<working-directory>/posts/
└── YYYYMMDD-<slug>/ # e.g., 20260206-opus46
├── cover.html # HTML source file (retain for fine-tuning and re-screenshotting)
├── cover.png # Screenshot output
├── features.html
├── features.png
├── ...
└── content.md # Copy + tags + publication metadata
- Date: Publication/creation date
- slug: 2-4 word English identifier (e.g., , , )
content.md Format:

Workflow Integration:
- Step 4 (Generate Images): Save both HTML and PNG to this directory
- Step 5 (Write Copy): Save content.md to this directory
- Step 6 (Publish): Read content from content.md, use absolute paths for images in this directory
- Step 7 (Verify): Fill feed_id back into content.md
Complete Workflow
Step 1: Understand Requirements
Confirm the user's topic and existing materials (articles, changelogs, product information, etc.). Determine content domain: Tech/Beauty/Fashion/Food/Travel/Life/Workplace/Maternity/Fitness/Home.
Step 2: Competitor Research + Database Entry (Mandatory)
The goal of this step: Extract title types, image styles, high-frequency tags, success factors from competitor data to directly guide subsequent creation.
2.1 Check Local Database
bash
python3 ~/.claude/skills/xiaohongshu/scripts/feed_database.py list --domain [domain] # Execute in working directory
- ≥5 entries in the same domain → Read , jump to 2.4
- Fewer than 5 entries → Proceed to 2.2 to supplement collection from Xiaohongshu
2.2 Search + Collection
mcp__xiaohongshu-mcp__search_feeds(keyword="[topic keywords]", filters={"sort_by": "most likes"})
For the top 5-8 notes with the most likes in search results, get details:
mcp__xiaohongshu-mcp__get_feed_detail(feed_id, xsec_token)
2.3 Annotation + Database Entry
After extracting analysis dimensions for each high-like note, write to local database:
bash
python3 ~/.claude/skills/xiaohongshu/scripts/feed_database.py add '<json>' # Execute in working directory
See the "High-Like Note Database → Analyze and Annotate" section for the analysis JSON template.
Generate summary after collection:
bash
python3 ~/.claude/skills/xiaohongshu/scripts/feed_database.py analyze # Execute in working directory
2.4 Read Summary to Guide Creation
Read
and extract the following decision-making basis for subsequent steps:
| Decision Item | Extract from summary | Used in Step |
|---|
| Title Type | TOP 1 title type distribution | Step 5: Write Title |
| Image Style | TOP 1 image style distribution | Step 4: Generate Images |
| High-Frequency Tags | TOP 15 high-frequency tags | Step 3: Determine Tags |
| Success Factors | TOP 10 high-frequency success factors | Step 5: Write Main Text |
| Favorite/Like Ratio | Average interaction data | Judge content type (high favorites = dry content) |
Step 3: Determine Tags (8-10 tags)
Prioritize selecting from high-frequency tags in summary, then supplement with tag-database.md:
| Level | Quantity | Source |
|---|
| Large Tags (General Domain) | 1-2 | tag-database.md |
| Medium Tags (Domain-Related) | 3-4 | Summary high-frequency tags |
| Small Tags (Precise Long-Tail) | 2-3 | Summary high-frequency tags + competitor details |
| Emotional Tags | 1-2 | tag-database.md |
Step 4: Generate Images
Refer to the TOP 1 image style distribution in summary to determine the tone, then use UI/UX Pro Max Skill to obtain the design system.
Step 1: Call UI/UX Pro Max to Get Design System
Based on content topic, call the design system generator (67 styles, 96 color schemes, 57 font pairings automatically matched):
bash
python3 ~/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/ui-ux-pro-max-skill/src/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py \
"<content topic description, English>" \
--design-system \
-f markdown
Example:
bash
# Tech tools category
python3 ~/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/ui-ux-pro-max-skill/src/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py \
"developer tool AI coding assistant dark tech" --design-system -f markdown
# Beauty skincare category
python3 ~/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/ui-ux-pro-max-skill/src/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py \
"beauty skincare spa elegant feminine" --design-system -f markdown
# SaaS product category
python3 ~/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/ui-ux-pro-max-skill/src/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py \
"SaaS dashboard analytics modern" --design-system -f markdown
Design system output includes: UI styles, color schemes (5 colors), font pairings, key animations, anti-patterns, etc.
