When to use this skill

Use this skill for WeChat Mini Program development when you need to:

• Develop WeChat mini program pages and components
• Integrate CloudBase capabilities (database, cloud functions, storage)
• Deploy and preview mini program projects
• Handle mini program authentication and user identity
• Call AI models in mini programs
• Get WeChat step count data

Do NOT use for:

• Web frontend development (use web-development skill)
• Backend service development (use cloudrun-development skill)
• UI design only (use ui-design skill, but may combine with this skill)

How to use this skill (for a coding agent)

1. Follow project structure conventions

   • Mini program code in

     miniprogram

     directory
   • Cloud functions in

     cloudfunctions

     directory
   • Use latest base library version
   • Include page configuration files (e.g., index.json) when generating pages

2. Understand authentication characteristics

   • Important: Mini programs with CloudBase are naturally login-free
   • Never generate login pages or login flows
   • Get user identity via

     cloud.getWXContext().OPENID

     in cloud functions

3. Use WeChat Developer Tools correctly

   • Check

     project.config.json

     has

     appid

     field before opening
   • Use CLI command to open project pointing to directory containing

     project.config.json

4. Handle resources properly

   • Download icon images (e.g., tabbar iconPath) from Unsplash or similar sources
   • Use

     downloadRemoteFile

     tool to download resources
   • Avoid build errors by ensuring all referenced resources exist

WeChat Mini Program Development Rules

Project Structure

1. CloudBase Integration:

   • If user needs to develop mini program, you will use various WeChat CloudBase capabilities to develop the project
   • Mini program base library should use

     latest

     version

2. Directory Organization:

   • Mini program projects follow WeChat CloudBase best practices
   • Mini program code is generally in

     miniprogram

     directory
   • If developing cloud functions, they can be stored in

     cloudfunctions

     directory
   • Mini program's

     project.config.json

     needs to specify

     miniprogramRoot

     and other configurations

3. Page Generation:

   • When generating mini program pages, must include page configuration files such as

     index.json

   • Must comply with specifications to avoid compilation errors

Development Tools

WeChat Developer Tools Opening Project Workflow:

• When detecting current project is a mini program project, suggest user to use WeChat Developer Tools for preview, debugging, and publishing
• Before opening, confirm

  project.config.json

  has

  appid

  field configured. If not configured, must ask user to provide it
• Use WeChat Developer built-in CLI command to open project (pointing to directory containing

  project.config.json

  ):
  • Windows:

    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Tencent\微信web开发者工具\cli.bat" open --project "项目根目录路径"

  • macOS:

    /Applications/wechatwebdevtools.app/Contents/MacOS/cli open --project "/path/to/project/root"

• Project root directory path is the directory containing

  project.config.json

  file

CloudBase Integration

1. Environment Configuration:

   • When using

     wx.cloud

     in mini program, need to specify environment ID
   • Environment ID can be queried via

     envQuery

     tool

2. Resource Management:

   • When generating mini program code, if material images are needed, such as tabbar's

     iconPath

     and other places, can download from Unsplash via URL
   • Can refer to workflow's download remote resources process
   • When generating mini program code, if using

     iconPath

     and similar, must simultaneously help user download icons to avoid build errors

Mini Program Authentication Characteristics

Important: Mini programs with CloudBase are naturally login-free. It is strictly forbidden to generate login pages or login flows!

1. Login-Free Feature: Mini program CloudBase does not require user login, can get user identity in cloud functions via wx-server-sdk

2. User Identity Retrieval: In cloud functions, get user's unique identifier via

   cloud.getWXContext().OPENID

3. User Data Management: Manage user data in cloud functions based on openid, no login flow needed

// Example of getting user identity in cloud function
exports.main = async (event, context) => {
  const wxContext = cloud.getWXContext();
  const openid = wxContext.OPENID;
  
  return { openid: openid };
};

AI Model Invocation

Mini programs with base library version 3.7.1+ already support direct AI model invocation

// Create model instance, here we use DeepSeek AI model
const model = wx.cloud.extend.AI.createModel("deepseek");

// First set AI's system prompt, here using seven-character quatrain generation as example
const systemPrompt =
  "请严格按照七言绝句或七言律诗的格律要求创作，平仄需符合规则，押韵要和谐自然，韵脚字需在同一韵部。创作内容围绕用户给定的主题，七言绝句共四句，每句七个字；七言律诗共八句，每句七个字，颔联和颈联需对仗工整。同时，要融入生动的意象、丰富的情感与优美的意境，展现出古诗词的韵味与美感。";

// User's natural language input, e.g., '帮我写一首赞美玉龙雪山的诗'
const userInput = "帮我写一首赞美玉龙雪山的诗";

// Pass system prompt and user input to AI model
const res = await model.streamText({
  data: {
    model: "deepseek-v3", // Specify specific model
    messages: [
      { role: "system", content: systemPrompt },
      { role: "user", content: userInput },
    ],
  },
});

// Receive AI model's response
// Since AI model's return result is streaming, we need to loop to receive complete response text
for await (let str of res.textStream) {
  console.log(str);
}

WeChat Step Count Retrieval

WeChat step count retrieval must use CloudID method (base library 2.7.0+):

• Frontend:

  wx.getWeRunData()

  to get cloudID, use

  wx.cloud.CloudID(cloudID)

  to pass to cloud function
• Cloud Function: Directly use

  weRunData.data

  to get decrypted step count data, check

  weRunData.errCode

  to handle errors
• Forbidden: Do not use session_key manual decryption method, CloudID is more secure and simple
• Required: Must implement fallback mechanism (simulated data) to handle cloudID retrieval failure cases

Cloud Function Deployment and Permission Notes

• After AI automatically deploys cloud functions, special permissions like cloud invocation may be missing
• Recommend users to right-click cloud function in WeChat Developer Tools, select "Install Dependencies in Cloud"
• For functions requiring cloud invocation permissions (such as WeChat step count decryption), recommend manually deploying once via Developer Tools to get complete permissions
• If encountering permission issues, prompt user to check cloud function's service authorization and API permission configuration

Development Workflow Guidance

• After completing mini program project development, proactively suggest user to use WeChat Developer Tools for preview, debugging, and publishing
• If user agrees, use CLI command to open WeChat Developer Tools, pointing to project root directory containing

  project.config.json

• Remind user to perform real device preview, debugging, and publishing operations in WeChat Developer Tools
