Xiaohongshu Content Image Generator

Create cover images and content graphics optimized for Xiaohongshu's recommendation algorithm and visual aesthetic standards.

Workflow

When a user wants to create Xiaohongshu content images:

Step 1: Understand the Business Context

Ask (if not provided):

What product/service/topic? (e.g., coffee, skincare, travel)
What type of note? (种草/测评/教程/合集/日常分享)
Target audience? (defaults based on category, see references/algorithm.md)

Step 2: Apply Algorithm-Aware Design Decisions

Read references/algorithm.md for:

Title formula selection (数字型/疑问型/对比型/紧迫型)
Cover design patterns that drive click-through
Content type matching to audience expectations
Avoid patterns that trigger suppression (敏感词, 过度营销)

Step 3: Apply Visual Style

Read references/design-style.md for:

Style selection based on category (杂志风/手写感/干净利落/对比冲击)
Color palette by category
Typography and layout rules
The 3-second rule for cover stopping power

Step 4: Generate with Rendshot

Option A — Use existing template:

list_templates({ platform: "xiaohongshu", q: "<category keyword>" })
get_template({ template_id: "tpl_xxx" })
generate_image({
  template_id: "tpl_xxx",
  variables: { title: "...", ... }
})

Option B — AI generate from prompt:

generate_image({
  prompt: "<detailed design prompt based on Steps 1-3>",
  platform: "xiaohongshu",   // 1080x1440
  locale: "zh"
})

The prompt should encode your design decisions:

generate_image({
  prompt: "手工皂种草笔记封面，温暖大地色调，中央大标题'三步入门冷制皂'，副标题'新手也能做出专柜级手工皂'，底部产品摆拍留白区域，杂志风排版，衬线标题字体",
  platform: "xiaohongshu",
  locale: "zh"
})

Option C — Wide format:

generate_image({
  prompt: "...",
  platform: "xiaohongshu_wide",  // 1080x810
  locale: "zh"
})

Step 5: Save Good Results

create_template({
  name: "手工皂种草封面",
  html: "<returned html>",
  variables: [...],
  platform: "xiaohongshu",
  category: "lifestyle",
  tags: ["handmade", "soap", "tutorial"]
})
