Designs Xiaohongshu and WeChat article covers around information density and a visual anchor, then writes a complete image prompt, color plan and critique.

  • Works in 5 steps: Identify the content type, audience,… → Pick one template from the matrix below. → Read the relevant reference file → …
  • Designing a Xiaohongshu cover that earns clicks at thumbnail size
  • SKILL.md covers 核心逻辑, Default Behavior, Operating Flow and 模板选择矩阵, plus 5 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

The skill is mostly in Chinese and starts from one idea: a cover has about three seconds to earn a click, and two things decide that, how clearly the benefit shows in the thumbnail and whether one spot makes the eye stop. The agent identifies the content type, audience, platform and existing title, then picks a template from a matrix: conflict, number, screenshot, emotion, doodle-outline fresh, or sunlit film collage with white outlines.

Each answer includes the template and the reason for it, the anchor position, a color scheme with HEX values, the weight hierarchy of main title, subtitle and corner tag, and a ready-to-use ChatGPT Image 2 prompt. By default the prompt describes a finished cover with the title text inside the image, not an HTML mockup or a text-free background, and it adds no author watermark. For an existing cover, the agent scores it with a diagnosis checklist and returns a replacement prompt. Separate reference files hold the style recipes, template measurements and prompt wording.

When your agent uses it

  • Designing a Xiaohongshu cover that earns clicks at thumbnail size
  • Creating a WeChat article cover or social title image
  • Diagnosing why an existing cover underperforms and redesigning it
  • Writing an image-generation prompt for a complete finished cover

Example prompts

  • “Design a Xiaohongshu cover for my post about five Notion templates for students.”
  • “Score this cover and give me a replacement prompt that raises click-through.”
  • “Make a sunlit scrapbook style travel vlog cover with a handwritten title.”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Identify the content type, audience, platform, and existing title.
  2. Pick one template from the matrix below.
  3. Read the relevant reference file
  4. Output a concise cover plan plus a ready-to-use image prompt.
  5. If the user provided an existing cover, score it and give a replacement prompt.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f03b7bc. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    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 no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

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

Context cost

Cover Anchor System loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~15k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 134 tokens; SKILL.md has 425 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~134
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~15k

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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 425 words (~1,126 tokens).
