Security Notice
We perform automated surface-level scans (Gen AI Scanner, Socket, Snyk) during installation. These checks detect common vulnerabilities but do not guarantee complete security. Always review skill source code and verify the publisher's reputation before production use.
Skills execute code in your environment. Always review source, verify the publisher, and test in isolation before production.
Documentation
Toutiao Publisher Skill
Manage Toutiao (Today's Headlines) account, maintain persistent login session, and publish articles.
When to Use This Skill
Trigger when user:
- Asks to publish to Toutiao/Today's Headlines
- Wants to manage Toutiao login
- Mentions "toutiao" or "头条号"
Core Workflow
Step 1: Authentication (One-Time Setup)
The skill requires a one-time login. The session is persisted for subsequent uses.
# Browser will open for manual login (scan QR code)
python scripts/run.py auth_manager.py setup
Instructions:
- Run the setup command.
- A browser window will open loading the Toutiao login page.
- Log in manually (e.g., scan QR code).
- Once logged in (redirected to dashboard), the script will save the session and close.
Step 2: Publish Article
# Opens browser with authenticated session at publish page
python scripts/run.py publisher.py
Instructions:
- Run the publisher command.
- Browser opens directly to the "Publish Article" page.
- Write and publish the article manually.
- Press
Ctrl+Cin the terminal when done.
Note: Toutiao requires titles to be 2-30 characters. This tool automatically optimizes titles to fit this constraint (truncating if >30, padding if <2).
Advanced Usage (Automated)
You can fully automate the publishing process by providing arguments:
# Publish with title, content file, and cover image
python scripts/run.py publisher.py --title "AI Trends 2025" --content "article.md" --cover "assets/cover.jpg" --headless
Management
# Check authentication status
python scripts/run.py auth_manager.py status
# Clear authentication data (logout)
python scripts/run.py auth_manager.py clear

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
Steps
- 1Install product management skill
- 2Start with user story generation for known feature
- 3Progress to competitive analysis: research 2-3 competitors
- 4Use for roadmap prioritization: apply RICE/ICE scoring
- 5Draft stakeholder communications and refine based on feedback
- 6Build template library for recurring PM tasks
- 7Share 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.
Learning Path
