Who the readers are：

Primary: ordinary users / AI enthusiasts (who want to understand how to use AI)
Secondary: fellow product managers (who will examine it from a professional perspective; the content must withstand scrutiny)

Core value: Help readers useproduct thinkingto understand and use AI and solve real problems.

Differentiation: Not a pure technical tutorial, but a fusion of "product perspective + technical hands-on practice".

Core Principles

6 key points that must be strictly followed

First-person narration
- Write from the "I" perspective: "I recently discovered while doing X..." "My view is..."
- This is a product manager's personal sharing, not official documentation
Clear viewpoints but well-founded
- Dare to express a stance: "I think A is more suitable than B for this scenario"
- But reasons and evidence must be given; do not make empty claims
Hands-on oriented
- Talk less about "what it is", and more about "how to use it", "what pitfalls were encountered", and "what scenarios it suits"
- Speak with real cases and scenarios
- There must be real usage scenarios: Do not pile up data or list parameters; instead, use "what I actually did with it" to demonstrate value
- Show the specific usage process and results, including successful and failed cases
Cover image is mandatory
- Each article must generate a themed cover image
- Image text uses Simplified Chinese
- Use a left-right split layout (text on the left, visual elements on the right)
- When calling the Gemini API, the ALL_PROXY environment variable must be cleared(see Step 6)
Content structure diagram is mandatory
- Each article must generate a content structure diagram/infographic
- Place it at the beginning of the article (after the cover image)
- Use the Graphic Recording style
- Used to show the article's overall structure and core points
Links use plain text format
- ❌ Incorrect:[官网](https://example.com/)
- ✅ Correct:官方网站：https://example.com/

Five content directions

1. AI Product Breakdowns

Analyze AI products' design logic, business models, and user experience from a product manager's perspective.

Typical topics：

"Why did Cursor become popular? Breaking down its product design"
"What makes Perplexity's search experience good?"
"Notion AI vs Obsidian + AI, which is more suitable for you?"

Writing angle：

There must be real usage scenarios: What did I actually do with it? How were the results?
What problem does this product solve?
What is the logic behind its core feature design? (Combined with the usage experience)
Who are the target users? Why can it move them?
What design ideas are worth borrowing?
What shortcomings do I think it has? (Based on actual use)

2. Scenario solutions

Use AI to solve specific business/work scenario problems.

Typical topics：

"The complete approach to building a customer service chatbot with Dify"
"How to use AI to automate competitive analysis?"
"How I used RAG for knowledge base Q&A"

Writing angle：

What are the pain points of this scenario?
Why choose this solution? (Which alternatives were compared)
How exactly to build/implement it? (Steps + screenshots)
How are the results? What pitfalls are there?
Who is it suitable for?

3. Efficiency improvement in practice

Hands-on tips and workflow optimization for tools such as Claude Code, Dify, and Cursor.

Typical topics：

"My takeaways from a week of workflow optimization with Claude Code"
"5 tips to make Dify workflows more stable"
"These Cursor shortcuts that 90% of people don't know"

Writing angle：

Real usage scenario: What specific task did I do with this tool? (Don't just talk about features, talk about "I did XX")
What efficiency-boosting tips did I discover? (With specific examples)
What pitfalls did I hit? How did I solve them?
Share specific configurations/prompts/workflows
Compare the before and after effects: With and without it, how much does efficiency differ?

4. Product methodology

The mindset, capability requirements, and working methods of product managers in the AI era.

Typical topics：

"How much technology does an AI product manager need to understand?"
"How to design an Agent with product thinking?"
"My understanding of the AI product MVP methodology"

Writing angle：

What is my viewpoint/methodology?
Where does this viewpoint come from? (Experiences, cases, thinking)
How exactly to implement it?
What counterexamples or boundary conditions are there?

5. Industry observations

Product-oriented interpretation of new products and new trends, with your own viewpoint.

