What it does

Social Publish is an agent skill from alecs5am/ralphy. Publish or schedule a finished Ralphy Unit through the active workspace's saved Postiz connection. Prepares the target-shaped title, description, body, CTA, hashtags, thread parts, and required Postiz settings, then calls ralphy publish and records provenance for later analytics. USE WHEN the user asks to "publish this", "post it now", "schedule this post", "send this to Telegram", "post this thread to X", "publish the reel", or "put this on YouTube/Instagram". DO NOT FIRE for copy-only requests with no posting…

Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Media & Creative. It works with Telegram, Instagram and YouTube. The repository describes itself as: Open-source desktop app for content creation, with an agent runtime and standalone CLI. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks to publish this
  • Schedule this post
  • Send this to Telegram
  • Post this thread to X

Example prompts

  • “publish this”
  • “post it now”
  • “schedule this post”
  • “/social-publish”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Run ralphy once for the user profile and active-workspace memory digest.
  2. Resolve the target workspace. For the Ralphy brand, use ralphy-automaton.
  3. Read both files before writing copy
  4. Never ask for, print, or copy the Postiz API key. It is already stored in the workspace credentials file.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8d139f0. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Social Publish loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 142 tokens; SKILL.md has 381 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~142
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Social publish

Turn a finished Unit into a real or scheduled social post through the workspace's saved Postiz account. The user talks to the agent; the agent operates the CLI.

Required context

  1. Run ralphy once for the user profile and active-workspace memory digest.
  2. Resolve the target workspace. For the Ralphy brand, use ralphy-automaton.
  3. Read both files before writing copy:
    • .ralphy/workspaces/<workspace>/workspace.json
    • .ralphy/workspaces/<workspace>/SOCIAL_STRATEGY.md
  4. Never ask for, print, or copy the Postiz API key. It is already stored in the workspace credentials file.

Ralphy channel bindings

TargetAccountRole
Instagramagety.dev / Ralphy The Ghostvisual product persona, reels, carousels, polished demos
YouTube@ralphy_ugctutorials, case studies, complete product demos
X@alecs5amfounder-led build-in-public, technical insights, launches
TelegramRalphy UGCcommunity updates, behind the scenes, releases, frequent posts

Use the public integration IDs from workspace.json; never hard-code credentials in a Unit.

Intent contract

  • Explicit "publish/post now" authorizes --now.
  • An explicit date/time authorizes --at <ISO> after resolving it in the workspace timezone.
  • "Prepare", "draft", or ambiguous wording does not authorize an external post. Form the Unit and show the prepared copy, then stop.
  • Never invent a schedule. Ask one concise question only when the requested time cannot be resolved.

Prepare the Unit

Existing media Unit

Read unit.json, the project brief, and the actual media. Ensure the Unit has source-grounded social copy:

bash
ralphy unit caption <project> <unit-slug> --language English --niche saas

The copy must describe the actual content. Include a platform-shaped title/description, a soft CTA, and a small relevant hashtag set. Do not add generic trend tags unrelated to the Unit.

Show full SKILL.md (131 more words)Show less
Workspace text post

Form a first-class workspace Unit. Include the complete ready-to-post body, including CTA and hashtags, in --text:

bash
ralphy unit create --workspace <workspace> \
  --slug <kebab-slug> --format post \
  --text '<ready post body>' --destination telegram

For an X thread, store an ordered JSON string array so Postiz receives ordered thread parts:

bash
ralphy unit create --workspace <workspace> \
  --slug <kebab-slug> --format thread \
  --text '["First post", "Second post", "Final post"]' --destination x

If X and Telegram need meaningfully different copy, create separate Units. Do not force one generic body across channels.

Publish

Workspace Unit:

bash
ralphy publish <unit-slug> --workspace <workspace> --targets telegram --now
ralphy publish <unit-slug> --workspace <workspace> --targets x --at <ISO>

Project media Unit:

bash
ralphy publish <project> <unit-slug> --targets instagram --now
ralphy publish <project> <unit-slug> --targets youtube --at <ISO>

The CLI binds the correct Postiz integration, uploads non-text media, supplies provider settings, appends the Postiz post ID/status to unit.json, and guards retries with the workspace publish ledger.

After publishing

Report only:

  • target account;
  • published now or scheduled time;
  • success/failure per target and Postiz post ID;
  • clickable Unit path;
  • the next analytics pull command.

For workspace Units:

bash
ralphy analytics pull <unit-slug> --workspace <workspace>

Do not claim a post succeeded unless the CLI returned a successful target record.
