What is Xiaohu WeChat Format?
Xiaohu WeChat Format is an essential tool within the Openclaw Skills ecosystem designed for content creators and marketers managing WeChat Official Accounts. It solves the notorious difficulty of maintaining consistent styling on WeChat by converting standard Markdown into WeChat-compatible inline-styled HTML.
By leveraging this skill, developers and editors can bypass the manual WeChat editor, choosing from 33 professionally designed themes. It handles the technical heavy lifting, including automatic image conversion to meet WeChat's strict API requirements and direct pushing to the draft box, ensuring a seamless bridge between local Markdown files and the WeChat ecosystem.
Xiaohu WeChat Format Use Cases
- Converting rough Markdown notes into polished WeChat articles with specific visual themes.
- Mass-uploading images to the WeChat CDN and automatically updating references in the HTML.
- Previewing article layouts across multiple themes using the built-in visual gallery.
- Automating the creation of WeChat drafts including cover image generation and metadata handling.
- Re-formatting and importing existing WeChat articles for updated republishing.
How Xiaohu WeChat Format Works
- Markdown Processing: The skill parses your Markdown file, supporting standard syntax and custom extensions like dialogue blocks and galleries.
- Theming: It applies one of 33 JSON-based themes, injecting CSS directly as inline styles for compatibility with the WeChat renderer.
- Media Handling: Local or external images are processed; the skill detects real file types via magic bytes and converts incompatible formats (like WebP) to JPEG.
- CDN Upload: Images are uploaded to the WeChat CDN, and article links are replaced with permanent WeChat URLs.
- Draft Publishing: The final HTML, along with the cover image and author metadata, is pushed to the WeChat Official Account draft box via the API.
