Xiaohongshu Cover Generator
This skill generates Xiaohongshu-style cover images based on user-provided topics.
Usage
When a user requests a Xiaohongshu cover image:
- Confirm the topic with the user if not clear
- Check for API key (CANGHE_API_KEY environment variable or ask user to provide it)
- Run the generation script with the topic
- The image will be saved to the current working directory with filename format:
xiaohongshu-cover-{timestamp}.png
Running the Script
The script is located at scripts/handler.ts and requires:
- Topic (required): The subject for the cover image
- API Key (required): Either via environment variable
CANGHE_API_KEYor passed as argument
Execute with:
cd ~/.codebuddy/skills/xiaohongshu-cover-generator
npx tsx scripts/handler.ts "<topic>" "<api-key-optional>"
Or with environment variable:
cd ~/.codebuddy/skills/xiaohongshu-cover-generator
CANGHE_API_KEY="your-api-key" npx tsx scripts/handler.ts "<topic>"
API Key
Users need a valid API key from https://api.canghe.ai/
If the API key is missing or invalid, provide the user with clear instructions to obtain one.
Output
The generated image will be saved to the directory where the skill was invoked (current working directory), not the skill's directory. The filename format is xiaohongshu-cover-{timestamp}.png where timestamp is in milliseconds.
Style Specifications
The generated images follow these specifications:
- Aspect ratio: 3:4 (vertical, mobile-friendly)
- Style: Clean, refined, youthful aesthetic
- Automatic removal of watermarks and logos
- High-quality output suitable for mobile viewing
- Text should be clear and readable with appropriate sizing

Implementation Guide▌
Prerequisites
- ›Claude Desktop or compatible AI client
- ›Access to product documentation and roadmap tools (Jira, Notion, etc.)
- ›Understanding of product management frameworks (RICE, Jobs-to-be-Done, etc.)
- ›Stakeholder contact information and communication channels
Time Estimate
30-60 minutes to see productivity improvements
Installation Steps
- 1.Install product management skill
- 2.Start with user story generation for known feature
- 3.Progress to competitive analysis: research 2-3 competitors
- 4.Use for roadmap prioritization: apply RICE/ICE scoring
- 5.Draft stakeholder communications and refine based on feedback
- 6.Build template library for recurring PM tasks
- 7.Share effective prompts with product team
Common Pitfalls
- ⚠Not validating competitive research—verify facts before sharing
- ⚠Accepting user stories without involving engineering team
- ⚠Over-relying on frameworks without qualitative judgment
- ⚠Not customizing outputs to company culture and communication style
- ⚠Skipping stakeholder validation of generated requirements
Best Practices▌
✓ Do
- +Validate research and competitive analysis with real data
- +Collaborate with engineering when generating technical requirements
- +Customize frameworks and templates to your company context
- +Use skill for first drafts, refine with stakeholder input
- +Document successful prompt patterns for PM tasks
- +Combine AI efficiency with human judgment and intuition
✗ Don't
- −Don't publish competitive analysis without fact-checking
- −Don't finalize user stories without engineering review
- −Don't make prioritization decisions solely on AI scoring
- −Don't skip customer validation of generated requirements
- −Don't ignore company-specific context and culture
💡 Pro Tips
- ★Provide context: company goals, constraints, customer feedback
- ★Ask for alternatives: 'Show 3 ways to prioritize this roadmap'
- ★Request stakeholder-specific formatting: 'Executive summary vs. engineering spec'
- ★Use skill for 70% generation + 30% customization to company needs
When to Use This▌
✓ Use When
Use for user story writing, competitive research, roadmap prioritization, stakeholder communication, and PRD drafting. Best for reducing repetitive documentation and research work.
✗ Avoid When
Avoid for strategic product vision (requires deep customer empathy), pricing decisions (needs market and financial expertise), or when face-to-face customer discovery is more valuable than speed.