You can also search specific domains:
bash
# Search only styles
python3 ~/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/ui-ux-pro-max-skill/src/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py \
"glassmorphism" --domain style
# Search only color schemes
python3 ~/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/ui-ux-pro-max-skill/src/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py \
"tech startup" --domain color
# Search only fonts
python3 ~/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/ui-ux-pro-max-skill/src/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py \
"modern minimal" --domain typography
Step 2: Write HTML Based on Design System
After obtaining the design system, write HTML (1080x1440) strictly following its recommended styles, color schemes, fonts, animations.
⚠️ HTML Layout Specifications:
css
body {
width: 1080px;
/* ❌ Do not write height: 1440px + overflow: hidden, it will silently truncate content */
/* ✅ Let content naturally expand, and let the screenshot script crop it */
}
.container {
width: 1080px;
min-height: 1440px;
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
}
Cover Composition Principle — Top-Heavy:
In Xiaohongshu's feed, the bottom of the cover will be covered by title + author avatar mask (about 15% of the bottom). Follow the top-heavy principle in design composition:
- Upper 2/3: Core information (large title, numbers, main visual focus)
- Lower 1/3: Decorative/secondary elements, no impact on reading even if covered
- Content images (2nd to Nth images) are not subject to this restriction
Style Selection Strategy:
Use the style output by UI/UX Pro Max as the base, but adjust it to fit Xiaohongshu's visual habits:
- 30% probability: Use high information density layout (Bento Grid, Dashboard style), suitable for function summaries, tool recommendations, data comparison content. Such covers have high collection rates on Xiaohongshu.
- 70% probability: Use the style recommended by UI/UX Pro Max, but the cover must add visual elements such as cards/color blocks/icons, cannot only have large text + empty background.
If the style recommended by UI/UX Pro Max results in an overly simple cover, actively switch to Bento Grid or card grid layout to supplement visual hierarchy.
General Design Points:
- Cover image: Must have visual hierarchy (background + card + text), highlight numbers/keywords
- Content images: Card layout, each focuses on one topic
- Chinese font: Noto Sans SC (Google Fonts CDN), use the font recommended by the design system for English
- Size: Fixed 1080x1440
Step 3: Screenshot (with Overflow Detection)
Do not directly take a 1080x1440 screenshot, content overflow will be silently truncated. Use the following process:
bash
# 1. Screenshot with large viewport (capture complete content)
"/Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome" \
--headless=new --disable-gpu --no-sandbox \
--window-size=1080,2880 \
--screenshot=/tmp/xhh_raw.png \
input.html
# 2. Crop to 1080x1440 + overflow detection
python3 -c "
from PIL import Image
import numpy as np
img = Image.open('/tmp/xhh_raw.png')
arr = np.array(img)
# Detect if there is content below 1440px
bg = arr[-1, 0, :]
below = arr[1440:, :, :]
diff = np.abs(below.astype(int) - bg.astype(int))
if np.any(diff > 20, axis=2).any():
print('⚠️ Content overflows 1440px! Please reduce content or shrink element size')
else:
print('✅ Content does not overflow')
# Crop and save
img.crop((0, 0, 1080, 1440)).save('output.png')
print(f'Saved output.png (1080x1440)')
"
If overflow is detected, must modify HTML to reduce content before taking screenshot again, cannot ignore.
Option B: AI Image Generation (Optional)
Suitable for content that requires realism or artistic style such as life, beauty, grass-planting, emotion, etc.
First call UI/UX Pro Max to get color scheme and style direction, then pass to image generation script:
bash
python3 ~/.claude/skills/xiaohongshu/scripts/generate_image.py "{prompt}" --ratio 3:4 --num 1 --output ./images
Step 4.5: Cover Quality Check
The cover determines whether users click in, it must be visually rich, absolutely cannot only have large text + blank background.
Cover must meet (all required):
- Have a clear visual focus (large numbers, product screenshots, comparison charts)
- Have hierarchy (at least 3 layers: background + card/color block + text)
- Have color contrast (cannot be all the same tone)
- Moderate information density (not empty nor overloaded, can grasp key points within 1.5 seconds)
- Top-heavy composition (bottom 1/3 is decoration area, core information is in upper 2/3)
Cover Type Selection (Matching Content):
| Type | Suitable For | Structure |
|---|
| Digital Impact Type | Tools/Data/Summary | Oversized numbers + color tags + card grid |
| Before-After Comparison Type | Effect Display | Left/right or top/bottom split + Before/After |
| Product Screenshot Type | Software/App | Simulated screen screenshot + annotation arrows |
| Character + Text Type | Experience/Story | Avatar/illustration + large title |
| Card Grid Type | Multi-function/Resources | Bento Grid multi-color cards |
Step 5: Write Copy
Refer to the TOP 1 title type distribution in summary to select title formula, refer to high-frequency success factors to determine main text structure.
