## What it does

The skill works in two passes. First you study what already spread: search niche keywords on Xiaohongshu, filter by popularity, then fill a template for each post — format, content type, cover style, title, hook, value, emotional trigger, share elements. Twenty posts in, the repeated moves become obvious.

Then it hands you title formulas: number plus benefit, transformation with a timeline, negative hook with a fix, insider-knowledge promise, specific result with a deadline. Covers get their own section — big text, high contrast, short headline. A quick-reference table maps each viral element to its impact and how hard it is to pull off.

The skill also states where it does not belong: evergreen educational content, community engagement, and steady posting for an existing audience all have different goals. The cover-design section cuts off partway through the source, so do not expect a complete visual breakdown. Install is one `npx skills add` command, and the skill lands at `~/.claude/skills/viral-creation/SKILL.md`.
