WeChat Sketch Cover

Create one verified fixed-format WeChat article cover.

When to use it

Use an exact title

I have one Chinese or Chinese-mixed article title and want a warm hand-drawn WeChat cover with that title on the left.

Use a Markdown article

I have one Markdown article whose frontmatter title or first H1 should drive the cover concept and exact visible title.

Fixed style needed

I want the standard warm paper, red-accent, hand-drawn composition and exactly one 1923 × 818 PNG, without choosing visual options.

Won't take

This is not for other platforms, custom styles, sizes, palettes, branding, photo editing, body illustrations, prompt-only output, URL fetching, or publishing.

What it produces

Style, layout, dimensions, and text policy are fixed; only the content concept changes.

• Source record: Saves the exact title and supplied article text or summary in a new output directory
• Reproducible attempts: Saves every prompt or build specification before creating its candidate
• Candidate images: Normalizes up to three attempted covers and visually checks each result
• Final cover: Copies the selected result to cover.png only after verifying PNG format and 1923 × 818 dimensions
• Delivery record: Reports status, title accuracy, backend, prompts, candidates, and diagnostics in a fixed order
• External activity: May use an available image backend or local renderer to create candidates
• Never: Modifies the source article, overwrites an existing output, or publishes the cover

Prerequisites & boundaries

Prerequisites

Provide one exact Chinese or Chinese-mixed title of 2–35 non-whitespace characters, optionally with article text, or one readable Markdown file. Pillow and the bundled style resources must be available.

Neighbor skill split

• One fixed WeChat cover → wechat-sketch-cover
• A set of article illustrations → post-illustration-images

Scenarios it declines

• Conflicting title sources until one exact title is selected
• Titles without a Han character, URLs, and non-Markdown local documents
• Any request to change the fixed visual contract or add extra readable text

Subtle edges

• A candidate may be best-effort only when title accuracy is its sole remaining defect after three attempts
• Branding, extra text, unreadable output, or any other visual failure can never be accepted as best-effort
• Every retained artifact stays inside a newly created output directory
