Script: scripts/agentic_media_pipeline.py

Known Issues

1. sqlite3 binary not available in Termux

   • The script uses subprocess.run(['sqlite3', ...]) which fails on Termux
   • Fix: Use mcp_android_phone_query_wechat tool instead, or query via Python sqlite3 module if EnMicroMsg.db is accessible
   • Alternative: Use query_wechat MCP tool with SQL queries

2. Kimi 2.6 timeout

   • simple_chat() with 120s timeout may fail for large inputs
   • Fix: Increase timeout to 180s, or batch process articles in smaller chunks

3. GPT Image 2 prompt length

   • Very long prompts with all article content may exceed token limits
   • Fix: Truncate article summaries to 50 chars each, limit to 6 articles max

Working Example (Manual Execution)

Since the automated script has issues, the pipeline can be executed manually:

Step 1: Collect Messages

# Use MCP tool: query_wechat with SQL
SELECT msgId, type, isSend, talker, content, createTime 
FROM message 
WHERE talker = '54655425669@chatroom' 
AND createTime >= 1782230400000 
ORDER BY createTime DESC 
LIMIT 50;

Step 2: Extract Articles (Python)

import re
# Parse XML content from type=49 messages
# Extract title, url, description

Step 3: Generate Structured JSON

# Manually create or use Kimi if available
daily_json = {
    "date": "2026-06-24",
    "headline": "AI Agent化浪潮...",
    "news": [...],
    "quotes": [...],
    "trend": {...}
}

Step 4: Generate Image

# Use generate_image.py with GPT Image 2
python3 ~/.hermes/skills/image-generation/scripts/generate_image.py \
  "Victorian newspaper poster..." \
  --output /sdcard/WeChatDigest/infographic.png \
  --model "GPT Image 2"