Title Formulas:
- Digital type:
[Number] [Topic] Regret not knowing earlier
(numbers have the strongest impact)
- Emotional type:
[Topic] is so [adjective]!
- Hot topic type:
[Event] Understand in one article
- Mixed type:
[Product] [Number] Version Update Summary | [Biggest Highlight]
⚠️ Must manually count characters after writing title to ensure ≤20 characters.
Main Text Specifications:
- Plain text, no Markdown syntax
- Use emoji to separate paragraphs, but do not overuse
- More line breaks, each paragraph no more than 3 lines
- Colloquial but professional, avoid pure AI tone
- Add personal tone ("I finished reading xxx", "Tested personally")
- ≤1000 characters, core dry content in images
- Must end with a question to guide interaction
Main Text Structure Template:
Personal narrative hook (1-2 sentences)
→ Core highlights by points (❶❷❸, each point includes function + user value)
→ Selected secondary functions (brief list)
→ Fixes/notes (if any)
→ Action guide (upgrade method/purchase link, etc.)
→ Interactive guide ending (question)
After writing copy, save to
in the post directory:
markdown
---
title: Title
date: 2026-02-06
status: draft
---
## Main Text
Copy content...
## Tags
tag1, tag2, tag3
Step 6: Publish
First confirm login status:
mcp__xiaohongshu-mcp__check_login_status()
Read content.md and images from post directory, publish:
mcp__xiaohongshu-mcp__publish_content(
title="Title",
content="Main text (excluding tags)",
images=["<post directory>/cover.png", "<post directory>/features.png", ...],
tags=["tag1", "tag2", ...]
)
After successful publication, update status in content.md to
.
Pre-Publish Checklist:
Supports scheduled publication (within 1 hour to 14 days):
schedule_at="2026-02-05T10:30:00+08:00"
Step 7: Verification
After publication, search to confirm note is visible:
mcp__xiaohongshu-mcp__search_feeds(keyword="title keywords", filters={"sort_by": "latest"})
After finding it, fill feed_id back into frontmatter of content.md:
yaml
status: published
feed_id: xxx
Note: New notes need a few minutes to be indexed, MCP cannot view content published by itself, it is recommended that users go to the App to confirm display effect.
High-Like Note Database
Maintain a local high-like note database, continuously accumulate competitor data to provide data-driven references for creation.
Database path:
<working-directory>/database/
(same level as
)
- — Original note data + analysis annotations
- — Automatically generated analysis summary
Collection Process
When users request "collect high-like notes" "update database" "analyze competitors", execute the following process:
1. Search Target Notes
mcp__xiaohongshu-mcp__search_feeds(keyword="[keywords]", filters={"sort_by": "most likes"})
2. Get High-Like Note Details
For notes with high likes in search results (recommended TOP 5-10), get details one by one:
mcp__xiaohongshu-mcp__get_feed_detail(feed_id, xsec_token)
3. Analyze and Annotate
Extract the following dimensions for each note:
json
{
"feed_id": "Note ID",
"title": "Title",
"author": "Author Nickname",
"author_id": "Author ID",
"content": "Full main text",
"likes": 157,
"favorites": 152,
"comments": 3,
"images_count": 14,
"domain": "Tech",
"keywords": ["Claude Code", "Update"],
"xsec_token": "token",
"analysis": {
"title_type": "digital|emotional|hot-topic|mixed",
"content_type": "image-stream|detailed-text|structured-long-text",
"image_style": "blog-long-image|tweet-screenshot|handwritten-note-card|document-card|dark-tech-card",
"hook": "digital-impact|personal-narrative|hot-topic-introduction|pain-point-question",
"cta": "question-guidance|action-call|emotional-resonance",
"tags_used": ["ClaudeCode", "AI Programming"],
"fav_like_ratio": 0.97,
"comment_like_ratio": 0.02,
"key_elements": ["Digital impact title", "14 images of dry content", "Personal usage experience"],
"notes": "Extremely high collection rate, images are dry content"
}
}
4. Write to Database
bash
python3 ~/.claude/skills/xiaohongshu/scripts/feed_database.py add '<json>' # Execute in working directory
5. Generate Analysis Summary
After collection, run analysis command to automatically generate
:
bash
python3 ~/.claude/skills/xiaohongshu/scripts/feed_database.py analyze # Execute in working directory
Database Command Reference
| Command | Description | Example |
|---|
| Add/update note (automatically updates for same feed_id) | add '{"feed_id":"abc","title":"..."}'
|
| List all notes (sorted by likes descending) | list --domain Tech --min-likes 50
|
| Get complete data for a single note | |
| Delete a note | |
| Generate analysis summary to summary.md | |
| Database statistics | |
This way, each creation will enrich the database, making analysis conclusions more accurate.
