Chat Memo Update Generator

Chat Memo Update Generator

Overview

This skill generates two essential marketing/​documentation assets for Chat Memo version releases:

1. HTML Poster ({VERSION}.html) - A visually appealing 3:4 aspect ratio poster featuring the brand logo, version information, and a list of new features/​improvements
2. Update Description ({VERSION}-update.md) - A markdown document suitable for blog posts, newsletters, or social media announcements

The generated files follow the exact format and style of existing Chat Memo release materials (e.g., 1.1.2.html and 1.1.2-update.md), ensuring brand consistency across all communications.

Key Automation Features:

• Automatically creates output directory at project-root/​update-item/
• Automatically copies logo-single.png to ensure HTML poster displays correctly
• Defaults to creating all files in the standardized location

Core Capabilities

1. HTML Poster Generation

Output file: {VERSION}.html (e.g., 1.1.2.html)

Template: assets/​poster-template.html

Key features:

• 600px × 800px canvas with 3:4 aspect ratio
• Blurred logo background (opacity: 0.15, blur: 48px)
• Brand color scheme (primary blue: #3B45C4, primary purple: #5A4CFF)
• Dynamic number of feature cards (highlighted first card)
• Professional typography using Noto Sans SC font

Variable placeholders:

• {VERSION} - Version number (e.g., "1.1.2")
• {DATE} - Release date (e.g., "2025年12月3日")
• {MAIN_TITLE} - Main headline with optional line breaks
• {UPDATE_CARDS} - Generated HTML for feature cards

Example execution:

python3 scripts/​generate_files.py \
  --version 1.1.3 \
  --date "2025年12月10日" \
  --title "大模型支持升级\n新增 Claude 3.5 录制"

2. Markdown Update Description Generation

Output file: {VERSION}-update.md (e.g., 1.1.2-update.md)

Template: assets/​markdown-template.md

Sections:

1. Title/​Headline
2. Executive summary (2-3 sentences)
3. Feature highlights with numbered list
4. How to update (fixed template)
5. Feedback & community section (fixed template)

Variable placeholders:

• {HEADLINE} - Announcement title
• {EXECUTIVE_SUMMARY} - Brief introduction
• {FEATURE_LIST} - Formatted feature list

Example execution:

python3 scripts/​generate_files.py \
  --headline "支持 Claude 了！Chat Memo v1.1.3 发布" \
  --summary "重磅功能来啦！" \
  --features "🚀|新增 Claude 支持|现在可以自动保存 Claude 的对话记录了"

Workflow for Creating Update Materials

Step 1: Gather Release Information

Collect the following information from the user:

• Version number (required): e.g., "1.1.3"
• Release date (required): e.g., "2025年12月10日"
• Main headline (required): Short title for the poster, can include \n for line breaks
• Update announcement title (required): Full title for the markdown document
• Executive summary (required): 2-3 sentence overview
• Feature list (required): One or more features in the format: ICON|TITLE|DESCRIPTION

Feature format details:

• Use | as delimiter (pipe character)
• ICON: Emoji representation (e.g., 🚀, ✨, 🔧)
• TITLE: Feature name (2-10 characters)
• DESCRIPTION: Feature details (1-2 sentences)
• First feature should be the most important (gets highlighted)

Step 2: Run the Generation Script

The script automatically handles directory creation and logo copying. Execute with required parameters:

python3 scripts/​generate_files.py \
  --version VERSION \
  --date "DATE" \
  --title "HEADLINE" \
  --headline "MARKDOWN_TITLE" \
  --summary "SUMMARY" \
  --features "ICON1|TITLE1|DESC1" \
             "ICON2|TITLE2|DESC2" \
             "ICON3|TITLE3|DESC3"

What the script does automatically:

• ✅ Creates the update-item/ directory at project-root/​update-item/
• ✅ Copies logo-single.png to ensure the HTML poster displays correctly
• ✅ Generates all files in the standardized location
• ✅ Reports the status of each operation

Step 3: Review Generated Files

The script produces files in <project-root>/​update-item/:

1. {VERSION}.html - Open in a browser to verify visual appearance
2. {VERSION}-update.md - Review content for accuracy and tone
3. logo-single.png - Automatically copied for the HTML poster

Default location: /​Users/​eze/​Desktop/​Chat-Memo-Project/官网/​chat-memo-website/​updates-pic/​update-item/

Checklist:

• First card has highlight class
• Logo displays correctly (both in header and blurred background)
• Version number appears in both files
• Date format is correct
• All feature cards render properly
• Markdown has proper spacing and formatting
• logo-single.png is present in output directory

Step 4: Refine if Necessary

If adjustments are needed:

• Visual changes: Edit the HTML file or modify assets/​poster-template.html
• Content changes: Edit the Markdown file or modify assets/​markdown-template.md
• Style changes: Update CSS in the HTML template or adjust the generation script

Note: For recurring style preferences, update the templates rather than individual generated files.

