freestylefly/xiaohongshu-skills

Overview

This skill generates Xiaohongshu-style (Xiaohongshu = Little Red Book) vertical cover images based on user topics. It produces clean, youthful 3:4 mobile-friendly covers saved to the current working directory. Use it to quickly create platform-ready cover art with readable text and no watermarks.

How this skill works

You provide a topic or short brief and the skill calls the image generation backend using an API key (CANGHE_API_KEY or provided at runtime). The generator creates a high-quality 3:4 image, applies Xiaohongshu-style layout and typography, removes watermarks/logos automatically, and saves the file as xiaohongshu-cover-{timestamp}.png in the directory where the skill is invoked. If the topic is unclear, the skill prompts for clarification before generating.

When to use it

• Creating a mobile-optimized Xiaohongshu cover for a post or note.
• You have a topic, hook line, or keywords like "Xiaohongshu cover", "小红书封面", or "封面生成".
• Rapid prototyping of social media thumbnails in the Xiaohongshu aesthetic.
• When you need a clean, readably-typed cover without watermarks for publishing.

Best practices

• Provide a concise topic plus 1–2 style hints (mood, dominant color, or short headline).
• Ensure CANGHE_API_KEY is set in the environment or pass a valid API key when running.
• Use short, clear text for cover headlines so they remain readable at mobile scale.
• Run generation from the target project directory so the output file is saved where you want it.
• Confirm the topic if the intent is ambiguous to avoid multiple iterations.

Example use cases

• Generate a cover for a beauty tutorial titled "5-minute morning makeup" with a pastel aesthetic.
• Create a travel note cover for "Best cafes in Taipei" using warm, cozy tones.
• Produce an e-commerce product highlight cover focusing on a bold single-color background.
• Make a lifestyle post cover that emphasizes a clean, minimalist layout for text overlays.
