What This Skill Does

The personal-toutiao-pub skill is a robust automation agent designed specifically for managing content publishing on the Jinri Toutiao (今日头条) platform. By leveraging the Playwright browser automation framework, this tool connects to your existing Chrome instance via a remote debugging port. This allows the skill to inherit your active session cookies, effectively bypassing the need for tedious manual re-authentication or complex OAuth flows. It automates the entire micro-blogging (微头条) workflow, including content input, smart expansion of short texts, image attachment, and mandatory legal disclaimers. Furthermore, the agent ensures operational transparency by generating visual confirmation through automated screenshots upon successful completion.

Installation

To install this skill, use the ClawHub CLI: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/chellen021/personal-toutiao-pub. After installation, ensure you have the required dependencies by running pip3 install playwright and executing playwright install chromium. Crucially, you must launch your Google Chrome instance with the remote debugging flag enabled: --remote-debugging-port=9222. Without this specific browser configuration, the skill will be unable to establish the necessary communication bridge to control your Toutiao session.

Use Cases

This skill is ideal for content creators, social media managers, and digital marketers who rely on Toutiao for traffic and brand exposure. It is particularly useful for batch-processing micro-blog posts, automating daily content scheduling, or integrating AI-generated text directly into your Toutiao feed. By utilizing the file-reading parameter, users can easily pipe large volumes of pre-drafted text from local markdown or text files, streamlining the editorial pipeline without needing to manually copy-paste into the browser.

Example Prompts

1. "发布头条：今天在开发AI智能体过程中遇到一个有趣的挑战，其实解决问题的思路比代码本身更重要。"
2. "发微头条 从本地文件 /Users/docs/update.txt 中读取内容并发布，记得带上那张关于工作台的照片。"
3. "头条发布：分享一个高效利用开源工具提升工作效率的技巧，主要涉及自动化脚本的编写。"

Tips & Limitations

To ensure consistent performance, verify that you are logged into mp.toutiao.com in your browser before triggering the skill. If the browser structure updates, the skill may require maintenance. Always check the desktop for the success screenshot to confirm your content reached the feed. Note that this tool is designed for personal account management; large-scale automated posting may trigger platform rate limits, so exercise caution with high-frequency updates.