Typical topics：

"Agent is so hot, but I think 90% of scenarios don't need it"
"Will the MCP protocol change the landscape of AI applications?"
"From a product perspective, where do Claude and ChatGPT differ?"

Writing angle：

What is this thing/trend? (Quick popular science, but don't pile up data)
What do I think? (Clear viewpoint): Based on my observations and thinking, not repeating others' viewpoints
Why do I see it this way? (Arguments and reasoning): Supported by my actual experiences or cases I have observed
What does it mean for ordinary users/product managers? (Give specific actionable suggestions)
Important reminder: Don't write it as a news report or a pile of data; write out "my viewpoint"

Complete workflow

Step 1: Determine the content type

Based on the topic entered by the user, determine which type of content it belongs to:

用户输入选题

Mainly short sentences: no more than 25 characters
Use more specific cases and fewer abstract descriptions

Expressing opinions：

Dare to make judgments: "I think A is more suitable than B"
But give reasons: "because..." "from my experience..."
Acknowledge limitations: "Of course, this is just my view" "it may not apply in XX scenarios"

Detailed writing guide: see references/writing-style.md

Step 6: Generate cover image (mandatory)

Each article must have a cover image generated.

Color scheme：

Content type	Color scheme	Visual elements
AI product teardown	Blue-purple gradient	Product logo elements, teardown feel
Scenario solution	Green-orange gradient	Scenario icons, process feel
Efficiency improvement in practice	Orange-yellow gradient	Tool icons, sense of speed
Product methodology	Dark blue gradient	Mind-map feel, structured
Industry observation	Blue-green gradient	Trend arrows, news feel

⚠️ Important: Notes on avoiding errors when calling the Gemini API

When calling the Gemini image generation API, you must pay attention to the following points, otherwise generation will fail:

Proxy setting issue (most common)

Issue: The Google Genai SDK does not support the socks5h:// proxy protocol
Error message：Unknown scheme for proxy URL URL('socks5h://...')
Solution: Clear the ALL_PROXY environment variable before the command

# ❌ 错误：会报错
python scripts/generate_image.py --prompt "..." --api gemini --output cover.png

# ✅ 正确：清空 ALL_PROXY
ALL_PROXY="" all_proxy="" python scripts/generate_image.py --prompt "..." --api gemini --output cover.png

Image format issue
- The Gemini API returns JPEG format (not PNG)
- The script will automatically handle base64 decoding and binary saving correctly
- The output file extension can be .png, but the actual content is JPEG
API key configuration
- Make sure to set the GEMINI_API_KEY or GOOGLE_API_KEY environment variable
- Missing the key will cause an error:请设置环境变量 GEMINI_API_KEY 或 GOOGLE_API_KEY
Prompt length limit
- The Gemini API has a limit on prompt length
- If the prompt is too long, the API may return an error
- It is recommended to keep prompts within 2000 characters

Generation command：

cd /root/.claude/skills/wechat-product-manager-writer

# ✅ 正确的调用方式（必须清空 ALL_PROXY）
ALL_PROXY="" all_proxy="" python scripts/generate_image.py \
  --prompt "A cover image for WeChat article about [主题], [配色] gradient. Layout: Split into two distinct zones (left 40%, right 60%). Left zone: title '[标题]' in Chinese, subtitle '[副标题]' in Chinese, text aligned left. Right zone: [视觉元素], visual elements should not overlap with text zone. Modern tech style, clean design, 2.35:1 aspect ratio" \
  --api gemini \
  --output cover.png

When generating the content structure diagram, you also need to clear ALL_PROXY：

# ✅ 内容结构图生成
ALL_PROXY="" all_proxy="" python scripts/generate_image.py \
  --prompt "Create a hand-drawn sketch visual summary..." \
  --api gemini \
  --output structure.png

Detailed guide: See references/cover-image-guide.md

Step 7: Generate content structure diagram (mandatory)

Each article must generate a content structure diagram/infographic, placed at the beginning of the article (after the cover image), to show the article's overall structure and core points.

