wjs-tweeting-from-articles

Original：🇨🇳 Chinese

Translated

4 scripts

Use this when the user wants to post a daily X/Twitter tweet inspired by one of their recently published WeChat Official Account articles. It selects the newest article that hasn't been tweeted yet, drafts 3 tweet candidates from it (from different angles — quote / metaphor / one-liner), posts the selected one via xurl, and records the action to history. Triggers — "Post a daily tweet", "Tweet from an article", "Today's tweet", "/wjs-tweeting-from-articles".

wjs-tweeting-from-articles

One daily X tweet, with inspiration directly extracted from recently published WeChat Official Account articles. The article is the source, and the tweet is a more concise distillation.

Core Principle

The article has already gone through Wang Jianshuo-style refinement; the tweet is just an even shorter version. Do not re-conceptualize — directly extract the most quotable sentence/paragraph from article.md and adapt it to X's rhythm.

Maximum one tweet per day, one tweet per article. The state file

state/history.jsonl

records which articles have been tweeted; no repetition.

Post immediately, no draft. After user confirmation, send via

xurl POST

immediately. If it fails, dump the original content to the user for retry.

When This Skill Fires

User says "Today's tweet" / "Post an X tweet" / "Tweet from an article"
User runs
```
/wjs-tweeting-from-articles
```

User sets up

/schedule daily /wjs-tweeting-from-articles

for automatic daily execution

When NOT to use

The content the user wants to post is unrelated to recent WeChat Official Account articles — directly use
```
xurl POST /2/tweets
```
The user wants to promote a product/skill — use
```
/publish-skill
```
or
```
/wjs-promoting-skills
```

Workflow

Step 1: Select today's article to tweet

bash

scripts/pick-next-article.sh

Outputs the folder path of the latest article that hasn't been tweeted yet (within the last week, find the first untweeted one in reverse chronological order). If all have been tweeted → exit with code 0, empty output, and inform the user "All articles from the last 7 days have been tweeted, today is a rest day".

If the user wants to tweet a specific article: skip this script and directly use

<folder>

.

Step 2: Read article + draft 3 tweet candidates

Read

<folder>/article.md

, draft one candidate from each of the following three angles:

Angle	Content Selection	Example
A · Quote	Pick the most quotable sentence from the article, can add a lead-in	"When your pen tip goes blunt and can't write sharply — dip it in ink, twist it twice on the inkstone, and it regains its sharpness."
B · Metaphor	The core metaphor of the article + a sentence that connects it to the reader	"Writing prompts is like painting — it's a matter of muscle memory. You have to write a little every day."
C · Contrast	Cognitive flip in the form of "It's not X, it's Y"	"It's not about getting smarter, it's about getting into the groove."

Hard length constraint: Tweet ≤ 280 characters (X's limit; each Chinese character counts as 2) — so actual Chinese tweets ≤ 140 characters. Keeping it within 120 characters is safer for buffer.

Style: Retain Wang Jianshuo's tone — plain, down-to-earth metaphors, no marketing jargon. Do not add hashtags, @ mentions, or emojis (unless present in the original text). Do not add mp.weixin links (by default); if the user asks about adding links, suggest attaching them in a reply.

Step 3: Let the user select one

Use

AskUserQuestion

to present the three A/B/C candidates plus a "Fourth option: other". After the user selects one, proceed to Step 4.

Step 4: Post to X for real

bash

TWEET_TEXT='<picked text>'
JSON=$(jq -nc --arg text "$TWEET_TEXT" '{text:$text}')
resp=$(xurl -X POST -d "$JSON" /2/tweets)
# Don't use `jq -r '.data.id'` here — X API returns raw newlines in the echoed
# `text` field, which strict jq rejects with "control characters must be escaped".
# Grep the id directly instead.
TWEET_ID=$(printf '%s' "$resp" | grep -oE '"id":"[0-9]+"' | head -1 | sed -E 's/.*"([0-9]+)".*/\1/')
[[ -n "$TWEET_ID" ]] || { echo "POST failed: $resp"; exit 1; }
echo "https://x.com/jianshuo/status/$TWEET_ID"

If successful → get the tweet_id + URL and inform the user.

Step 5: Record to history

bash

HIST="$HOME/.claude/skills/wjs-tweeting-from-articles/state/history.jsonl"
SLUG=$(basename "$FOLDER")
jq -nc --arg date "$(date +%F)" --arg slug "$SLUG" --arg angle "$ANGLE" \
       --arg tweet_id "$TWEET_ID" --arg text "$TWEET_TEXT" \
       '{date:$date,slug:$slug,angle:$angle,tweet_id:$tweet_id,text:$text,status:"posted"}' \
  >> "$HIST"

angle

∈

/

other

.

Step 6: Wrap up

Inform the user:

Tweet URL
Which article (slug)
Which angle was used
Today's history entry has been written

Inputs

/wjs-tweeting-from-articles                       # Automatically select the latest untweeted article
/wjs-tweeting-from-articles <article-folder>      # Explicitly specify an article
/wjs-tweeting-from-articles --dry-run             # Draft only, no posting

File Layout

~/.claude/skills/wjs-tweeting-from-articles/

    ├── .gitignore              # Exclude history.jsonl from public repo
    └── history.jsonl           # One JSON record per tweet, line-separated

Daily Automation (Optional)

To run automatically every day:

bash

/schedule daily 09:00 /wjs-tweeting-from-articles

Or use cron. But by default, do not run automatically — manually confirming which angle to choose each day is more reliable.

Anti-Patterns

Do Not	Reason
Add hashtags (#AI #prompt)	Wang Jianshuo's X style doesn't use hashtags; adding them makes it sound like marketing
Tweet twice from the same article	One tweet per article; if the article is particularly long/multi-core, delete one entry from history and retweet next time
Include mp.weixin links in the tweet	Do not include by default; if you want to add it, put it in a reply
Post all 3 candidates	The user selects 1; if no selection is made, skip today
Create a tweet from scratch that's not in the article	Inspiration must be extracted from article.md; the value of this skill is that "the article is the source"
Let LLM rewrite the original text in its own style for "refinement"	Wang Jianshuo's original text is already concise enough; direct extraction is better than rewriting
