WeChat Article Converter
Overview
Convert Markdown articles to WeChat Official Account (微信公众号) compatible HTML format with themed styling and inline CSS. This skill handles the entire conversion process automatically using the md_to_wechat.py script.
Core capability: Transform standard Markdown → WeChat-compatible HTML with professional styling.
Workflow
Step 1: Identify User Request
Trigger this skill when user asks for:
- Converting Markdown to WeChat format
- "转换为微信公众号格式"
- "生成微信文章"
- "公众号排版"
- Applying WeChat styling to articles
Step 2: Gather Required Information
Required:
- Input Markdown file path (from user request or current directory)
ALWAYS Ask User for Theme Selection:
Use AskUserQuestion tool to present theme options to the user interactively.
Present these 4 theme options:
| Option | Theme Name | Best For |
|---|
| default | 专业蓝色 | 技术文章、教程、通用内容 |
| orange | 活力橙 | 运动、美食、娱乐、促销活动 |
| grid | 格子主题 | 带序号徽章、动画效果,支持清新绿/大气蓝/活力橙配色 |
| aurora | 极光靛紫 | AI 前沿、产品发布、创新趋势类内容 |
Exception: Skip theme selection if user explicitly specifies theme in request.
Important: If user selects "grid" theme, ask for color preference:
- 清新绿 (green) - #52c41a,适合生活方式、健康、环保
- 大气蓝 (blue) - #007AFF,适合科技、商务、专业内容
- 活力橙 (orange) - #e67e22,适合促销、美食、活泼内容
Additional Options (ask if needed):
- Article title for WeChat header (default: none)
- Include WeChat header/footer (default: yes)
Step 3: Execute Conversion
Important: Always use the absolute path to the skill script and run it inside a Python virtual environment (venv):
python3 <skill-path>/haizei-wechat-article-convert/scripts/md_to_wechat.py <input.md> [output.html] [options]
ALWAYS use --preview flag to open browser with copy button:
-
Basic conversion with browser preview (RECOMMENDED):
python3 <skill-path>/haizei-wechat-article-convert/scripts/md_to_wechat.py input.md --theme <selected-theme> --preview
-
With title and browser preview:
python3 <skill-path>/haizei-wechat-article-convert/scripts/md_to_wechat.py input.md --theme <theme> --title "<article-title>" --preview
-
Content only (no WeChat elements) with preview:
python3 <skill-path>/haizei-wechat-article-convert/scripts/md_to_wechat.py input.md --theme <theme> --no-header-footer --preview
Note: The --preview flag will automatically open a browser page with:
- Article preview
- "复制 HTML 代码" button to copy the HTML
- Instructions for pasting into WeChat editor
- Visual preview of the styled article
Step 4: Present Results to User
Always:
- Confirm conversion completed successfully
- Show which theme was used
- Show output file location
- Display a preview of the generated HTML (first ~30 lines)
- Remind user they can copy-paste the HTML into WeChat editor

Dependencies
The script requires:
markdown>=3.5.0 - Markdown parsing
beautifulsoup4>=4.12.0 - HTML processing
pygments>=2.16.0 - Code syntax highlighting
Always run the scripts inside a Python virtual environment (venv). Do NOT install dependencies into the system Python.
Setup virtual environment (first time only):
cd <skill-path>/haizei-wechat-article-convert/scripts
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
Run scripts with the virtual environment's Python:
.venv/bin/python md_to_wechat.py input.md --theme <theme> --preview
If the venv does not exist, create it first before running any script. If dependencies are missing inside the venv, install them with:
<skill-path>/haizei-wechat-article-convert/scripts/.venv/bin/pip install -r <skill-path>/haizei-wechat-article-convert/scripts/requirements.txt
Troubleshooting
Issue: Dependencies not found
Solution: Create/activate the virtual environment and install: .venv/bin/pip install -r requirements.txt
Issue: Script not found
Solution: Use absolute path to the skill: <skill-path>/haizei-wechat-article-convert/scripts/md_to_wechat.py
Issue: WeChat styles not appearing
Solution: Ensure user copies the entire HTML content including inline styles
