gbro-cover-design
Turns WeChat and Xiaohongshu articles into 3:4 vertical cover prompts through three rounds of questions about style, source material, and visual details.
Project overview
gbro-cover-design is an Agent Skill for creating 3:4 vertical covers for WeChat and Xiaohongshu content. Give it an article and it uses three short rounds of questions to confirm the style, headline, reference images, and visual details before producing a Chinese prompt for an external image model. It is useful when you want a repeatable cover workflow without writing every prompt from scratch.
Core capabilities
Three-round requirements flow
Separates style and headline, reference material, and visual details into short decisions that still produce a concrete brief.
Ten cover compositions
Includes ten templates such as dark gradients, minimal whitespace, contrast cards, poster collages, and portrait covers.
Reference image planning
Collects face photos, product images, and interface screenshots so an external image model can understand the source material.
Detailed prompt output
Produces a Chinese prompt with the 3:4 format, subject position, background, typography, colors, and safe-area requirements.
Installation and usage
Place the complete repository in your agent's Skills directory, then complete the first-run settings for face references and your preferred image model. After that, give the agent an article and answer the three rounds of questions to receive a ready-to-use cover prompt.
Let an AI Agent install it
Send this prompt to Codex, Claude Code, or another AI agent that can work with your local environment.

Read the README and SKILL.md first, identify the Skills directory used by the current agent, and install the complete repository instead of copying only SKILL.md. Complete the first-run configuration, then test it with a short article and confirm that it asks about cover style and headline, reference images, and visual details in sequence. Report the actual installation path, steps performed, and verification result. Ask before requesting additional permissions or overwriting existing files.- Git is installed
- Your agent can load custom Skills
- Prepare a clear face reference if consistent portraits are required
- Prepare an external image model that accepts image prompts
git clone https://github.com/pyang5166/gbro-cover-design.git ~/.claude/skills/gbro-cover-design- 1Clone the complete repository
Run the git clone command from the README and place the complete directory in the host's Skills folder. Do not copy only SKILL.md.
- 2Complete first-run configuration
Choose whether to use a fixed face reference and identify the image model you normally use. The settings are stored in config.md.
- 3Send the article and answer three rounds
Give the article to the agent, then confirm the cover style and headline, reference material, and visual details.
- 4Generate the image and review the text
Send the resulting prompt and reference images to an external image model. Check Chinese typography, face consistency, and cropping before publishing.
After installation, send a short article to the agent and request a cover prompt. The Skill is loaded correctly if it asks about style and headline, reference images, and visual details in sequence, then returns a Chinese prompt for a 3:4 vertical cover.
- Keep the complete repository because references contains the templates and examples.
- The Skill produces prompts and does not call an image model directly.
- Review Chinese text in the final image manually.
Use cases
WeChat article covers
Extract a concise headline from a long article and choose a vertical composition that fits its information density and tone.
Xiaohongshu cover images
Quickly establish hierarchy and subject placement when the first image needs a strong headline, person, or product.
Tool tutorials and product reviews
Organize software screenshots, product images, and portraits into one detailed cover prompt.
Personal brand portrait covers
Reuse a fixed face reference with an image model that supports multiple references to improve visual consistency.
Assessment
The README, SKILL.md, and ten style-template paths show a practical workflow: three short rounds of questions still lead to concrete choices about composition, source material, and typography. The project offers a clear prompt workflow rather than a complete image service, so output quality still depends on the external model, reference images, and final manual review.
Why it may be useful
- The three-round flow is easy to follow and makes the required inputs clear.
- Ten templates cover common editorial cover patterns without overwhelming the user.
- The project is not tied to one image service and does not require an API key.
What to know first
- It does not create images directly, so an external image tool is still required.
- Image models often render Chinese headlines incorrectly and require manual review.
- Face consistency depends heavily on the chosen model and reference quality.
