# Post to Weibo

Posts text, images, videos, and long-form articles to Weibo via real Chrome browser (bypasses anti-bot detection).

## Script Directory

**Important**: All scripts are located in the `scripts/` subdirectory of this skill.

**Agent Execution Instructions**:
1. Determine this SKILL.md file's directory path as `{baseDir}`
2. Script path = `{baseDir}/scripts/<script-name>.ts`
3. Replace all `{baseDir}` in this document with the actual path
4. Resolve `${BUN_X}` runtime: if `bun` installed → `bun`; if `npx` available → `npx -y bun`; else suggest installing bun

**Script Reference**:
| Script | Purpose |
|--------|---------|
| `scripts/weibo-post.ts` | Regular posts (text + images) |
| `scripts/weibo-article.ts` | Headline article publishing (Markdown) |
| `scripts/copy-to-clipboard.ts` | Copy content to clipboard |
| `scripts/paste-from-clipboard.ts` | Send real paste keystroke |

## Preferences (EXTEND.md)

Check EXTEND.md in priority order — the first one found wins:

| Priority | Path | Scope |
|----------|------|-------|
| 1 | `.baoyu-skills/baoyu-post-to-weibo/EXTEND.md` | Project |
| 2 | `${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}/baoyu-skills/baoyu-post-to-weibo/EXTEND.md` | XDG |
| 3 | `$HOME/.baoyu-skills/baoyu-post-to-weibo/EXTEND.md` | User home |

If none found, use defaults.

**EXTEND.md supports**: Default Chrome profile

## Prerequisites

- Google Chrome or Chromium
- `bun` runtime
- First run: log in to Weibo manually (session saved)

---

## Regular Posts

Text + images/videos (max 18 files total). Posted on Weibo homepage.

```bash
${BUN_X} {baseDir}/scripts/weibo-post.ts "Hello Weibo!" --image ./photo.png
${BUN_X} {baseDir}/scripts/weibo-post.ts "Watch this" --video ./clip.mp4
```

**Parameters**:
| Parameter | Description |
|-----------|-------------|
| `<text>` | Post content (positional) |
| `--image <path>` | Image file (repeatable) |
| `--video <path>` | Video file (repeatable) |
| `--profile <dir>` | Custom Chrome profile |

**Note**: Script opens browser with content filled in. User reviews and publishes manually.

---

## Headline Articles (头条文章)

Long-form Markdown articles published at `https://card.weibo.com/article/v3/editor`.

```bash
${BUN_X} {baseDir}/scripts/weibo-article.ts article.md
${BUN_X} {baseDir}/scripts/weibo-article.ts article.md --cover ./cover.jpg
```

**Parameters**:
| Parameter | Description |
|-----------|-------------|
| `<markdown>` | Markdown file (positional) |
| `--cover <path>` | Cover image |
| `--title <text>` | Override title (max 32 chars, truncated if longer) |
| `--summary <text>` | Override summary (max 44 chars, auto-regenerated if longer) |
| `--profile <dir>` | Custom Chrome profile |

**Frontmatter**: `title`, `summary`, `cover_image` supported in YAML front matter.

**Character Limits**:
- Title: 32 characters max (truncated with warning if longer)
- Summary/导语: 44 characters max (auto-regenerated from content if longer)

**Markdown-to-HTML**: Do NOT pass any `--theme` parameter when converting markdown to HTML. Use the default theme (no theme argument).

**Article Workflow**:
1. Opens `https://card.weibo.com/article/v3/editor`
2. Clicks "写文章" button, waits for editor to become editable
3. Fills title (validated for 32-char limit)
4. Fills summary/导语 (validated for 44-char limit)
5. Inserts HTML content into ProseMirror editor via paste
6. Replaces image placeholders one by one (copy image → select placeholder → paste)

**Post-Composition Check**: The script automatically verifies after all images are inserted:
- Remaining `WBIMGPH_` placeholders in editor content
- Expected vs actual image count

If the check fails (warnings in output), alert the user with the specific issues before they publish.

## Post Type Selection

Unless the user explicitly specifies the post type:
- **Markdown file** (`.md`) → **Headline Article** (头条文章)
- **Plain text** / text with images → **Regular Post**

## Troubleshooting

### Chrome debug port not ready

If a script fails with `Chrome debug port not ready` or `Unable to connect`, kill only the CDP Chrome instances (those with `--remote-debugging-port` AND the baoyu-skills profile), then retry:

```bash
pkill -f "remote-debugging-port.*baoyu-skills/chrome-profile" 2>/dev/null; sleep 2
```

**CRITICAL**: Never kill all Chrome processes (`pkill -f "Google Chrome"`). Only kill Chrome instances launched by CDP with the baoyu-skills profile directory. The user may have regular Chrome windows open.

**Important**: This should be done automatically -- when encountering this error, kill the CDP Chrome instances and retry the command without asking the user.

## Notes

- First run: manual login required (session persists)
- All scripts only fill content into the browser, user must review and publish manually
- Cross-platform: macOS, Linux, Windows

## Extension Support

Custom configurations via EXTEND.md. See **Preferences** section for paths and supported options.
