AI Article Factory 🏭✍️

CI

A Claude Code Skill that turns any material, topic, or product into publish-ready, illustrated, SEO + GEO-optimized articles — automated end-to-end, in Markdown + Word, with multi-platform copy (website / LinkedIn / X).

The human only reviews, confirms, and publishes. The AI does the rest: filing, topic selection, scheduling, drafting, figures, fact-checking, optimization, export, and multi-platform repurposing.

一句话:任意素材 → 自动建档、选题、排期、创作、配图、校准、生成多平台文案。人只负责审核、确认、发布。

Why (first principles)

Writing a good article is actually a standardizable assembly line: each station has a defined input, output, and pass/fail gate — so it can be automated, while humans guard the gates.

  • Found + trusted — content exists to give the most complete, credible, machine-parseable answer to one intent.
  • SEO + GEO together — rank in Google and get cited by ChatGPT / Perplexity / AI Overviews. Shared optimum: every heading is an independently answerable question.
  • Evidence before sentences — every claim is backed by a primary source before it's written.
  • Single-piece flow — one article = one self-contained folder.
  • PDCA — Plan (topic/schedule) → Do (create) → Check (QA) → Act (publish + monitor + refresh). Each loop feeds the next.

What it does — the 11-stage pipeline

P0 product profile → P1 topic → P2 evidence ledger★ → P3 angle → P4 outline → P5 draft
→ P6 visuals → P7 SEO/GEO → P8 QA★ → P9 export MD+Word → P10 publish → P11 monitor

★ = hard gate (human confirm / auto-block).

Install

This is a Claude Code skill. Drop it into your skills directory:

# Option A: clone into your project/user skills folder
git clone https://github.com/weitzu-com/ai-article-factory \
  ~/.claude/skills/ai-article-factory

# Option B: via the skills CLI (Claude Code & others)
npx -y skills@latest add weitzu-com/ai-article-factory

Dependencies (layered — the core path needs none)

A plain Markdown draft works with zero dependencies. Add tools only for the extras:

Want Install If missing
Word (.docx) export brew install pandoc skip — you still get Markdown
Flow/structure figures npm install -g @mermaid-js/mermaid-cli render-figures.sh auto-skips .mmd
Data figures python3 -m pip install matplotlib numpy skip — use a Markdown table instead

First-time on a clean Mac you need Homebrew (for pandoc) and Node (for mmdc). The cover image is generated by you with any image tool and dropped into assets/img/cover.png — a placeholder is used until then, so it never blocks.

Self-contained — bundled worker skills (no external pack required)

This is a suite: the orchestrator + six first-party worker skills under skills/ that run the whole core pipeline standalone:

Stage Skill Owns
P1–P2 article-research topic brief · intent/SERP · content gap · evidence ledger
P5 article-write answer-first draft · anti-AI-slop · evidence tagging
P6 article-visuals Mermaid + matplotlib figures + cover (图文并茂)
P7 article-optimize SEO + GEO + JSON-LD schema + internal links
P8 article-qa CORE-EEAT scoring + fact reconciliation (ship gate)
P9 article-export MD → Word (.docx), images embedded

Optional enhancement (not required): aaron-he-zhu/seo-geo-claude-skills + inhouseseo/superseo-skills add deeper research data and scoring.

npx -y skills@latest add aaron-he-zhu/seo-geo-claude-skills   # optional
npx -y skills@latest add inhouseseo/superseo-skills           # optional

Use — the default "water" path

cd into your own project folder first (so output doesn't land inside the skill install), then just say what you want — the skill auto-triggers and does the rest:

"Write an article about <product> for my website."
"Scan ~/Downloads/research/ and give me 3 topic ideas, then write the best one."
"用这个文件夹里的资料,写一篇面向采购经理的选型指南。"

What happens (you only review, confirm, publish):

your sentence / materials
  → AI auto-files + drafts a blueprint        (confirm ①, optional)
  → AI writes the draft (every fact sourced)
  → AI self-checks + figures + export          (confirm ②: glance & approve)
  → 文章.md  +  文章.docx                       (ready to publish)

Defaults stay out of your way: AI infers the profile (no forms to fill), cover uses a placeholder, only the website version is produced unless you ask for LinkedIn/X. Want the full 11-stage control or multi-platform copy? Just say so.

CLI (optional, for power users):

cd ~/my-content-project                                    # output lands here
bash <skill>/scripts/new-article.sh my-topic-slug          # scaffold articles/<date-slug>/
bash <skill>/scripts/render-figures.sh articles/<date-slug>/
bash <skill>/scripts/export.sh articles/<date-slug>/ my-topic-slug

  • MCP: filesystem (materials from any path), web fetch/search, Google Drive, Notion, WordPress.
  • Tools: pandoc (Word), mermaid-cli + matplotlib (figures).
  • Claude Code: /schedule & /loop (automation), hooks (evidence gate), subagents (independent QA).
  • Optional: the SEO/GEO companion packs for deeper research/scoring.

See references/ and each skills/*/SKILL.md for full detail.

Security

render-figures.sh executes the *.py / *.mmd figure sources under an article's assets/src/, and export.sh runs pandoc on its Markdown. These are your files by design — don't run the scripts on an untrusted article folder you didn't create. Inputs are otherwise hardened: the slug and date args are strictly validated (no spaces/unicode/newlines/path-traversal), and scripts quote all variables.
