clawbsky

What This Skill Does

clawbsky is a professional-grade CLI utility integrated into the OpenClaw ecosystem, designed specifically for power users on the Bluesky social network. It acts as an automation bridge between your terminal and the Bluesky AT Protocol, enabling advanced interactions that go far beyond standard browser use. Whether you are managing a personal brand, curating a specific niche, or performing routine account hygiene, clawbsky provides granular control over posting, threading, and user discovery. The tool handles complex tasks like automatic aspect ratio detection for media uploads, multi-post thread orchestration, and algorithmic account maintenance, all while respecting API rate limits to ensure your account remains safe from automated flagging.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your environment, use the OpenClaw package manager by running: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/jyothish12345/clawbsky Once installed, initialize your session by running clawbsky login. We strongly advise generating an App Password from your Bluesky settings rather than using your primary login credentials. The tool supports standard shell pipes and flags like --json or --dry-run for advanced script integration.

Use Cases

• Content Creators: Easily publish long-form thoughts by drafting threads locally in text files and streaming them to Bluesky automatically.
• Community Managers: Quickly identify non-mutual followers to clean up your network and ensure your feed remains relevant to your interests.
• Automated Discovery: Search for specific hashtags or topics and programmatically follow relevant voices, using the built-in delay mechanisms to avoid triggering anti-spam protocols.
• Moderation: Use terminal commands to batch-manage blocks, mutes, and notifications, providing a cleaner experience than the standard web interface.

Example Prompts

1. "Use clawbsky to check my account for non-mutual followers and identify the top 50 users who haven't followed me back, then perform a dry run to see who they are."
2. "Draft a three-part thread for my latest blog post using the text files in my home folder and publish them to my Bluesky timeline."
3. "Search for the latest posts tagged with #AIArt and follow the 10 most recent users, ensuring the built-in rate limits are active."

Tips & Limitations

• Safety First: The most important rule of using any automation tool is to remain human. Do not use this tool for 'follow/unfollow' churning, as this will result in a permanent account ban from Bluesky servers.
• Dry-Run mode: Always use the --dry-run flag when performing bulk operations like unfollowing or blocking to ensure the command targets the intended audience.
• Rate Limiting: The tool includes a hardcoded 1s delay per follow action. Do not attempt to modify the source code to bypass these limits, as they are designed to protect your account standing. Keep your workflow steady rather than aggressive.
