shirenchuang Kuaifa — Markdown to WeChat, One Command
Kuaifa (快发) is a CLI tool that publishes Markdown articles to WeChat Official Accounts. It handles image uploading and draft creation — the user just writes Markdown and runs one command.

Version Check
On first use in a session, check the CLI version and compare with latest:
kuaifa --version
npm view kuaifa version
If an update is available, mention it once: npm update -g kuaifa
If users report issues, also remind them to update the skill: cd ~/.claude/skills/kuaifa && git pull origin main
Setup
Before any operation, check if kuaifa is installed and configured: kuaifa config list
If unconfigured or not installed, read references/setup.md and walk the user through the full setup process.
Workflows
Generate NEW Article + Publish
When user asks you to WRITE/GENERATE a new article, you must fetch the template's writing prompt first — it contains structure, tone, and formatting rules that make the article work with the template's design.
Fetch template prompt:
- If user specifies a template →
kuaifa template prompt <template-id> - If not →
kuaifa template prompt（reads user's remote default template automatically） - Read the output carefully and follow all its guidelines when writing.
- If user specifies a template →
Write article following the prompt guidelines.
Publish:
- If template was specified:
kuaifa publish article.md --title "文章标题" --cover cover.jpg --template <template-id> - If using default:
kuaifa publish article.md --title "文章标题" --cover cover.jpg
- If template was specified:
When to skip the template prompt: User has an existing/finished article, or explicitly says to write without template style.
Publish EXISTING Article
Already-written article — just publish directly, no template prompt needed:
kuaifa publish article.md --title "文章标题" --cover cover.jpg --template mint
Publish Image Message (newspic)
For image-focused content (photo collections, image notes, galleries):
kuaifa publish-newspic --title "今日AI资讯" --images img1.jpg img2.jpg img3.jpg --caption "精选内容"
Use this for image-primary content, NOT text articles with embedded images.
