小红书 Publisher
Create, format, and publish posts to 小红书 (Xiaohongshu/RED) through browser automation.
Requirements
- Python 3 with Pillow (
pip install Pilloworapt install python3-pil) - CJK fonts —
fonts-noto-cjkon Linux (apt install fonts-noto-cjk), or Noto Sans CJK via Homebrew on macOS - OpenClaw browser tool — access to a browser with the user logged into 小红书 creator portal

Overview
This skill handles the complete 小红书 publishing pipeline:
- Draft — Write post content in 小红书 style
- Cover — Generate a cover image (1080×1440)
- Review — Send draft to user for approval via messaging channel
- Publish — Use browser automation to post (or deliver for manual posting)
Workflow
Step 1: Draft Content
Create post content following 小红书 style. See references/content-guide.md for formatting rules, structure, and examples.
Key rules:
- Title ≤20 chars, with emoji hook
- Use
---section breaks, emoji bullets, short paragraphs - End with question CTA + hashtags (8-12 tags)
- Save draft to
memory/xiaohongshu-draft.md
Step 2: Generate Cover Image
Run the cover generation script:
python3 <skill-dir>/scripts/gen_cover.py --title "主标题" --subtitle "副标题" --tags "标签1,标签2,标签3" --output /path/to/cover.pngOptions:
--title— Main title (large text, required)--subtitle— Subtitle line (medium text, optional)--tags— Comma-separated feature tags shown as pills (optional)--badge— Top-right badge text (default: "OpenClaw")--output— Output path (default:cover.png)--gradient— Color scheme:purple(default),blue,green,orange,dark
Output: 1080×1440 PNG with gradient background, decorative elements, CJK text.
Step 3: Send for Review
Send the draft content + cover image to the user's messaging channel for review. Format:
📝 小红书草稿 — [主题]
标题：[标题]
[正文内容]
封面图已生成：[path]
请确认：
✅ 可以发布
✏️ 需要修改
❌ 不发Never auto-publish. Always wait for explicit user approval.
Step 4: Publish via Browser
After user approval, publish using browser automation on the configured node.
See references/browser-publish.md for the complete browser automation steps.
Summary:
- Navigate to
https://creator.xiaohongshu.com/publish/publish - Enter title and body text
- Upload cover image via browser
uploadaction - Click publish
Fallback: Manual Publishing
If browser automation is unavailable (CDP issues, node offline, etc.), send the complete post to the user's channel with all content formatted for easy copy-paste:
📋 小红书发帖内容（请手动发布）
【标题】[标题]
【正文】
[正文内容]
【标签】[hashtags]
封面图：[path to cover image]Known Limitations
- Mac Chrome CDP: Chrome launched via SSH/node may fail to bind
--remote-debugging-porton macOS (GUI session required). Ifbrowser startfails, fall back to manual publishing. - Login state: 小红书 creator portal requires login. If the session has expired, ask the user to re-login in their browser before proceeding.
- Pillow emoji: Pillow cannot render color emoji (NotoColorEmoji.ttf) — use text/icon alternatives in cover images.
