Why use this skill?
Efficiently schedule and automate social media posts to X using OpenClaw. Features include cron-based queue management, template support, and secure local credential handling.
Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/sa9saq/sns-auto-posterWhat This Skill Does
The Sns Auto Poster is a specialized OpenClaw agent skill designed to streamline social media management. It allows users to schedule and automate posts to X (Twitter) using a cron-based queue system. By leveraging local JSON storage for the queue and templates, it provides a lightweight, local-first approach to social media presence. The tool handles queue management, image attachment, and scheduling logic, ensuring your content is distributed effectively across your social platforms without constant manual intervention.
Installation
To integrate this skill into your workflow, run the command: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/sa9saq/sns-auto-poster. Ensure you have Python 3.8+ installed along with the requests library. Configure your X/Twitter API credentials in ~/.openclaw/secrets.env as specified in the documentation, ensuring the file permissions are restricted to your user for security. Finally, verify your environment is set up by executing the help command provided in the skill directory.
Use Cases
- Consistent Branding: Automatically post daily morning updates or weekly recaps using pre-defined templates.
- Content Batching: Add all your posts for the week during one session and let the cron job handle the delivery.
- Announcement Automation: Schedule product releases or updates to align with specific time zones.
- Cross-Platform Scheduling: Manage bulk queuing of social content directly from the command line while performing other developer tasks.
Example Prompts
- "OpenClaw, use the Sns Auto Poster to queue a post for tomorrow at 10 AM saying 'Check out the new features in our latest release! #OpenClaw'"
- "Show me the current queue of pending social posts and clear any that have already been sent."
- "Run the morning template from the Sns Auto Poster now to notify followers about today's live session."
Tips & Limitations
To ensure reliable operation, keep in mind that X/Twitter enforces strict rate limits; ensure your cron intervals align with these constraints. Always compress images below 5MB to avoid upload failures. Because this skill relies on local files, be sure to back up your queue.json regularly. Remember that posts scheduled in the past will trigger on the next execution cycle, so check your logs to prevent accidental double-posting. Finally, never hardcode your secrets; always use the secrets.env file and verify your text content against X's 280-character limit before committing to the queue.