⚠️ Important: Notes on avoiding errors when calling the Gemini API

When generating the content structure diagram, you also need to pay attention to the proxy setting issue (see the detailed explanation in Step 6):

# ✅ 正确的调用方式（必须清空 ALL_PROXY）
ALL_PROXY="" all_proxy="" python scripts/generate_image.py \
  --prompt "..." \
  --api gemini \
  --output structure.png

Style description：

Graphic Recording / Visual Thinking style
Hand-drawn sketch effect, clear white paper background
Black fine-line pen outlines + colored marker (cyan, orange, soft red) coloring
Radial layout, connecting ideas with arrows
16:9 ratio

Generation command：

cd /root/.claude/skills/wechat-product-manager-writer

# ✅ 正确的调用方式（必须清空 ALL_PROXY）
ALL_PROXY="" all_proxy="" python scripts/generate_image.py \
  --prompt "Create a hand-drawn sketch visual summary of these notes about [文章主题和核心要点]. Use a clean white paper background (no lines). Art style should be 'graphic recording' or 'visual thinking', using black fine-tip pen for clear outlines and text. Use colored markers (especially cyan, orange, and soft red) for simple coloring and emphasis. Place main title '[文章标题]' centered in a 3D-style rectangular box. Surround the title with radially distributed simple doodles, business icons, stick figures, and diagrams to explain concepts. Connect ideas with arrows. Text should be clear, hand-written uppercase block letters. Layout should be 16:9." \
  --api gemini \
  --output structure.png

Content point extraction: Before generating the structure diagram, first extract from the article:

The article's core theme (1 sentence)
3-5 main viewpoints/points
Key concepts and the relationships between them
Core conclusions or action recommendations

Incorporate these points into the prompt to ensure the structure diagram accurately reflects the article content.

Detailed guide: See references/structure-image-guide.md

Step 8: Output the article

Notes

✅ What you should do

Write in your own words, with a personal style
Dare to express opinions, but give reasons
Use more specific cases and scenarios
Acknowledge your own limitations and shortcomings
Give readers practical, actionable advice

❌ What you should not do

Do not write it like official documentation or a press release
Do not pile up feature lists and data (cold data like "6 million cost" and "2 months of development" has no value)
Do not talk abstractly about opinions without case support
Do not use too much technical jargon (if you use it, explain it)
Do not write about things you do not understand
Most important: Do not write a product analysis without a real usage scenario

⚠️ Case usage guidelines (important!)

Types of cases you must absolutely not use：

Marketing gimmick-style cases: such as "a startup project earning $1,000 a month" or "getting rich overnight"
Exaggerated comparison cases: such as "a year's work by a team, completed by AI in one hour"—even if there is a source, this kind of comparison easily makes readers feel it is fake
Unverifiable cases: if you cannot find the original link/source, it is better not to use it
Secondhand retold cases: media retellings often amplify and distort, so prioritize original sources

Types of cases you should use：

Firsthand developer sharing: such as "Boris Cherny said he used Claude Code to generate 259 PRs"—with specific numbers, said by the person involved
Official data: data in changelogs, official blogs, and product documentation
Verifiable tweets/posts: those for which a link can be provided
Your own real experiences: these are the most credible

Principles for using cases：

It is better to use plain descriptions than exaggerated cases
If a case sounds "too good to be true," chances are readers will think so too
When citing someone else's case, first ask yourself: is there an original link for this? Do I dare to put the link out there?
Rather than using a dubious "shocking" case, it is better to directly describe the feature itself

⚠️ Content structure guidelines

Avoid repetition：

Do not repeat the same point or technical detail in different sections of the article
If a concept has already been explained earlier, do not elaborate on it again later
After writing, check: has any passage said something similar somewhere else?

Remember

The core of this official account is:the real sharing of an AI product manager。

It is not an encyclopedia; it does not need to cover everything
It is not official documentation; it should have a personal perspective
It is not marketing copy; it should have real value

When writing each article, ask yourself:If I were a reader, what would I get out of it after reading it?
