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.

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! ✨"

  "Story time! 1/" \
  "2/" \
  "The end! 3/3"

Scheduled Thread Posting

Schedule a thread by passing an array as content:

# 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:

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:

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:

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.
