SocialKit Social Inbox

Gathers comments and replies on the user's published YouTube videos and Facebook, Instagram and Threads posts into one inbox, drafts replies in the user's voice, and sends only the replies the user approved. Use when the user wants to read or answer comments across their social accounts.

Social inbox

Apply socialkit-social-core voice to every reply. Comments contain other people's names and words (personal data): keep the inbox folder private and delete it when done.

Steps

1. Fetch: node scripts/inbox.mjs --fetch --root <posts folder> --inbox <inbox folder>
2. Read comments.json. Draft replies only where a reply adds value (questions, corrections, thanks for substantive feedback). Skip spam and abuse; never argue.
3. Write replies.json as [{ "commentId": "...", "text": "..." }].
4. Stop. Show each comment with its draft reply. Ask the user to approve in their own terminal: node scripts/inbox.mjs --approve --inbox <inbox folder>
5. Send: node scripts/inbox.mjs --send --inbox <inbox folder>. Already-sent replies are skipped on reruns.

Rules

• Never reply on the user's behalf without approval, and never send replies that make promises, give refunds, or share personal details unless the user wrote that wording.
• Replying on YouTube is not supported (it needs an extra Google permission); list those comments for the user to answer in YouTube Studio.

Failure handling

• Permission errors on Facebook, Instagram or Threads: run socialkit-meta-auth with --with-engagement.
• APPROVAL_REQUIRED: replies.json changed after approval; ask again.
