Taisly Social Media Posting is an agent skill from taisly/agent. Free AI-first short-form video publishing to TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, X, and Facebook from AI agents through Taisly.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 50 other files, including assets (for example `.claude-plugin/plugin.json`, `.codex-plugin/plugin.json` and `.github/workflows/check.yml`).

It sits in Media & Creative, covering Video scripts and shorts, MCP servers and Video production. It works with Model Context Protocol, Instagram and TikTok. The repository describes itself as: Taisly Agent Kit: MCP server, CLI, SDK, and agent docs for publishing videos to TikTok, Reels, Shorts, X, and Facebook. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Video scripts and shorts
  • Tasks that involve MCP servers

Workflow steps

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

  1. If Taisly is not connected yet, run taisly_agent_setup_start or taisly setup --agent and give the user the returned login URL.
  2. Wait for the user to finish browser login, then run taisly_agent_checkin or taisly checkin --agent .
  3. Run taisly auth:status.
  4. Run taisly platforms:list.
  5. If a requested platform is missing and a connect tool is available, run taisly platforms:connect:start --platform , give the user the…
  6. Match the user's requested platforms to connected platform IDs.
  7. Run taisly platforms:schema --platform for constraints.
  8. Run taisly posts:validate.
  9. Confirm destination accounts and caption with the user.
  10. Run taisly posts:create.
  11. Report the returned historyId, scheduled date, and per-platform initial statuses.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8890965. 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 these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • TAISLY_API_KEY

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

Context cost

Taisly Social Media Posting loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 40 tokens; SKILL.md has 587 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~40
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.5k

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.

Taisly Social Media Posting Skill

Use this skill when a user asks an AI agent to publish, schedule, or repost short-form video content through Taisly. The package is free to install and designed for AI-first posting workflows that can start without building platform integrations from scratch.

Rules

  • Always discover platforms before posting.
  • Ask for explicit confirmation before publishing to live social accounts unless the user already gave exact destination accounts, video file, caption, and schedule.
  • If MCP tools are available, prefer them over shell commands; otherwise use the JSON-first CLI.
  • For MCP publishing, call taisly_posts_create only with confirmed: true after explicit user approval.
  • Never invent platform IDs.
  • Never expose or print TAISLY_API_KEY.
  • If Taisly returns a current-plan or limit error, explain agent.message when present and provide the returned agent.paymentLinks when available. Do not attempt payment without explicit user confirmation.
  • Prefer scheduled posts when the user gives a future time.
  • Save the returned historyId so status can be checked later.
  • Supported local video extensions are .mp4, .mov, .avi, .mkv, .webm, .flv, .mpeg, and .mpg.

Environment

Prefer the browser setup flow when the user has not configured Taisly yet:

bash
taisly setup --agent <agent-slug>
# Ask the user to open the returned loginUrl and finish authentication.
taisly checkin --agent <agent-slug>

Use a short slug for the current agent, for example claude-code, codex, cursor, windsurf, openclaw, hermes-agent, cline, or aider.

The checkin command stores a local Taisly agent credential for later CLI and MCP calls.

Manual API key fallback:

bash
export TAISLY_API_KEY="taisly_..."

Remote MCP endpoint:

txt
https://app.taisly.com/mcp

Remote MCP can publish only from public videoUrl values. Use the local MCP server or CLI when the video is a local file path available to the agent.

Commands

bash
taisly auth:status
taisly setup --agent <agent-slug>
taisly checkin --agent <agent-slug>
taisly platforms:list
taisly integrations:list
taisly platforms:schema --platform TikTok
taisly posts:validate --video ./video.mp4 --platforms platform_id_1,platform_id_2 --description "Caption"
taisly posts:create --video ./video.mp4 --platforms platform_id_1,platform_id_2 --description "Caption" --scheduled "2026-06-14T09:00:00+07:00"
taisly posts:create --json ./campaign.json
taisly posts:list --page 1
taisly posts:status --id <historyId>
taisly reposts:create --from <platform_id> --to <platform_id_1,platform_id_2>
taisly mcp

All commands return JSON.

MCP Tools

When the MCP server is connected, use these tools instead of shell commands:

  • taisly_agent_setup_start
  • taisly_agent_checkin
  • taisly_auth_status
  • taisly_platforms_list
  • taisly_platform_schema
  • taisly_platform_connect_start
  • taisly_platform_connect_check
  • taisly_posts_validate
  • taisly_posts_create
  • taisly_posts_status
  • taisly_posts_list
  • taisly_reposts_list
  • taisly_reposts_create

Posting Workflow

  1. If Taisly is not connected yet, run taisly_agent_setup_start or taisly setup --agent <agent-slug> and give the user the returned login URL.
  2. Wait for the user to finish browser login, then run taisly_agent_checkin or taisly checkin --agent <agent-slug>.
  3. Run taisly auth:status.
  4. Run taisly platforms:list.
  5. If a requested platform is missing and a connect tool is available, run taisly platforms:connect:start --platform <name>, give the user the returned connectUrl, wait for browser approval, then run taisly platforms:connect:check --platform <name>. Supported connect slugs are instagram, tiktok, youtube, x, and facebook.
  6. Match the user's requested platforms to connected platform IDs.
  7. Run taisly platforms:schema --platform <name> for constraints.
  8. Run taisly posts:validate.
  9. Confirm destination accounts and caption with the user.
  10. Run taisly posts:create.
  11. Report the returned historyId, scheduled date, and per-platform initial statuses.

For MCP, follow the same sequence with taisly_auth_status, taisly_platforms_list, taisly_platform_connect_start, taisly_platform_connect_check, taisly_platform_schema, taisly_posts_validate, taisly_posts_create, and taisly_posts_status.

Error Handling

  • TAISLY_API_KEY_MISSING: ask the user to create or provide an API key.
  • SETUP_SESSION_MISSING: run taisly setup --agent <agent-slug>, ask the user to open the returned login URL, then run taisly checkin --agent <agent-slug>.
  • PLATFORMS_REQUIRED: ask which connected accounts should receive the post.
  • VIDEO_REQUIRED: ask for a local video path.
  • LIMIT: tell the user the current plan limit has been reached. Use agent.message and agent.paymentLinks when present, ask them to upgrade in Taisly before retrying, and do not open or use payment links without explicit confirmation.
  • POST_NOT_FOUND_IN_RECENT_HISTORY: tell the user the post was created but a dedicated status endpoint is not available yet; check Taisly History.

What Not To Do

  • Do not post to every connected account unless the user explicitly asks.
  • Do not retry posts:create blindly after a timeout; ask the user or check History first.
  • Do not use unsupported file types.
