Great, now I can directly use Codex to automatically batch fetch WeChat Official Account articles. Both original articles and multiple articles at once can be accurately fetched; body text, likes, shares, comments, and read counts can also be fetched. Previously I had to manually operate on the website, now I just let Codex do it — so comfortable~ For the body text, just scan a QR code, and the login persists for 4 days. For other data, you need to switch proxies, but Codex can handle that itself. Skill GitHub URL: https://github.com/mcncarl/yichen-skills/tree/main/wechat-mp-batch-exporter…

  2. Upload Obsidian/Markdown articles to X Articles drafts (x-article-draft-uploader)
  3. Turn WeChat chats, Moments, and Favorites into AI-powered digital assets (wechat-local-vault)
  4. Run two WeChat accounts on one Mac with a distinct blue icon (mac-wechat-dual-open)
  5. Fetch benchmark videos/posts from Douyin and Xiaohongshu (douyin-fetcher, xiaohongshu-fetch)
  6. Transcribe, caption, and rough-cut talking-head videos with Volcengine ASR (volc-asr)
  7. Diagnose benchmark video transcripts (yichen-video-content)

  11. Batch-export WeChat Official Account article history, original-article lists, bodies, and optional read/comment metrics (wechat-mp-batch-exporter)

Included Skills

1) summary

  • Purpose: extract key insights from the current conversation and save to Obsidian
  • Typical triggers: /summary, “save conversation”, “export highlights”
  • Capabilities:
    • Filters out low-value chat transitions
    • Produces structured notes (Background, Core Content, Solution, Key Points, Related)
    • Useful for long-term knowledge accumulation

2) x-article-draft-uploader

Upload Obsidian/Markdown long-form articles to X Articles drafts:

  • Uses the first image as the X Article cover
  • Converts Markdown into rich text for the X editor
  • Inserts body images at their original Markdown positions
  • Runs in an independent Playwright browser so it does not take over the user’s current Chrome window
  • Reuses Chrome login state through temporary exported cookies
  • Saves drafts only and does not click the final 发布 button

See x-article-draft-uploader/README.md for installation, privacy notes, and troubleshooting.

3) mac-wechat-dual-open

Run two WeChat accounts simultaneously on macOS — no third-party tools:

  • Copies WeChat, changes the bundle identifier, and re-signs locally
  • Recolors the second app’s icon from green to blue for visual distinction
  • Handles both outer and embedded icon files, Finder custom icon, and cache refresh
  • One-command workflow: createrecolor-iconlaunch
  • Typical triggers: “微信双开”, “WeChat dual open”, “double WeChat”
  • Requirements: macOS 12+, WeChat at /Applications/WeChat.app, Python 3.10+, Pillow
  • Limitations: breaks after WeChat updates (re-run repair), push notifications may be unreliable
  • Based on the well-known copy + bundle-id + ad-hoc signing method documented by @koffuxu (https://x.com/koffuxu/status/2043110831584690427)

4) wechat-local-vault

  5. See wechat-mp-batch-exporter/README.md before using metrics, comments, proxy, certificate, or WeChat desktop workflows

X Cookie Handling

This repo does not include real credentials or cookie templates. x-article-draft-uploader exports current X cookies from the user’s local Chrome profile into a temporary Playwright cookie file: bash python3 ~/.codex/skills/x-article-draft-uploader/scripts/export_x_cookies_from_chrome.py --output /tmp/x_current_cookies.json The temporary file is sensitive and should be deleted after use: bash rm -f /tmp/x_current_cookies.json .gitignore already ignores **/cookies.json.

Security Notes

  • Real token/cookie values are not included
  • History/cache artifacts are excluded from tracking
  • Personal absolute paths are replaced with generic forms
  • Third-party AppID, AppToken, TableID, bucket names, and ASR tokens must be supplied through environment variables or private config
  • WeChat exporter auth-keys, credential files, QR secrets, captured cookies, and downloaded article archives must stay local and private

If you ever exposed real cookies in a public repo, rotate them immediately.

FAQ

Why doesn’t a skill trigger?

  • Verify the skill folder is in your actually loaded skill path
  • Restart the session and retry
  • Check name and description in SKILL.md frontmatter

Why did X Articles draft upload fail?

  • Check whether Chrome is still logged in to X
  • Re-export temporary cookies
  • Verify Python Playwright is installed
  • Verify local Markdown/image paths exist

Can I use my own Obsidian path?

  • Yes. Replace example paths in skill files
  • /... is only an example
