Workflow

Step 1: Read the Brief

Obtain topic information from:

  1. Entries with status planned in content_calendar.json
  2. Topic description directly provided by the user

Extract key information:

  • Topic direction / title
  • Target audience
  • Writing style (if not specified, recommend based on topic content)
  • Reference material URLs

Step 2: Determine Writing Style

If user hasn't specified, recommend based on topic:

Topic CharacteristicsRecommended Style
Involves data, trends, underlying causesdeep-analysis
"How to", "tutorial", "steps"practical-guide
Involves people, experiences, insightsstory-driven
Involves controversy, hot topic commentaryopinion
Breaking events, quick informationnews-brief

Confirm the style choice with the user.

Step 3: Material Collection

Use content-planner's search script to collect reference materials:

node "$SKILLS_ROOT/content-planner/scripts/wechat_search.js" "topic keywords" -n 10

Also use web-search skill for additional materials.

Organize material list:

  • Citable data/statistics
  • Reference cases/stories
  • Facts that need verification

Step 4: Generate Outline

Generate an outline based on the selected style using the corresponding structure template.

Step 5: User Approval of Outline

This is a mandatory approval gate and cannot be skipped.

Present the outline to the user and ask for confirmation or modification requests.

Step 6: Write the Content

After approval, write content paragraph by paragraph following the outline.

Universal Writing Rules:

  1. Use stories instead of preaching

    • ❌ "风险管理很重要,应该做应急预案"
    • ✅ "去年,我的创业团队差点因为一个核心员工离职而崩溃,因为我们没有任何备选方案。"
  2. Use analogies and metaphors

    • ❌ "分布式系统很复杂"
    • ✅ "分布式系统就像连锁餐厅——每个分店需要协作,同时又要独立运营。"
  3. Support with data but don't pile it on

    • ❌ "据IDC报告,全球AI市场2023年增长45%,预计2025年达1000亿美元..."
    • ✅ "AI市场疯狂增长——每年翻一番。但在增长背后,真正赚钱的公司不到5家。"
  4. State opinions directly, avoid ambiguity

    • ❌ "有人认为...也有人认为...各有道理"
    • ✅ "说实话,我认为XX的做法是错的,因为..."
  5. Use short sentences and line breaks

Data integrity rules:

  • If specific data is needed but uncertain, mark [数据待确认] and confirm with user
  • Use search tools to verify key facts
  • Can tell fictional stories using "我见过..." or "一个朋友...", but don't fabricate data

Step 7: Formatting Optimization

WeChat Formatting Hard Rules:

  1. Paragraphs no more than 4 lines (mobile screen visible range)
  2. Insert a subheading or bold sentence every 3-4 paragraphs
  3. Must have a hook within the first 3 lines (question, data, story, counter-intuitive viewpoint)
  4. Must have a clear CTA at the end (follow/share/comment prompt)

Markdown Formatting Standards:

  • No first-line indentation, use blank lines to separate paragraphs
  • Maximum 2 heading levels (##), no deep nesting
  • Bold only the 1-2 most important words per paragraph
  • Use quotes for data, golden sentences, or important viewpoints
  • Lists maximum 5 items

Step 8: Output Draft

Save the article as Markdown:

Filename format: drafts/YYYYMMDD_[topic-slug].md

---
title: Article Title
date: YYYY-MM-DD
style: deep-analysis
summary: Article summary (within 100 words)
---

## Opening

Content...

Step 9: Quality Checklist

✅ Title — Sparks curiosity or resonance
✅ Opening — First 100 words are engaging
✅ Body — Has 2-3 clear viewpoints
✅ Cases — Uses stories not preaching
✅ Formatting — Easy to read (short paragraphs, bold, subheadings)
✅ Word Count — Within style-specified range
✅ CTA — Ending has action prompt

Title Optimization Process

Step 1: Generate 10 Candidate Titles

Use these psychological strategies:

StrategyDescriptionExample
SuspenseSpark curiosity"为什么我放弃了年薪50万的工作"
BenefitClarify reader gains"掌握这3个技巧,效率提升200%"
Pain PointHit reader anxiety"别让这个习惯毁了你的职业生涯"
NumbersSpecific and tangible"50%的人都误解了这个真相"
RhetoricalStimulate thinking"你真的了解AI吗?"
ContrastCreate contrast"BAT vs 创业公司:差别在哪"

Step 2: Score and Filter

Score on 3 dimensions (Attractiveness 40%, Shareability 30%, SEO 30%) and present top 3 to user.
