Workflow
Step 0: Pre-check (Chinese Content)
Condition: Only execute if input file contains Chinese text.
Detection:
- Read input markdown file
- Check if content contains CJK characters (Chinese/Japanese/Korean)
- If no CJK content → skip to Step 1
Format Suggestion:
If CJK content detected AND baoyu-format-markdown skill is available:
Use AskUserQuestion to ask whether to format first. Formatting can fix:
- Bold markers with punctuation inside causing
**parse failures - CJK/English spacing issues
If user agrees: Invoke baoyu-format-markdown skill to format the file, then use formatted file as input.
If user declines: Continue with original file.
Step 1: Confirm Theme
Before converting, use AskUserQuestion to confirm the theme (unless user already specified):
| Theme | Description |
|---|---|
default (Recommended) | 经典主题 - 传统排版,标题居中带底边,二级标题白字彩底 |
grace | 优雅主题 - 文字阴影,圆角卡片,精致引用块 |
simple | 简洁主题 - 现代极简风,不对称圆角,清爽留白 |
Step 2: Convert
npx -y bun ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/main.ts <markdown_file> --theme <theme>
Step 3: Report Result
Display the output path from JSON result. If backup was created, mention it.
Usage
npx -y bun ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/main.ts <markdown_file> [options]
Options:
| Option | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
--theme <name> | Theme name (default, grace, simple) | default |
--title <title> | Override title from frontmatter | |
--keep-title | Keep the first heading in content | false (removed) |
--help | Show help |
Examples:
# Basic conversion (uses default theme, removes first heading)
npx -y bun ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/main.ts article.md
# With specific theme
npx -y bun ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/main.ts article.md --theme grace
# Keep the first heading in content
npx -y bun ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/main.ts article.md --keep-title
# Override title
npx -y bun ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/main.ts article.md --title "My Article"
Output
File location: Same directory as input markdown file.
- Input:
/path/to/article.md - Output:
/path/to/article.html
Conflict handling: If HTML file already exists, it will be backed up first:
- Backup:
/path/to/article.html.bak-YYYYMMDDHHMMSS
JSON output to stdout:
{
"title": "Article Title",
"author": "Author Name",
"summary": "Article summary...",
"htmlPath": "/path/to/article.html",
"backupPath": "/path/to/article.html.bak-20260128180000",
