# Blog Polish (zh-CN) + Image Pack

This skill takes a technical blog draft and turns it into a publish-ready package:

- **Polish**: spelling/grammar fixes + clarity improvements
- **Structure**: reorganize into **3–4 sections total** (not more)
- **Length**: final content **1000–1200 words**
- **Translation**: **English → Simplified Chinese**, while preserving:
  - technical terms like `skills`, `plugin`, `OpenClaw`, `ClawHub`
  - code blocks and commands (no translation inside code fences)
  - inline code spans (backticks) as-is unless obviously wrong
- **Images**: generate a **hero prompt** + **one prompt per section**, all in the same style/tone
- **Save**: write everything to `~/.openclaw/workspace/contentPolished/` using `yymmddhhmm-*` naming

## When to Use This Skill

When the user asks to polish a technical blog, translate it to Simplified Chinese, and create images, you MUST use this skill and follow the workflow below step by step.

Use this when:

- You already have a draft at `~/.openclaw/workspace/contentDraft/latestDraft.md`
- You want a polished zh-CN version without losing technical accuracy
- You want consistent illustrations for the article

## Defaults

If not provided via input:

- `draftPath`: `~/.openclaw/workspace/contentDraft/latestDraft.md`
- `outputDir`: `~/.openclaw/workspace/contentPolished/`
- `style`: `clean flat vector illustration, minimal isometric, software-engineering diagram vibe`
- `background`: `white background with subtle grid`
- `aspectRatioHero`: `16:9 horizontal`
- `aspectRatioSection`: `16:9 horizontal`

## Workflow Step-by-Step

### Step 0 — Resolve Paths and Timestamp

1. Resolve defaults:
   - `draftPath = input.draftPath || "~/.openclaw/workspace/contentDraft/latestDraft.md"`
   - `outputDir = input.outputDir || "~/.openclaw/workspace/contentPolished/"`
2. Create a timestamp prefix `ts` in **yymmddhhmm** format (Linux/macOS):

```
date +"%y%m%d%H"
```

1. Ensure output dir exists (shell is fine):

```
mkdir -p "~/.openclaw/workspace/contentPolished/"
```

### Step 1 — Read Draft Exactly

Read the draft content in full before editing anything:

`read_file --path {{draftPath}}`

### Step 2 — Extract Title, Topic, and Section Candidates

1. Identify:
   - Draft title (first `#` heading; otherwise infer a short title)
   - Main topic and intended audience
2. Plan a **3–4 section outline** (including intro/conclusion counts as sections if they have headings):
   - Prefer: short intro, 2–3 core sections, short wrap-up
   - If the draft is long, **merge** similar paragraphs
   - If the draft is messy, **reorder** paragraphs for a cleaner flow

### Step 3 — Polish English (Meaning First)

Before translating, make sure the English content makes sense:

- Fix misspellings, grammar, punctuation
- Paraphrase confusing sentences
- Add missing connective tissue *only* where the meaning is unclear
- **Do not reduce content** (no big deletions)

### Step 4 — Translate to Simplified Chinese (With Preservation Rules)

Translate the full draft into zh-CN with these hard rules:

- Keep **code fences** unchanged (commands/code stay exactly the same)
- Keep **inline code** (backticks) unchanged unless it contains an obvious typo
- Keep common technical terms in English (examples):
  - `skills`, `plugin`, `OpenClaw`, `ClawHub`, `CLI`, `Markdown`, `YAML`
- If a technical term has a standard Chinese translation but the English term is common in your audience, keep the English term and (optionally) add a short Chinese clarification once on first use

### Step 5 — Enforce Length (1000–1200 Words) Without Cutting Meaning

Target final length 800–1000 words (counting Chinese words approximately by rough equivalence).

To fit without “reducing content”:

- Tighten redundancy (same idea repeated)
- Use shorter sentences
- Prefer combining adjacent sentences that restate the same point

### Step 6 — Add Citations If You Introduce Outside Facts

If you add any information that is not clearly present in the draft:

- Add a short citation marker in text like: `[^1]`
- Add a footnotes section at the end:

```
## References
[^1]: Source title — URL
```

### Step 7 — Generate Image Prompts (Hero + Per Section)

Create **one single-line prompt** for:

- **Hero image** (for the whole post)
- **Each section** (exactly one per section heading)

Use this strict ordering and keep **the same style/tone** across all prompts:

```
[Section role] of [topic]: [subject] doing [action], in [style], [angle/composition], [lighting/color], [level of detail], [background], [aspect ratio]
```

Constraints:

- No text in the image (prefer icons/arrows)
- Keep a consistent palette (neutral + one accent color)
- Keep prompts to a single line each

### Step 8 — Save Outputs

1. Decide `subject`:
   - `subject = input.subject || slugify(title)` (lowercase, hyphens)
2. Write the polished markdown:
   - `{{outputDir}}/{{ts}}-{{subject}}.md`
3. Determine image filenames:
   - Hero: `{{ts}}-main.png`
   - Per section: `{{ts}}-section1.png`, `{{ts}}-section2.png`, ...
4. Save:
   - Write the polished `.md` file via `write_file`
   - For images:
     - If you have an image-generation tool available in your OpenClaw setup, generate and save the actual PNG/JPGs
     - Otherwise: still create an `image-prompts` block inside the markdown and return the intended filenames (so you can generate them later)

## Output Format (What You Return)

Return:

- `polishedPath`
- `imagePaths` (actual or intended)
- `imagePrompts` (single-line prompts in the same order)

Also print a short summary:

```
## Summary
- Sections: N
- Length: ~X words
- Translation: English → zh-CN (terms preserved)
- Images: 1 hero + N section prompts
```

## Example Invocation

User says:

- “Polish my latest draft, translate to zh-CN, and make images.”

You do:

- Read from `~/.openclaw/workspace/contentDraft/latestDraft.md`
- Produce `~/.openclaw/workspace/contentPolished/26031214xx-openclaw-skills.md`
- Produce `26031214xx-main.png` + `26031214xx-section1.png` ...

## Dependencies

None (pure Markdown in/out). Uses the same file read/write capability as your other skills.
