Toutiao Publisher
Use the scripts from this Skill directory. Resolve the directory containing this
SKILL.md first and set its absolute path as SKILL DIR ; do not assume the caller's
working directory is the Skill directory.
Safety rules
Default to mode manual . Leave Chrome open for the user to review and click Publish.
Use mode auto only when the user explicitly authorizes final publishing.
Run clear yes or reauth yes only after the user confirms that all local
Agents may lose the shared Toutiao session.
Do not bypass input validation or treat an unconfirmed publish click as success.
Preflight authentication
Check the protected Toutiao page before asking the user to scan a QR code:
If the result status is not authenticated , open the interactive login flow:
The shared profile lives under ~/.super publisher/toutiao publisher/ by default.
Codex, Kiro, Antigravity, and direct CLI runs by the same system user reuse it.
Set SUPER PUBLISHER DATA DIR to override the location; relative values resolve
from the user home directory.
Prepare and publish an article
Validate inputs without opening Chrome:
After validation succeeds, fill the draft and wait for manual review:
Use direct text only through content text . content remains an alias for
content file ; a missing path is an error rather than literal article text.
Markdown supports headings, links, ordered and unordered lists, block quotes,
tables, fenced code, inline code, emphasis, and local inline images. Resolve relative
image paths from the Markdown file. If the body contains images, skip explicit cover
upload. Use no cover only when the body has no image and no cover is supplied.
For explicitly authorized automatic publishing:
Automatic publishing succeeds only after Toutiao displays a recognized success
indicator. A final button click without confirmation returns publish unconfirmed .
Result contract
With json , authentication commands write one JSON result to stdout. Publisher
commands write newline delimited JSON events; manual mode emits
awaiting manual review before waiting for the user.
Exit 0 : authenticated, input valid, manual review completed, or publish confirmed.
Exit 1 : runtime, browser interaction, draft, upload, or publish failure.
Exit 2 : invalid input, missing authentication, or clear confirmation required.
Treat stderr as human readable diagnostics. Do not parse emojis or prose to determine
success.
Session management
Environment
Require Python 3.9+, Google Chrome, and local network access. scripts/run.py
bootstraps scripts/setup environment.py , verifies the requirements fingerprint,
and executes the target with the Skill local .venv Python. The shared state directory
uses owner only permissions. Avoid starting concurrent browser operations against the
same persistent Chrome Profile.
Enable debug screenshots only when troubleshooting. Screenshots are written under
output/toutiao publisher debug/ by default.
