What it does

Comment Automation is an agent skill from ChatbotXIO/ChatbotX. Work on Facebook/Messenger and Instagram comment automation — the feature that auto-replies to, likes, or hides comments on Facebook Page and Instagram posts. Use when changing the comment webhook path, the automation matching/filter logic, reply dispatch (text/flow/AI agent), hide rules, post targeting, or the fb-comments / ig-comments builder features. Read this BEFORE editing anything under comment-automation to avoid the silent-failure traps.

Its SKILL.md is about 7.7k 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 Backend & APIs, covering Webhooks. It works with Instagram. The repository describes itself as: Open-source ManyChat alternative, built for AI. Omnichannel marketing across WhatsApp, TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, Telegram, Zalo, Email, API, and Webchat 🤖.

When your agent uses it

  • Changing the comment webhook path
  • The automation matching/filter logic
  • Reply dispatch (text/flow/AI agent)
  • The fb-comments / ig-comments builder features

Example prompts

  • “/comment-automation”

Workflow steps

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

  1. **parent_id is ALWAYS present, but it does NOT always equal post_id on a top-level
  2. Post ids are composite {pageId}_{storyId}; the picker stores 3 different formats
  3. Every skip must log AND record a miss. The loop uses
  4. AIAgent reply ≠ DM auto-responder. publicReply/privateReply of type AIAgent
  5. Dedup ledger is dual-purpose. commentAutomationReplyModel rows
  6. Five channels, one loop. type is messenger | instagram (Instagram Login) |
  7. A private flow reply runs on the DM conversation; a public one does not. The
  8. **options.trackUserTags is the one option that is not a filter, and its totals are
  9. Instagram comment replies carry text only. POST /{ig-comment-id}/replies has no
  10. Instagram-via-Facebook private replies use the Page node, not the IG node.
  11. The list columns read counters, the dialog reads events — never swap them. The
  12. A multi-step flow reply is ONE reply — its steps can settle in either order.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9966b28. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • pnpm

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use pnpm, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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

Comment Automation loads about 7.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 117 tokens; SKILL.md has 3,601 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~117
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~7.7k

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 3,601 words (~7,704 tokens).

“Full reference: docs/comment-automation.md. Read it before non-trivial changes. This skill is the quick map + the traps.”
