- [ ] Step 2: Select method and configure credentials
- [ ] Step 3: Resolve theme/color and validate metadata
- [ ] Step 4: Publish to WeChat
- [ ] Step 5: Report completion

Step 0: Load Preferences

Check and load EXTEND.md settings (see Preferences section above).

CRITICAL: If not found, complete first-time setup BEFORE any other steps or questions.

Resolve and store these defaults for later steps:

```
default_theme
```
(default
```
default
```
)
```
default_color
```
(omit if not set — theme default applies)
```
default_author
```
```
need_open_comment
```
(default
```
1
```
)
```
only_fans_can_comment
```
(default
```
0
```
)

Step 1: Determine Input Type

Input Type	Detection	Action
HTML file	Path ends with `.html` , file exists	Skip to Step 3
Markdown file	Path ends with `.md` , file exists	Continue to Step 2
Plain text	Not a file path, or file doesn't exist	Save to markdown, continue to Step 2

Plain Text Handling:

Generate slug from content (first 2-4 meaningful words, kebab-case)
Create directory and save file:

bash

mkdir -p "$(pwd)/post-to-wechat/$(date +%Y-%m-%d)"
# Save content to: post-to-wechat/yyyy-MM-dd/[slug].md

Continue processing as markdown file

Slug Examples:

"Understanding AI Models" →
```
understanding-ai-models
```
"人工智能的未来" →
```
ai-future
```
(translate to English for slug)

Step 2: Select Publishing Method and Configure

Ask publishing method (unless specified in EXTEND.md or CLI):

Method	Speed	Requirements
`api` (Recommended)	Fast	API credentials
`browser`	Slow	Chrome, login session

If API Selected - Check Credentials:

bash

# macOS, Linux, WSL, Git Bash
test -f .baoyu-skills/.env && grep -q "WECHAT_APP_ID" .baoyu-skills/.env && echo "project"
test -f "$HOME/.baoyu-skills/.env" && grep -q "WECHAT_APP_ID" "$HOME/.baoyu-skills/.env" && echo "user"

powershell

# PowerShell (Windows)
if ((Test-Path .baoyu-skills/.env) -and (Select-String -Quiet -Pattern "WECHAT_APP_ID" .baoyu-skills/.env)) { "project" }
if ((Test-Path "$HOME/.baoyu-skills/.env") -and (Select-String -Quiet -Pattern "WECHAT_APP_ID" "$HOME/.baoyu-skills/.env")) { "user" }

If Credentials Missing - Guide Setup:

WeChat API credentials not found.

To obtain credentials:
1. Visit https://mp.weixin.qq.com
2. Go to: 开发 → 基本配置
3. Copy AppID and AppSecret

Where to save?
A) Project-level: .baoyu-skills/.env (this project only)
B) User-level: ~/.baoyu-skills/.env (all projects)

After location choice, prompt for values and write to

.env

WECHAT_APP_ID=<user_input>
WECHAT_APP_SECRET=<user_input>

Step 3: Resolve Theme/Color and Validate Metadata

Resolve theme (first match wins, do NOT ask user if resolved):
- CLI
```
--theme
```
  argument
- EXTEND.md
```
default_theme
```
  (loaded in Step 0)
- Fallback:
```
default
```
Resolve color (first match wins):
- CLI
```
--color
```
  argument
- EXTEND.md
```
default_color
```
  (loaded in Step 0)
- Omit if not set (theme default applies)
Validate metadata from frontmatter (markdown) or HTML meta tags (HTML input):

Field	If Missing
Title	Prompt: "Enter title, or press Enter to auto-generate from content"
Summary	Prompt: "Enter summary, or press Enter to auto-generate (recommended for SEO)"
Author	Use fallback chain: CLI `--author` → frontmatter `author` → EXTEND.md `default_author`

Auto-Generation Logic:

Title: First H1/H2 heading, or first sentence
Summary: First paragraph, truncated to 120 characters

Cover Image Check (required for API
```
article_type=news
```
):
1. Use CLI
```
--cover
```
  if provided.
2. Else use frontmatter (
```
coverImage
```
  ,
```
featureImage
```
  ,
```
cover
```
  ,
```
image
```
  ).
3. Else check article directory default path:
```
imgs/cover.png
```
  .
4. Else fallback to first inline content image.
5. If still missing, stop and request a cover image before publishing.

Step 4: Publish to WeChat

CRITICAL: Publishing scripts handle markdown conversion internally. Do NOT pre-convert markdown to HTML — pass the original markdown file directly. This ensures the API method renders images as

<img>

tags (for API upload) while the browser method uses placeholders (for paste-and-replace workflow).

Markdown citation default:

For markdown input, ordinary external links are converted to bottom citations by default.
Use
```
--no-cite
```
only if the user explicitly wants to keep ordinary external links inline.
Existing HTML input is left as-is; no extra citation conversion is applied.

API method (accepts

.md

.html

bash

${BUN_X} {baseDir}/scripts/wechat-api.ts <file> --theme <theme> [--color <color>] [--title <title>] [--summary <summary>] [--author <author>] [--cover <cover_path>] [--no-cite]

CRITICAL: Always include

--theme

parameter. Never omit it, even if using

default

. Only include

--color

if explicitly set by user or EXTEND.md.

draft/add
payload rules:

Use endpoint:

POST https://api.weixin.qq.com/cgi-bin/draft/add?access_token=ACCESS_TOKEN

```
article_type
```
:
```
news
```
(default) or
```
newspic
```
For
```
news
```
, include
```
thumb_media_id
```
(cover is required)
Always resolve and send:
- ```
need_open_comment
```
  (default
```
1
```
  )
- ```
only_fans_can_comment
```
  (default
```
0
```
  )
```
author
```
resolution: CLI
```
--author
```
→ frontmatter
```
author
```
→ EXTEND.md
```
default_author
```

If script parameters do not expose the two comment fields, still ensure final API request body includes resolved values.

Browser method (accepts

--markdown

--html

bash

${BUN_X} {baseDir}/scripts/wechat-article.ts --markdown <markdown_file> --theme <theme> [--color <color>] [--no-cite]
${BUN_X} {baseDir}/scripts/wechat-article.ts --html <html_file>

Step 5: Completion Report

For API method, include draft management link:

WeChat Publishing Complete!

Input: [type] - [path]
Method: API
Theme: [theme name] [color if set]

Article:
• Title: [title]
• Summary: [summary]
• Images: [N] inline images
• Comments: [open/closed], [fans-only/all users]

Result:
✓ Draft saved to WeChat Official Account
• media_id: [media_id]

Next Steps:
→ Manage drafts: https://mp.weixin.qq.com (登录后进入「内容管理」→「草稿箱」)

Files created:
[• post-to-wechat/yyyy-MM-dd/slug.md (if plain text)]
[• slug.html (converted)]

For Browser method:

WeChat Publishing Complete!

Input: [type] - [path]
Method: Browser
Theme: [theme name] [color if set]

Article:
• Title: [title]
• Summary: [summary]
• Images: [N] inline images
