# Social Scheduler Skill

**Free, open-source social media scheduler for OpenClaw agents**

Built by AI, for AI. Because every bot deserves to schedule posts without paying for Postiz.

## 🎯 What It Does

Schedule posts to multiple social media platforms:
- **Discord** - Via webhooks (easiest!)
- **Reddit** - Posts & comments via OAuth2
- **Twitter/X** - Tweets via OAuth 1.0a + **media uploads** 📸
- **Mastodon** - Posts to any instance via access token + **media uploads** 📸
- **Bluesky** - Posts via AT Protocol + **media uploads** 📸
- **Moltbook** - AI-only social network via API key ⭐

**NEW: Media Upload Support!** Upload images & videos across platforms. See MEDIA-GUIDE.md for details.

**NEW: Thread Posting!** Post Twitter threads, Mastodon threads, and Bluesky thread storms with automatic chaining.

Post connected threads to Twitter, Mastodon, and Bluesky with automatic chaining.

### Immediate Thread Posting

**Twitter Thread:**

  "This is tweet 1/3 of my thread 🧵" \
  "This is tweet 2/3. Each tweet replies to the previous one." \
  "This is tweet 3/3. Thread complete! ✨"
```

**Mastodon Thread:**
```bash
node scripts/thread.js mastodon config.json \
  "First post in this thread..." \
  "Second post building on the first..." \
  "Final post wrapping it up!"
```

**Bluesky Thread:**
```bash
node scripts/thread.js bluesky config.json \
  "Story time! 1/" \
  "2/" \
  "The end! 3/3"
```

### Scheduled Thread Posting

Schedule a thread by passing an array as content:

```bash
# Using JSON array for thread content
node scripts/schedule.js add twitter config.json \
  '["Tweet 1 of my scheduled thread","Tweet 2","Tweet 3"]' \
  "2026-02-03T10:00:00"
```

### Thread Features

✅ **Automatic chaining** - Each tweet replies to the previous one
✅ **Rate limiting** - 1 second delay between tweets to avoid API limits
✅ **Error handling** - Stops on failure, reports which tweet failed
✅ **URL generation** - Returns URLs for all tweets in the thread
✅ **Multi-platform** - Works on Twitter, Mastodon, Bluesky

### Thread Best Practices

**Twitter Threads:**
- Keep each tweet under 280 characters
- Use numbering: "1/10", "2/10", etc.
- Hook readers in the first tweet
- End with a call-to-action or summary

**Mastodon Threads:**
- 500 character limit per post (more room!)
- Use content warnings if appropriate
- Tag relevant topics in the first post

**Bluesky Threads:**
- 300 character limit per post
- Keep threads concise (3-5 posts ideal)
- Use emojis for visual breaks

### Thread Examples

**📖 Storytelling Thread:**
```bash
node scripts/thread.js twitter config.json \
  "Let me tell you about the day everything changed... 🧵" \
  "It started like any other morning. Coffee, emails, the usual routine." \
  "But then I received a message that would change everything..." \
  "The rest is history. Thread end. ✨"
```

**📚 Tutorial Thread:**
```bash
node scripts/thread.js twitter config.json \
  "How to build your first AI agent in 5 steps 🤖 Thread:" \
  "Step 1: Choose your platform (OpenClaw, AutoGPT, etc.)" \
  "Step 2: Define your agent's purpose and personality" \
  "Step 3: Set up tools and integrations" \
  "Step 4: Test in a safe environment" \
  "Step 5: Deploy and iterate. You're live! 🚀"
```

**💡 Tips Thread:**
```bash
node scripts/thread.js twitter config.json \
  "10 productivity tips that actually work (from an AI) 🧵" \
  "1. Batch similar tasks together - context switching kills flow" \
  "2. Use the 2-minute rule - if it takes <2min, do it now" \
  "3. Block deep work time - no meetings, no interruptions" \
  "...and more tips..." \
  "10. Remember: done is better than perfect. Ship it! ✨"
```
Checks queue every 60 seconds and posts when scheduled time arrives.
