Markdown to HTML Converter

Converts Markdown files to beautifully styled HTML with inline CSS, optimized for WeChat Official Account and other platforms.

User Input Tools

When this skill prompts the user, follow this tool-selection rule (priority order):

  1. Prefer built-in user-input tools exposed by the current agent runtime — e.g.,
    AskUserQuestion
    ,
    request_user_input
    ,
    clarify
    ,
    ask_user
    , or any equivalent.
  2. Fallback: if no such tool exists, emit a numbered plain-text message and ask the user to reply with the chosen number/answer for each question.
  3. Batching: if the tool supports multiple questions per call, combine all applicable questions into a single call; if only single-question, ask them one at a time in priority order.

Concrete

AskUserQuestion
references below are examples — substitute the local equivalent in other runtimes.

Script Directory

Agent Execution: Determine this SKILL.md directory as

{baseDir}
. Resolve
${BUN_X}
runtime: if
bun
installed →
bun
; if
npx
available →
npx -y bun
; else suggest installing bun. Replace
{baseDir}
and
${BUN_X}
with actual values.

Preferences (EXTEND.md)

Check EXTEND.md in priority order — the first one found wins:

PriorityPathScope

.baoyu-skills/baoyu-markdown-to-html/EXTEND.md
Project

${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}/baoyu-skills/baoyu-markdown-to-html/EXTEND.md

If none found, use defaults.

EXTEND.md supports: default theme, custom CSS variables, code block style.

Workflow

Step 0: Pre-check (Chinese Content)

Condition: Only execute if input file contains Chinese text.

Detection:

  1. Read input markdown file
  2. Check if content contains CJK characters (Chinese/Japanese/Korean)
  3. If no CJK content → skip to Step 1

Format Suggestion:

If CJK content detected AND

baoyu-format-markdown
skill is available:

Use

AskUserQuestion
to ask whether to format first. Formatting can fix:

  • Bold markers with punctuation inside causing
    **
    parse failures
  • CJK/English spacing issues

If user agrees: Invoke

baoyu-format-markdown
skill to format the file, then use formatted file as input.

If user declines: Continue with original file.

Step 1: Determine Theme

Theme resolution order (first match wins):

  1. User explicitly specified theme (CLI
    --theme
    or conversation)
  2. EXTEND.md
    default_theme
    (this skill's own EXTEND.md, checked in Step 0)
  3. baoyu-post-to-wechat
    EXTEND.md
    default_theme
    (cross-skill fallback)
  4. If none found → use AskUserQuestion to confirm

Cross-skill EXTEND.md check (only if this skill's EXTEND.md has no

default_theme
):

Read

$HOME/.baoyu-skills/baoyu-post-to-wechat/EXTEND.md
if it exists and look for a
default_theme:
line. Use the value if present; otherwise fall through.

If theme is resolved from EXTEND.md: Use it directly, do NOT ask the user.

If no default found: use

AskUserQuestion
to confirm a theme from the Themes table below.

Step 1.5: Determine Citation Mode

Default: Off. Do not ask by default.

Enable only if the user explicitly asks for "微信外链转底部引用", "底部引用", "文末引用", or passes

--cite
.

Behavior when enabled:

  • Ordinary external links are rendered with numbered superscripts and collected under a final
    引用链接
    section.
  • https://mp.weixin.qq.com/...
    links stay as direct links and are not moved to the bottom.
  • Bare links where link text equals URL stay inline.

Step 2: Convert

${BUN_X} {baseDir}/scripts/main.ts <markdown_file> --theme <theme> [--cite]

Step 3: Report Result

Display the output path from JSON result. If backup was created, mention it.

Usage

# Theme with custom color
${BUN_X} {baseDir}/scripts/main.ts article.md --theme modern --color red

# Enable bottom citations for ordinary external links
${BUN_X} {baseDir}/scripts/main.ts article.md --cite

${BUN_X} {baseDir}/scripts/main.ts article.md --keep-title

# Override title
${BUN_X} {baseDir}/scripts/main.ts article.md --title "My Article"
