What This Skill Does

The Bluesky CLI skill provides a comprehensive interface for the AT Protocol directly within your terminal. It serves as a bridge between the OpenClaw agent and the Bluesky social network, allowing you to perform social media tasks via natural language commands. From reading timelines and managing threads to posting text and images with alt-text, this tool effectively transforms your command line into a fully functional Bluesky client. It is designed for users who want to stay active on the platform without leaving their development environment, ensuring seamless engagement with followers and content.

Installation

To integrate this skill, run the following command in your terminal: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/jeffaf/bluesky

Use Cases

This skill is perfect for developers, power users, and automation enthusiasts. Use it to automate daily social updates, archive content threads for offline analysis, monitor specific topics through the search function, or interact with followers during a coding session. It is also an excellent tool for content creators who prefer markdown-based drafting or want to sequence multiple posts into threads before publishing.

Example Prompts

1. "Check my timeline and like the first post I see."
2. "Post an update saying I've just pushed a new build to production, and include the image located at build_result.png with the alt text 'Successfully deployed build'."
3. "Follow @bsky.app and search for the latest news on the AT Protocol."

Tips & Limitations

• Authentication: Always start by running bsky whoami to ensure your session is active. If the session has expired, the CLI will prompt you to provide an App Password.
• Security: Use App Passwords specifically generated via the Bluesky website rather than your primary login password. OpenClaw handles these tokens securely, and they are never written to long-term storage.
• Threading: When creating threads, use the create-thread command to ensure that posts are correctly linked in a conversation chain.
• Limitations: Note that complex visual formatting (like custom rich text or GIFs) may have platform-specific limitations within the CLI environment; always use the --dry-run flag if you want to preview your post content before broadcasting it to your followers.
