Auto‑Redbook‑Skills: Automate Xiaohongshu Content Creation

Xiaohongshu (Little Red Book) has become a premier platform for lifestyle and shopping content. The Auto‑Redbook‑Skills repository gives creators a head‑start by turning plain Markdown into ready‑to‑publish posts, complete with styled images and optional auto‑posting.

Why Use Auto‑Redbook‑Skills?

• Speed – Create a draft, render all images, and publish in seconds.
• Consistency – All images share a unified card layout and brand‑sensitive theme.
• Flexibility – Switch between Python or Node.js tooling, choose themes, adjust pagination, and control image dimensions.
• Open‑Source – Fork, modify, or contribute. The MIT license makes it safe for commercial use.

Core Features

Getting Started

Rendering Images

The heart of the workflow is the rendering script. Pick the language that suits you.

Python

# Default theme + manual page break
python scripts/render_xhs.py demos/content.md

# Automatic split (recommended for long content)
python scripts/render_xhs.py demos/content.md -m auto-split

# Change theme
python scripts/render_xhs.py demos/content.md -t playful-geometric -m auto-split

# Custom dimensions & DPR
python scripts/render_xhs.py demos/content.md -t retro -m dynamic --width 1080 --height 1440 --max-height 2160 --dpr 2

Node.js

# Default theme + manual page break
node scripts/render_xhs.js demos/content.md

# Theme selection + auto‑split
node scripts/render_xhs.js demos/content.md -t terminal -m auto-split

After execution you’ll find a cover.png and one or more card_X.png files in your working directory.

Publishing to Xiaohongshu

The publish script uses your browser‑obtained cookie to authenticate.

1. Copy the example env file and fill in your cookie string:

   cp env.example.txt .env
   # Edit .env → XHS_COOKIE=your_cookie_string_here
   

2. Run the publish script:

   python scripts/publish_xhs.py \
     --title "Your Post Title" \
     --desc "Optional description" \
     --images cover.png card_1.png card_2.png
   

Optional flags: - --private – publish as a private note. - --post-time "2024-01-01 12:00:00" – schedule future posting. - --dry-run – test without actual publish.

Security Note: Never commit .env or cookie strings to version control.
