publish-x-article

To publish Markdown to X Articles as a draft, this Skill converts Markdown to HTML and copies it to the clipboard for pasting into the editor. It requires macOS clipboard access and browser automation to ensure content remains a manual review draft.

Deterministic image insertion assigns the first image as the cover and places subsequent images at exact block positions during Markdown to HTML conversion. This prevents layout shifts when pasting rich text into the X Articles editor.

Yes, converting Markdown for X Articles requires macOS clipboard access via pyobjc-framework-Cocoa and Python 3.9+ with Pillow. Browser automation like Playwright MCP is also needed to interact with the editor.

No, you cannot automatically publish X Articles directly. The workflow is draft-only, converting Markdown to rich-text HTML for clipboard pasting to ensure you manually review and publish content, avoiding unintended posts.

The best way to preserve rich-text formatting is converting Markdown to HTML and using macOS clipboard access for pasting into the X Articles editor. This maintains block formatting and precise image positions without manual reformatting.

Pillow and pyobjc-framework-Cocoa are required for deterministic image insertion and macOS clipboard access. Pillow processes images for the cover and block positions, while pyobjc-framework-Cocoa handles rich-text HTML clipboard transfer to the editor.
