A fenced bash/python block in SKILL.md carries a natural-language imperative — "now run this", "execute the following command" — directing the agent to execute the fenced content. What looks like documentation becomes an executable payload the agent may run without ever asking you.

A toolkit of Claude Code skills for long-form content creators — research, score, rewrite, and publish, end to end.
中文版: README.zh-CN.md
5 skills extracted from a real working writing setup. They are opinionated, narrow in scope, and meant to compose. Each one does one thing.
Skill descriptions (frontmatter) are English so they trigger correctly. Skill bodies are written in Chinese — that's the author's working language. If you don't read Chinese, the script files and command examples are still usable, and the descriptions tell you what each skill does. PRs translating bodies welcome.
Add this repo as a Claude Code marketplace, then install:
/plugin marketplace add xiaomoBoy/claude-writing-skills
/plugin install claude-writing-skills@claude-writing-skillsThat's it — you now have all 5 skills available.
Each skill may need its own upstream CLI (e.g. yt-dlp, nlm, codex, wechatsync). See [INSTALL.md](INSTALL.md) for the full per-OS install guide (macOS / Linux / Windows + verification + troubleshooting).
Not using Claude Code? See [INTEGRATIONS.md](INTEGRATIONS.md) for using these skills with Cursor, Aider, Codex CLI, the Claude API directly, or as standalone scripts.
| Skill | What it does | Depends on |
|---|---|---|
| research-collector | Collect YouTube videos + web articles for a topic, push into a NotebookLM notebook, run analysis queries, save results as markdown. | notebooklm-mcp-cli (nlm), yt-dlp |
| publisher-wechatsync | Publish a finished markdown article to 知乎 / 掘金 / CSDN / 公众号 etc. as drafts via the wechatsync CLI. Handles pre-flight checks, dry-run, and image-path normalization. | @wechatsync/cli + Chrome extension |
| article-optimizer | Score a single article against a fixed viral-content rubric, then iterate rewrites round by round to raise the score. | codex CLI |
| score-optimizer | Calibrate / improve the scoring rubric itself by batch-scoring a labeled sample set. The companion to article-optimizer when you want to tune the evaluator. | codex CLI |
| yt-dlp-direct | A pragmatic command-reference skill for the installed yt-dlp CLI — single videos, playlists, audio extraction, subtitles, cookies-from-browser. No reinvention, just operational knowledge. | yt-dlp |
I write long-form articles on my own publication and cross-post to several Chinese platforms. After a year of doing it with Claude Code, I had accumulated maybe 30 ad-hoc prompts and shell helpers. These 5 skills are the parts that survived the consolidation — the ones I actually use every week.
Two design principles run through all of them:
yt-dlp, nlm, wechatsync, codex), the skill wraps operational knowledge around it rather than reinventing in pure prompt.If you want the writing workflow as a whole (idea → outline → draft → style alignment), it's deeply coupled to my personal vault and not part of this release. These 5 are the parts I could cleanly extract.
You: 帮我收集 "Claude Code skills" 这个话题的素材,输出到 ./research/claude-skills
Claude: [invokes research-collector] → creates notebook, adds ~15 YouTube + ~40 web sources,
runs 3 analysis queries, saves summary markdownYou: 把 path/to/article.md 发到知乎和掘金(先 dry-run)
Claude: [invokes publisher-wechatsync] → checks auth, normalizes image paths,
runs dry-run, asks confirmation, then syncsYou: 给 path/to/article.md 跑一遍评分
Claude: [invokes article-optimizer] → returns 9-dimension score JSON
You: 评分器对 "title_score" 给得太松,帮我校准
Claude: [invokes score-optimizer] → re-runs prompt on labeled samples, comparesYou: 把这个 YouTube 播放列表的音频下下来
Claude: [invokes yt-dlp-direct] → constructs the exact yt-dlp invocation, runs itMost skills work with zero config. A few env vars are useful:
| Variable | Used by | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
CODEX_CLI_PATH | article-optimizer, score-optimizer | Override codex binary path if not on PATH |
RESEARCH_OUTPUT_DIR | research-collector | Default output directory (default: ./research/<topic>/) |
MD_VAULT_ROOT | publisher-wechatsync (image normalizer) | Fallback root for resolving relative image paths |
WECHATSYNC_TOKEN | publisher-wechatsync | Required, from the Wechatsync Chrome extension |
