social-post

What This Skill Does

The social-post skill is a comprehensive automation tool for the OpenClaw AI agent designed to manage multi-platform social media presence. It allows users to post updates or reply to existing threads on both X (Twitter) and Farcaster simultaneously. The skill is engineered to handle technical constraints automatically, including character/byte limit validation, image uploads, and thread management. It prevents errors by offering a draft preview mode, allowing users to inspect the final post format before committing to a public broadcast.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your OpenClaw environment, execute the following command in your terminal: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/dexiaong/social-postcjo

Ensure you have configured your local environment variables. X/Twitter credentials must be added to /home/phan_harry/.openclaw/.env, while Farcaster credentials require a dedicated JSON file located at /home/phan_harry/.openclaw/farcaster-credentials.json. Follow the platform-specific documentation provided in the setup guide to generate your API keys and signer permissions.

Use Cases

This skill is perfect for creators, developers, and community managers. Use it to:

• Automate cross-platform announcements to ensure uniform messaging.
• Manage long-form content by using the automatic threading feature, which breaks down complex updates into readable, numbered segments.
• Maintain high-speed engagement by replying to comments directly via AI prompts.
• Optimize link sharing through automatic integration with URL shorteners, maximizing your character count.

Example Prompts

1. "Post to both X and Farcaster: 'Just launched the new OpenClaw update! Check it out at https://openclaw.ai/updates. #AI #Automation'"
2. "Reply to the latest post from @OpenClaw with the image at ./media/chart.png and say: 'This performance data confirms the efficiency gains.'"
3. "Thread this announcement about the new agent architecture: [Detailed text block here]"

Tips & Limitations

• Safety Buffers: Always keep your messages within the suggested 10% safety buffer (252 chars for X, 288 bytes for Farcaster) to avoid truncated posts.
• Cost Transparency: X usage is consumption-based. Monitor your Developer Portal dashboard to stay within your desired budget.
• Dry Runs: Utilize the --dry-run flag during development to verify your formatting without triggering API costs or public posts.
