Codex and Claude Code friendly CLI for turning public hot lists into original short-video plans and manual publish packs.

It is designed for agent workflows: every command emits stable JSON, writes predictable files, and avoids platform login, cookies, account automation, payment links, and automatic publishing.

Directly from GitHub:

python -m pip install git+https://github.com/sddvacav/codex-hot-media.git

Or from a clone:

git clone https://github.com/sddvacav/codex-hot-media.git
cd codex-hot-media
python -m pip install -e .

Then check:

codex-hot-media --json doctor
codex-hot-media --json sources
codex-hot-media --json agent-guide

Agent integration files:

• Codex skill: .codex/skills/codex-hot-media/SKILL.md
• Claude Code memory: CLAUDE.md
• Claude Code slash command: .claude/commands/hot-media.md
• Shared guide: AGENT_GUIDE.md
• Optional AutoCLI bridge: docs/AUTOCLI_INTEGRATION.md

Project publishing page:

• docs/site/index.html
• Image2 construction workflow: docs/GITHUB_RELEASE_IMAGE2_WORKFLOW.md
• Image2 prompt records: assets/image2/prompts/

Run the default public Bilibili pipeline:

codex-hot-media --json run --source bilibili --pages 2 --page-size 20 --top-n 8 --out-dir outputs

If Bilibili returns an anti-abuse code, reduce --pages / --page-size or switch to a self-hosted DailyHotApi/RSSHub route. The CLI uses browser-like headers but does not use cookies or login state.

This creates:

• outputs/data/hot_items_latest.json
• outputs/data/hot_items_latest.md
• outputs/video_plan_from_hot_latest.json
• outputs/video_plan_from_hot_latest.md
• outputs/publish_pack/publish_pack_latest.json
• outputs/publish_pack/publish_pack_latest.md
• outputs/publish_pack/publish_log_template.csv
• outputs/dashboard.html

codex-hot-media --json doctor
codex-hot-media --json sources
codex-hot-media --json agent-guide
codex-hot-media --json autocli-profiles
codex-hot-media --json image2-gate
codex-hot-media --json collect --source bilibili --pages 3 --page-size 20 --out-dir outputs/data --prefix hot_items
codex-hot-media --json plan --input outputs/data/hot_items_latest.json --top-n 10 --out-dir outputs
codex-hot-media --json pack --plan outputs/video_plan_from_hot_latest.json --out-dir outputs
codex-hot-media --json dashboard --plan outputs/video_plan_from_hot_latest.json --pack outputs/publish_pack/publish_pack_latest.json --out outputs/dashboard.html

AutoCLI bridge:

# Public-mode profile. Does not need Chrome.
codex-hot-media --json run --source autocli --autocli-profile hackernews-top --limit 10 --top-n 5 --out-dir outputs

# Browser-session profiles. Require AutoCLI, Chrome, the AutoCLI Chrome extension, and your own logged-in session.
codex-hot-media --json collect --source autocli --autocli-profile zhihu-hot --limit 10 --out-dir outputs/data --prefix zhihu_hot
codex-hot-media --json collect --source autocli --autocli-profile weibo-hot --limit 10 --out-dir outputs/data --prefix weibo_hot
codex-hot-media --json collect --source autocli --autocli-profile xiaohongshu-search --query AI --limit 10 --out-dir outputs/data --prefix xhs_ai
codex-hot-media --json collect --source autocli --autocli-profile twitter-search --query "AI video tools" --limit 10 --out-dir outputs/data --prefix x_ai

The AutoCLI bridge is optional. If autocli is not installed, doctor and autocli-profiles still work and report the missing binary. Install from nashsu/AutoCLI releases, then put autocli.exe on PATH.

Write-action profiles are blocked by default. For example, twitter-post only runs through autocli-run when the user explicitly requests the action and --allow-write-action is present. It is not available as a collect source.

Manual import:

codex-hot-media --json import-text --input examples/manual_hot_titles.txt --source-name manual --out-dir outputs/data --prefix manual_hot
codex-hot-media --json plan --input outputs/data/manual_hot_latest.json --top-n 5 --out-dir outputs
codex-hot-media --json pack --plan outputs/video_plan_from_hot_latest.json --out-dir outputs

Daily 5-minute manual hot sites:

• NewsNow: https://newsnow.busiyi.world
• TopHub Tech: https://tophub.today/c/tech
• SoPilot hot tweets: https://sopilot.net/zh/hot-tweets

Recommended daily flow:

codex-hot-media --json import-text --input examples/manual_hot_titles.txt --source-name daily-5min --out-dir outputs/data --prefix daily_5min
codex-hot-media --json plan --input outputs/data/daily_5min_latest.json --top-n 10 --out-dir outputs
codex-hot-media --json pack --plan outputs/video_plan_from_hot_latest.json --out-dir outputs

No credentials are required or printed. If you use private/self-hosted services, pass only normal URLs; do not pass cookies or account tokens to this CLI.

This tool does:

• collect public or self-hosted hot-list data,
• normalize it into JSON/Markdown,
• generate original-content planning drafts,
• generate platform-specific manual copy packs,
• create a manual publishing log template.

This tool does not:

• log in to platforms,
• scrape behind authentication,
• copy source footage,
• upload videos,
• auto-publish posts,
• manage accounts, payments, OAuth, cookies, or tokens.

The tools/*.ps1 scripts are kept as a Windows local MVP layer. The GitHub-facing portable CLI is the Python package under src/codex_hot_media.

Use the PowerShell pipeline only when you want the original local demo flow:

powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\tools\run_daily_hot_pipeline.ps1
