What it does
WeChat covers get cropped twice. The full 2.35:1 banner shows at the top of an article, but when it is shared to Moments or a chat only the central square is kept, about 42.6% of the width. On the recommended 1175 by 500 canvas that is the 500 pixels from x 337 to 837. The skill therefore places the core headline phrase in that center zone, leaves the wings for background, decoration, account name or date, and warns against layouts that split content left and right.
Defaults are one 1175 by 500 PNG, one headline of 6 to 14 Chinese characters over at most two lines, and an optional short label of up to 8 characters. Three safe-zone strategies are offered: all centered, core words centered (the default) and image-text separation, which the agent flags because the shared version would carry no text. The look follows a light AI-product infographic system with pale lavender or white backgrounds, ink-black titles, purple and lime accents and rounded cards. It generates with Codex's built-in image_gen and ships scripts/check_cover.py for the safe-zone check. The SKILL.md is written in Chinese.
When your agent uses it
- Making a 2.35:1 cover image for a WeChat official account article
- Producing several cover variants for one article
- Checking that a headline survives the square crop when shared to Moments
- Choosing a headline and layout for an article's first image
Example prompts
- “Make a WeChat cover for my article on prompt engineering basics, with the headline centered.”
- “Generate three cover options for this post and mark which words sit in the share-safe zone.”
- “Check whether the title on cover.png survives the 1:1 crop.”
Requirements
- Codex with its built-in image_gen tool
- Python, for the bundled scripts/check_cover.py check

What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit edf46c5. 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 no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
WeChat Article Cover Maker loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs, and up to ~4.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 56 tokens; SKILL.md has 334 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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 334 words (~1,549 tokens).
