How to use the Xiaohongshu Card agent skill (card-xiaohongshu)

What is an agent skill, and what does this one do?

An agent skill is a folder of instructions that an AI agent can load when a task matches it. This skill, named card-xiaohongshu, is one such instruction set. Once it is installed, the agent knows how to turn your content into Xiaohongshu-style cards.

The agent decides how many cards to make based on how much information you give it. Each card is 1080×1440 pixels (3:4). The first card is a cover with a large title, a one-line subtitle and an attention-grabbing tag such as 建议收藏. Middle cards each carry one idea with an emoji, short sentences and one or two examples. The last card summarises and ends with a call to action such as follow, save or comment. Each card also has a small watermark in the bottom-right corner.

• Cards are HTML-based, so each one can be screenshotted or viewed together as a scrollable carousel.
• The default style is soft, pastel and generous with white space, with large text for phone screens.
• The template only shapes layout and copy style. It does not check facts.

Install the card-xiaohongshu skill

Download the skill ZIP from the page where you found this guide. Then choose one of the two install routes below.

For a personal setup, unzip the file into ~/.claude/skills/ so the skill is available across your projects. To limit it to one project, unzip it into that project's .claude/skills/ folder instead.

If you use the Claude apps, you can upload the ZIP instead. Open Settings, go to Capabilities, then Skills, and add the skill there.

• Personal: ~/.claude/skills/
• Single project: the .claude/skills/ folder inside that project
• Claude apps: Settings → Capabilities → Skills

How to trigger the skill with natural requests

You do not need special syntax. Describe the content you want and say you want it as Xiaohongshu-style cards or a carousel. The source does not list fixed trigger phrases, so plain wording that matches the skill's purpose is the safest approach.

Give the agent the material in the request: the topic, your main points, and any examples. The more clearly your points are separated, the more naturally they map onto individual cards. If you want a specific number of cards, say so, though the skill normally sets the count from how much information you provide.

• Make 7 Xiaohongshu-style cards from these five tips about using AI editors.
• Turn this outline into a carousel of phone-friendly knowledge cards, with a cover and a closing call to action.
• Format my notes as tall Xiaohongshu cards in a soft pastel style.

Examples of what the output looks like

The skill ships with an example written in Markdown. It is a seven-card set titled around AI tool habits, styled in a Morandi-style gradient palette. Its cover carries the tag 建议收藏 · AI 工具党 必看, and its cards each cover a single habit, such as accepting that a prompt will not be perfect the first time, or reusing a saved template instead of rewriting it.

Use the example as a model for how much text to put on each card. Keep each card to one point, and keep sentences short enough to read on a phone.

Review, adjust and post your cards

Read every card before you publish. The skill shapes wording and layout, but it does not verify facts, so check any numbers, medical, legal or brand claims yourself. The template is tuned to 1080×1440 and Xiaohongshu conventions, so if you need a different size or another platform's rules, you will need to adjust the output yourself.

Take a screenshot of each card, or view the full set as a carousel, and check the text is readable at phone size before you post.

• Verify all facts and claims yourself.
• Check the size fits your target platform.
• Confirm the watermark shows the author name or date you want.
