Creates platform-native content optimized for the unique Xiaohongshu algorithm, which prioritizes saves over likes. Bilingual Chinese/English output with cultural sensitivity.

- Use when adapting international brand content for the Chinese market via Xiaohongshu

## How It Works

### Step 1: Analyze the Topic

Understand the target audience, product, or message. Identify primary keywords for Xiaohongshu's search algorithm. Research trending formats in the relevant category.

### Step 2: Choose the Content Format

Select from proven formats based on the topic:

| Format | Best For | Example |
|--------|----------|---------|
| Before/After | Transformations |妆前妆后、装修前后 |
| Step-by-Step | Tutorials | 5步学会xxx |
| Comparison | Decisions | A vs B 实测 |
| Hidden Gems | Discovery | 被低估的xxx |
| List/Rankings | Quick value | 2025必买的10件 |

### Step 3: Generate the Content Package

For each post, provide:
1. **Cover Image Brief** - Visual concept, text overlay under 10 chars, color mood
2. **Title** (2-3 options) - Primary keyword in first 8 chars, emotional trigger, 18-22 chars optimal
3. **Body Content** - Hook sentence, short paragraphs, strategic emoji, highlighted key info, CTA
4. **Hashtags** - 3-5 mix of high-volume and niche tags
5. **Comment Engagement Plan** - Seed comments and anticipated Q&A

### Step 4: Optimize for the Algorithm

Apply these ranking factors in priority order:
1. Save rate - number one ranking signal, content must be reference-worthy
2. Click-through rate - driven by cover image plus title
3. Comment depth - conversation quality over count
4. Completion rate - users who read to the end

## Examples

### Example 1: Beauty Product Review

Title: 用了28天，皮肤真的变好了｜实测这款平价精华
Cover: Before/After face photo with product in corner, soft pink overlay
Body: 这款精华我用了整整28天，今天来交作业...
Hashtags: #平价护肤 #精华推荐 #28天打卡
Seed Comment: "姐妹们，我油皮可以用吗？"

### Example 2: Travel Destination

Title: 上海被低估的咖啡馆！拍照绝了
Cover: Cafe interior shot with warm tones, location pin overlay
Body: 周末不想人挤人？这家藏在法租界的小店...
Hashtags: #上海咖啡 #周末去哪 #小众探店
Seed Comment: "地址在哪里呀？"

## Best Practices

- Sound like a real person sharing a discovery, not a brand broadcasting
- Front-load keywords in titles (first 8 characters)
- Use numbers and specific results in titles
- Keep paragraphs to 2-3 sentences max
- Include a clear save-worthy takeaway
- Do not use corporate marketing language
- Do not ignore mobile formatting (most users are on phones)
- Do not post without relevant hashtags

## Limitations

- This skill generates text content strategy; actual image/video creation requires additional tools
- Trending topics and algorithm details may shift; always validate with current platform data
- Cultural nuances in specific sub-communities may require human review

## Security and Safety Notes

- This skill generates content strategy and copy. It does not access Xiaohongshu APIs or user accounts.
- All content should comply with Chinese advertising law and platform community guidelines.

## Common Pitfalls

- **Problem:** Low engagement despite good content
  **Solution:** Check title CTR - the cover image plus title combo drives 80 percent of click-through. A/B test 2-3 title options.

- **Problem:** Content gets flagged or removed
  **Solution:** Avoid absolute claims and ensure product reviews disclose sponsorships per platform rules.
