What is RedBookSkills (Post-to-xhs)?
RedBookSkills is an advanced automation toolkit designed for the Xiaohongshu (XHS) platform. It allows users to programmatically manage their social media presence by automating the publication of images and videos, checking login statuses, and performing complex content searches. By leveraging Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP), it provides a robust interface for both headless automation and manual browser intervention.
Beyond simple posting, this Openclaw Skills integration supports deep interaction workflows. Users can retrieve homepage recommendations, search for specific notes using keywords, extract detailed engagement metrics, and even automate comments or likes. It is an essential tool for creators and marketers looking to scale their operations on XHS while maintaining high-quality interaction patterns.
RedBookSkills (Post-to-xhs) Use Cases
- Automating the publication of marketing images and videos directly to Xiaohongshu from local directories or URLs.
- Monitoring account health by performing automated login checks and QR code retrieval for remote authentication.
- Conducting market research by scraping trending feeds and keyword-based search results.
- Scaling community management through automated commenting, responding to mentions, and post interactions like upvoting or bookmarking.
- Extracting performance data such as views, likes, and click-through rates into CSV format for analytics.
How RedBookSkills (Post-to-xhs) Works
- The user provides content inputs such as titles, body text, and media paths (local or URL).
- The skill validates the input, ensuring required elements (like images for photo posts) are present and titles meet platform character limits.
- A dedicated Chrome instance is launched via a launcher script, supporting either headless mode for background tasks or windowed mode for manual observation.
- For publishing, the script interacts with the XHS creator center using specific DOM selectors to upload media and input text.
- For interaction, it navigates to the XHS home or notification pages, capturing API responses or DOM data to return structured results like feed IDs or comment snippets.
- The lifecycle concludes with a success or failure report, providing key information back to the user.

python scripts/chrome_launcher.py
