Script Directory
Agent Execution: Determine this SKILL.md directory as {baseDir}. Resolve ${BUN_X} runtime: if bun installed → bun; if npx available → npx -y bun; else suggest installing bun. Replace {baseDir} and ${BUN_X} with actual values.

Workflow
Step 0: Pre-check (Chinese Content)
Condition: Only execute if input file contains Chinese text. Detection:
- Read input markdown file
- Check if content contains CJK characters (Chinese/Japanese/Korean)
- If no CJK content → skip to Step 1
Format Suggestion:
If CJK content detected AND
baoyu-format-markdownskill is available: UseAskUserQuestionto ask whether to format first. Formatting can fix:
- Bold markers with punctuation inside causing
**parse failures - CJK/English spacing issues
If user agrees: Invoke
baoyu-format-markdownskill to format the file, then use formatted file as input. If user declines: Continue with original file.
Step 1: Determine Theme
Theme resolution order (first match wins):
- User explicitly specified theme (CLI
--themeor conversation) - EXTEND.md
default_theme(this skill's own EXTEND.md, checked in Step 0) baoyu-post-to-wechatEXTEND.mddefault_theme(cross-skill fallback)- If none found → use AskUserQuestion to confirm
Cross-skill EXTEND.md check (only if this skill's EXTEND.md has no
default_theme):
# Check baoyu-post-to-wechat EXTEND.md for default_theme
test -f "$HOME/.baoyu-skills/baoyu-post-to-wechat/EXTEND.md" && grep -o 'default_theme:.*' "$HOME/.baoyu-skills/baoyu-post-to-wechat/EXTEND.md"
# PowerShell (Windows)
if (Test-Path "$HOME/.baoyu-skills/baoyu-post-to-wechat/EXTEND.md") { Select-String -Pattern 'default_theme:.*' -Path "$HOME/.baoyu-skills/baoyu-post-to-wechat/EXTEND.md" | ForEach-Object { $_.Matches.Value } }
If theme is resolved from EXTEND.md: Use it directly, do NOT ask the user.
If no default found: Use AskUserQuestion to confirm:
Theme
Description
default (Recommended)
Classic - traditional layout, centered title with bottom border, H2 with white text on colored background
grace
Elegant - text shadow, rounded cards, refined blockquotes
simple
Minimal - modern minimalist, asymmetric rounded corners, clean whitespace
modern
Modern - large radius, pill-shaped titles, relaxed line height (pair with --color red for traditional red-gold style)
Step 1.5: Determine Citation Mode
Default: Off. Do not ask by default.
Enable only if the user explicitly asks for "微信外链转底部引用", "底部引用", "文末引用", or passes --cite.
Behavior when enabled:
- Ordinary external links are rendered with numbered superscripts and collected under a final
引用链接section. https://mp.weixin.qq.com/...links stay as direct links and are not moved to the bottom.- Bare links where link text equals URL stay inline.
Step 2: Convert
${BUN_X} {baseDir}/scripts/main.ts <markdown_file> --theme <theme> [--cite]
Step 3: Report Result
Display the output path from JSON result. If backup was created, mention it.
Usage
