What it does

Wechat Viral Topic is an agent skill from kangarooking/kangarooking-skills. Find WeChat public-account articles that break out above the account's average reads for account-growth topic selection. Use when the user asks to discover 公众号爆款, 微信低粉爆款, 平均阅读爆款, 起号选题, category-based WeChat hot articles, or article references filtered by monthreadavg rather than unstable followercount.

Its SKILL.md is about 910 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `references/categories.md` and `references/scoring.md`).

It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering Messaging and chat bots. It works with WeChat. The repository describes itself as: My custom AI Agent skills.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks to discover 公众号爆款
  • Category-based WeChat hot articles
  • Article references filtered by monthreadavg rather than unstable followercount

Example prompts

  • “/wechat-viral-topic”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • A credential in WECHAT_HOT_APP_SECRET
  • A credential in WECHAT_HOT_ACCESS_TOKEN

Workflow steps

8 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Select a platform category from references/categories.md.
  2. Fetch hot articles from /api/v2/hot/articles with category, read_num, published_at, and pagination.
  3. Extract __biz from each content_url.
  4. Enrich each account through /api/v2/accounts/detail, preferring biz over nickname.
  5. Filter for average-read breakout candidates
  6. Exclude institution/media accounts that are not useful new-account references, unless the user disables the default exclusion list.
  7. Rank by breakout_score, then by read_month_avg_ratio, then by read_num.
  8. Return JSON for automation or Markdown for human topic review.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 08bbee0. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python3

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • WECHAT_HOT_ACCESS_TOKEN
    • WECHAT_HOT_APP_SECRET

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Wechat Viral Topic loads about 914 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 81 tokens; SKILL.md has 319 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~81
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~914
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.7k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 319 words (~914 tokens).

“Use this skill to find WeChat public-account articles that are hot relative to the account's average reads. Do not use follower_count as the default low-fan signal because the account-detail follower value is unstable.”
