What it does

Once installed, the agent can publish articles (HTML, Markdown or TXT, with images kept in their original positions) and single videos to Zhihu, a Chinese Q&A and publishing platform, by calling the social-auto-upload project's sau command-line tool instead of writing its own upload code. It can also check that a saved login matches the account and open a published work's link to confirm its title. Login passwords and verification codes are entered by you in the login window, and the session stays on your machine.

Great for

  • Chinese-language creators who publish articles or videos to Zhihu and want to automate repeat posting
  • Teams already using the social-auto-upload tool who want an agent to drive the Zhihu commands
  • People who want a preview step (--prepare-only) before anything goes live

Skip it if

  • Users who need features the skill says are unsupported, such as custom covers, column inclusion, Zhihu topic selection, or document import, since those will not be handled
  • Unattended scheduled publishing, because --schedule is marked experimental and not guaranteed to work; a failed or unknown submission could also create duplicate posts if retried carelessly
  • Anyone without the sau tool installed and logged in to a Zhihu account, since the skill cannot publish without them

Try asking

  • “Publish my Markdown article articles/intro.md to Zhihu with the title 'My Intro', but only prepare it first so I can review it”
  • “Check that my saved Zhihu session for the creator account is still logged in”
  • “Upload video.mp4 to Zhihu as an original video with a description and the education category”
  • “Verify the published Zhihu link in my result file matches the expected title”

Get better results

  • Always run with --prepare-only first and review the draft before removing the flag, since removing it publishes for real.
  • Specify --category and --video-mark explicitly for non-interactive runs so the agent does not stop at the live menu.
  • If a publish result is unclear, check the Zhihu creator center by title and time before retrying, to avoid duplicate posts.