Tag Reference
Refer to the basic tag library in tag-database.md
Image Style
Image style is completely driven by UI/UX Pro Max Skill, no local style templates are maintained.
Database Scale:
- 67 UI styles (Glassmorphism, Bento Grid, Cyberpunk, Neubrutalism...)
- 96 industry color schemes
- 57 font pairings
- 100 industry reasoning rules (automatically match best style)
Call
search.py --design-system
every time generating images, it will automatically recommend style + color scheme + font + animation based on content topic to ensure different styles each time.
⚠️ Anti-Limitation Rules (Must Follow)
The following behaviors will cause notes to be limited, must check item by item before publication:
Absolutely Forbidden (Trigger Limitation Immediately)
| Forbidden Behavior | Description |
|---|
| Installation commands/code in main text | Installation commands, code snippets must be placed in comments section, write "See comments section" in main text |
| External links/URL in main text | Any http/https links, GitHub addresses cannot appear in main text |
| Full product function list | Cannot introduce product functions throughout the article, must have scenario narrative |
| Mention specific platforms for traffic diversion | Do not write "26K stars on GitHub", change to "Super popular open source project" |
| Absolute terms | "Most" "First" "Only" "100%", etc. |
Must Do (Improve Recommendation Probability)
| Rule | Description |
|---|
| Scene-based narrative opening | First talk about pain points/personal experience, then naturally introduce product |
| Must end with a question | Guide comment interaction, system decides whether to continue recommending based on interaction rate |
| Main text structure: 7-3 Principle | 70% personal experience/scenario description, 30% product introduction |
| Installation/links in comments section | Only guide "See comments section for installation method" in main text, send specific commands in comments |
| Concise cover with focus | Grasp key points within 1.5 seconds, no information overload |
| Search keyword layout | Title and main text contain words users will search for |
Must Do After Publication
- Search for note to get feed_id, use MCP to supplement guidance information in comments section
- Search for note to confirm visibility
- If not found, it may be limited, check the above rules
Comment Section Safety Rules
Comments will also be filtered, the following content will be swallowed (only visible to yourself):
| Will Be Swallowed | Safe Alternative |
|---|
| command format | "Search xxx to find it, install in two steps" |
| Any links | "Search xx keywords" |
| Complete installation path/code | Put in images, say "Look at the last image" in comments |
| "Private message" "Message me" "Add my WeChat" | "Look at my profile" or "Chat in comments section" |
| Homophonic/encrypted circumvention | Do not attempt, AI can recognize |
Safe Comment Writing Examples:
# Guide installation (colloquial, no command format)
For those who want to install: Open Claude Code, search ui-ux-pro-max-skill to find it, two steps done
# Guide to look at images
Installation method is in the last image, super simple
# Supplementary explanation (split into multiple natural comments)
Comment 1: Super simple to install, just search the plugin name
Comment 2: After installation, just say "Help me make a landing page" to use it
Comment Publication Process:
1. Search for note to get feed_id + xsec_token
mcp__xiaohongshu-mcp__search_feeds(keyword="title keywords", filters={"sort_by": "latest"})
2. Publish colloquial comments (no commands/links/sensitive words)
mcp__xiaohongshu-mcp__post_comment_to_feed(feed_id, xsec_token, content)
3. If there are multiple supplementary information, split into multiple natural comments and publish separately
Notes
- Do not use absolute terms such as "most" "first"
- Soft grass-planting, avoid hard advertising
- Must end with a question
- Recommended image ratio is 3:4 vertical (1080x1440)
- Avoid pure AI tone, add personal tone
- Transform function descriptions into user value (Bad: "Added pages parameter" → Good: "No need to load entire large PDF, saves tokens")
- The most common reason for publication failure: Title exceeds 20 characters
- Cannot edit/delete after publication via MCP, must confirm content before publication