Custom Output Location: If you need to output to a different directory, use the --output flag:

# Custom output directory
python3 scripts/​generate_files.py --output ./​my-custom-dir ...

# Absolute path
python3 scripts/​generate_files.py --output /​path/​to/​output ...

When using custom output locations, the script will still automatically create the directory and copy the logo file.

Style Guidelines

Visual Design (HTML Poster)

• Background: Blurred logo with 15% opacity
• Primary colors: Blue (#3B45C4) and Purple (#5A4CFF)
• Card design: White background with backdrop blur, 20px border radius
• Typography: Noto Sans SC font family
• Layout: Left-aligned logo, right-aligned version tag

Writing Tone (Markdown Update)

Use a relaxed, friendly style:

• Include emojis: 🚀, 🎉, ✨, 🔧, 💡, etc.
• Use conversational language: "重磅功能来啦！" instead of "重大功能更新"
• Be concise but warm: Short paragraphs, friendly tone
• Focus on user benefits: Explain what the feature does for the user
• First feature gets extra attention: Most important update listed first

Example of effective feature description:

🚀 新增 Kimi 平台支持
现在 Chat Memo 也能自动保存 Kimi 的对话记录了，灵感不再丢失，每一句对话都将被妥善保管。

Less effective (too formal):

新增对 Kimi 平台的支持
已完成 Kimi 平台的集成，支持自动保存功能。

Resources

Templates

• Poster HTML Template: assets/​poster-template.html

  • Contains placeholders: {VERSION}, {DATE}, {MAIN_TITLE}, {UPDATE_CARDS}
  • Source reference: assets/​poster-reference.html (full 1.1.2.html example)

• Markdown Template: assets/​markdown-template.md

Brand Assets

• Logo file: assets/​logo-single.png
  • Important: This logo file is required for the HTML poster to display correctly
  • Used in both the header and blurred background
  • Ensure this file is present in the same directory as generated HTML files

How to use: When generating an HTML poster, the logo-single.png file must be in the same directory as the generated {VERSION}.html file for the logo to display properly.

Common Issues and Solutions

Template files not found

Error: ❌ 模板文件不存在

Solution: Ensure the script is run from the skill directory or that template files exist in the expected location.

Template directory: /​Users/​eze/​Desktop/​Chat-Memo-Project/官网/​chat-memo-website/​updates-pic/​.claude/​skills/​chatmemo-update/​assets

Invalid feature format

Error: ❌ 功能格式错误

Solution: Features must use format: ICON|TITLE|DESCRIPTION

Example: 🚀|新增 Kimi 支持|终于等到你！现在可以自动保存 Kimi 的对话记录了

File encoding issues

Solution: The script uses UTF-8 encoding. Ensure your terminal supports UTF-8 for proper emoji display.

Notes

• Always use the same version number for both files
• The first feature gets highlight class automatically
• Automatic logo handling: The script automatically copies logo-single.png from the project root to the output directory. No manual copying is required.
• Default output location: Files are saved to project-root/​update-item/ by default
• Both output files are independent and can be edited separately after generation
• For recurring releases, consider creating a simple wrapper script with common parameters

Logo File Location

The script expects logo-single.png to be located in the project root directory (the directory containing updates-pic/). The script will:

1. Automatically detect the project root
2. Copy the logo file to the output directory
3. Display a warning if the logo cannot be found

If you need to use a custom logo location, modify the get_project_root() function in scripts/​generate_files.py.

Output Directory Structure

After running the script, the following structure is created:

project-root/
├── updates-pic/
│   ├── .claude/
│   ├── logo-single.png      # Source logo file
│   ├── 1.1.2.html           # Previous releases
│   └── update-item/         # ⬅️ Generated files go here
│       ├── logo-single.png  # Copied automatically
│       ├── 1.1.3.html       # Generated poster
│       └── 1.1.3-update.md  # Generated description

This keeps all release files organized in a dedicated directory while maintaining access to the logo file.
