What it does

Openpost CLI is an agent skill from getopenpost/openpost. Operate a running OpenPost instance through the openpost CLI. Use for authentication and profile setup; workspace, account, provider, media, schedule, job, and billing inspection; creating or editing text posts, threads, and format-first publications; scheduling or publishing content; checking lifecycle events; recovering failed destinations; and comment replies or moderation. Prefer this skill when terminal or scripted OpenPost work is requested. It is not needed when an OpenPost MCP connector is already being…

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `agents/openai.yaml` and `references/workflows.md`).

It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering Copy editing and proofreading and App automation through connectors. The repository describes itself as: Create, adapt, schedule, and track social posts. Open-source, hosted or self-hosted. The licence is AGPL-3.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Authentication and profile setup
  • Billing inspection
  • Editing text posts
  • Format-first publications

Example prompts

  • “/openpost-cli”

Requirements

  • A credential in OPENPOST_TOKEN

Workflow steps

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

  1. Confirm the CLI exists
  2. Inspect context before a workspace-scoped action
  3. Pass --profile, --instance, or --workspace when the saved context is absent or ambiguous. Prefer the stored keyring token or…
  4. Use --json for reads and automation. Parse IDs and status from JSON instead of scraping tables.
  5. When syntax may have changed, run openpost help or openpost --help. Treat live help as the command source of truth.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ed8ad44. 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

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • openpo.st

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

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • OPENPOST_TOKEN

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

Context cost

Openpost CLI loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 134 tokens; SKILL.md has 603 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~134
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~3.7k

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.

description
Operate a running OpenPost instance through the openpost CLI. Use for authentication and profile setup; workspace, account, provider, media, schedule, job, and billing inspection; creating or editing text posts, threads, and format-first publications; scheduling or publishing content; checking lifecycle events; recovering failed destinations; and comment replies or moderation. Prefer this skill when terminal or scripted OpenPost work is requested. It is not needed when an OpenPost MCP connector is already being used.

OpenPost CLI

Use the openpost executable as an external client of a running OpenPost instance. Keep the instance, workspace, destination accounts, content, and publish time explicit.

Start safely

  1. Confirm the CLI exists:

    sh
    command -v openpost
openpost version

    If it is missing, stop and point to https://openpo.st/docs/automate/cli. Do not install software unless the user asked.

  2. Inspect context before a workspace-scoped action:

    sh
    openpost instance diagnostics --json
openpost auth status --json
openpost workspace list --json

  3. Pass --profile, --instance, or --workspace when the saved context is absent or ambiguous. Prefer the stored keyring token or OPENPOST_TOKEN; do not put a token in command output, logs, files, or chat.

  4. Use --json for reads and automation. Parse IDs and status from JSON instead of scraping tables.

  5. When syntax may have changed, run openpost help or openpost <group> <command> --help. Treat live help as the command source of truth.

Choose the authoring path

  • Use openpost post for the text-and-thread composer: short text, text with media, and editable drafts.
  • Use openpost thread create when the source is a Markdown file containing two or more ----separated posts.
  • Use openpost publication for format-first content: link shares, image posts, carousels, stories, short video, long video, and provider-specific output fields.
  • Inspect openpost provider readiness --json before a new provider workflow. Inspect openpost provider capabilities --provider <key> --json before choosing a publication profile or provider setting.

Read references/workflows.md for exact command patterns and format selection.

Apply mutations deliberately

  • Default to creating a draft when the user did not ask to schedule or publish.
  • Treat scheduling, publishing, retrying a rendition, replying, hiding or deleting a comment, disconnecting an account, generating schedule slots, and deletion as state-changing actions. Perform them only when the request authorizes that effect.
  • Before a publish or schedule action, resolve the exact instance, workspace, destination accounts, content, media, and RFC3339 time or named next slot.
  • Use account slugs as human-friendly --accounts selectors. Use exact account IDs for rendition retry, rendition deletion, and account disconnect; account rename accepts a flexible selector (ID, slug, platform:username, bare platform, or Fediverse host) plus --slug.
  • Add alt text during upload or with openpost media update.
  • Run openpost publication validate <id> --json before publishing a format-first publication.
  • Pass --yes only when the user already authorized the command's confirmation. Interactive confirmations guard post delete, media delete, schedule delete, schedule suggest, and account disconnect. Pass --confirm only for the exact item the user asked to delete: publication delete, publication delete-rendition, and publication delete-comment each require it.
  • Never add --force automatically after a revision conflict. Only publication update has --force; post update has no such flag because it re-reads the current revision before writing. Reload with post view or publication view, show the conflict, and retry only after reconciling the saved version with the requested edits.
Show full SKILL.md (159 more words)Show less

Verify the outcome

After a mutation, inspect the returned ID and current server state:

sh
openpost post view <post-id> --json
openpost publication view <publication-id> --json
openpost publication events <publication-id> --json
openpost jobs list --json

Do not describe scheduled as published. For queued work, report the object ID, job ID when present, schedule time, and current status. For partial or failed publication, inspect rendition failure fields and lifecycle events before retrying.

Handle common failures

  • 401 or auth required: run openpost auth status --json; do not expose or regenerate credentials without user direction.
  • Workspace not found or ambiguous: run openpost workspace list --json, then pass an exact ID with --workspace.
  • Account selector ambiguous: run openpost account list --json, then use a unique slug or ID.
  • Provider validation failure: inspect readiness, capabilities, media metadata, and publication validation output; fix the stated blocker.
  • Revision conflict: reload with post view or publication view; do not replay stale data.
  • Media deletion blocked: run openpost media usage <media-id> --json and report the references.
  • No next slot: inspect openpost schedule list --json; do not invent a time.
