SocialClaw - Social Claw is a social media scheduling skill for AI agents posting to X, LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook Pages, TikTok, Discord, Telegram, YouTube, Reddit, WordPress, and Pinterest

Use when a user wants social media scheduling and publishing for AI agents on X, LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook Pages, TikTok, Discord, Telegram, YouTube, Red...

Security Scan

The skill's requirements, instructions, and install spec are consistent with a hosted social-media scheduling client (SC_API_KEY and optional npm CLI); nothing requested or instructed appears disproportionate to that purpose.

Purpose & Capability

Name/description, base URL (getsocialclaw.com), required env var (SC_API_KEY), and optional npm CLI all align with a hosted social scheduling service client. No unrelated credentials or binaries are requested.

Instruction Scope

SKILL.md restricts actions to validating the workspace API key, using the SocialClaw HTTP API, and optionally running the socialclaw CLI. It does not instruct reading unrelated system files, other environment variables, or exfiltrating data to unexpected endpoints.

Install Mechanism

Install spec is an npm package (socialclaw) producing CLI binaries; this is proportionate for an optional CLI client. No arbitrary download/URL or archive extraction is used.

Credentials

Only SC_API_KEY is required and declared as the primary credential, which matches the documented runtime needs. The instructions explicitly avoid asking for provider app secrets and caution against echoing full API keys.

Persistence & Privilege

always is false and the skill is user-invocable; it does not request system-wide configuration or permission to modify other skills. Allowing autonomous invocation is the platform default and not itself a red flag here.

Assessment

This skill is coherent with its stated purpose. Before installing: only provide a workspace API key (SC_API_KEY) from a SocialClaw workspace you trust; avoid pasting provider app secrets into chat or the agent; if you plan to install the npm CLI, review the npm package source or its maintainer reputation before running npm install -g; confirm the workspace billing/status on the SocialClaw dashboard (plan_required errors are expected if billing is inactive). If you prefer tighter control, only enable the skill for explicit user invocation rather than allowing autonomous agent use.

SocialClaw is a workspace-scoped social publishing service at https://getsocialclaw.com.

What this skill is

This skill is an instruction layer for the hosted SocialClaw service.

It does not contain the SocialClaw backend or the provider integrations themselves. It teaches an OpenClaw-compatible agent how to:

• get or use a workspace API key
• call the SocialClaw HTTP API
• understand provider/account-type caveats
• optionally use the separate socialclaw CLI if it is already installed

This skill can work without the CLI. The CLI is only an optional client for the same hosted service.

Use this skill when the user wants to:

• connect or disconnect social accounts in a SocialClaw workspace
• upload media and get SocialClaw-hosted delivery URLs
• validate, preview, apply, or inspect scheduled posts and campaigns
• inspect connected account capabilities, publish settings, actions, jobs, health, or analytics

Do not use this skill for editing the SocialClaw codebase itself. This bundle is for operating a deployed SocialClaw workspace.

Defaults

• Base URL: https://getsocialclaw.com
• Auth: workspace API key in Authorization: Bearer <key>
• Preferred interface: socialclaw CLI when installed
• Fallback interface: SocialClaw HTTP API

Runtime requirements

• Required env: SC_API_KEY
• Hosted base URL: https://getsocialclaw.com
• Optional CLI: socialclaw (or social) if already installed
• Workspace status: an active trial or paid plan is required for CLI/API execution through the workspace key

Optional CLI

SocialClaw also has a separate npm CLI package named socialclaw.

Prefer it when it is already installed or the user wants command-line examples. The CLI is a client for the hosted SocialClaw service. It can:

• store a workspace API key locally
• start connection flows
• upload assets
• validate, preview, and apply schedules
• inspect posts, runs, analytics, usage, and workspace health
• install the packaged Claude Code command with socialclaw install --claude

The CLI is optional. This skill does not require it to function.

If the user explicitly wants the CLI and it is not installed yet:

npm install -g socialclaw

Quick start

If the user does not have a workspace API key yet:

open https://getsocialclaw.com/dashboard

Then tell them:

• sign in with Google
• open the API key section
• create or copy their workspace API key

Set:

export SC_API_KEY="<workspace-key>"

If the CLI is installed, log in with it:

socialclaw login --api-key <workspace-key>

Otherwise validate the key over HTTP:

curl -sS \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SC_API_KEY" \
  "https://getsocialclaw.com/v1/keys/validate"

If execution fails with plan_required, subscription_inactive, subscription_past_due, subscription_paused, or subscription_canceled, direct the user to:

• https://getsocialclaw.com/pricing
• https://getsocialclaw.com/dashboard

Operating rules

1. Start by confirming the user has a SocialClaw workspace API key.
2. If the user does not have a key yet, send them to https://getsocialclaw.com/dashboard to sign in with Google and create one.
3. A workspace API key alone is not sufficient for execution. If billing-related errors appear, route the user to pricing or dashboard billing instead of retrying commands.
4. Never ask the user for provider app secrets. End users connect accounts inside SocialClaw.
5. Prefer explicit provider/account-type language:
   • Facebook Pages, not Facebook personal profiles
   • Instagram Business linked to a Facebook Page
   • Instagram standalone professional accounts
   • LinkedIn profile and LinkedIn page are separate providers
   • Pinterest is board-centric; inspect capabilities/actions before assuming sections, catalogs, or advanced surfaces
6. If a provider workflow is not supported, say so directly instead of inventing a workaround.
7. Treat Pinterest product, collection, and idea surfaces as capability-gated or beta unless account capabilities/actions explicitly advertise them.
8. Avoid echoing full API keys back into chat.

Main workflow

1. Confirm the user has a workspace API key.
2. If needed, direct the user to the dashboard to sign in with Google and create a key.
3. Validate workspace access.
4. List accounts or start a connection flow.
5. Inspect capabilities/settings for the target account.
6. Upload media if needed.
7. Validate or preview the post/campaign.
8. Apply it.
9. Inspect posts, runs, analytics, or retry/reconcile if needed.

Essential examples

If the CLI is installed, prefer commands like these:

Store the workspace key:

socialclaw login --api-key <workspace-key>

Start a connection flow:

socialclaw accounts connect --provider youtube --open

Start a Pinterest OAuth connection:

socialclaw accounts connect --provider pinterest --open

Connect Telegram manually with a bot token and chat target:

socialclaw accounts connect --provider telegram --bot-token <bot-token> --chat-id @yourchannel --json

Connect Discord manually with a channel webhook URL:

socialclaw accounts connect --provider discord --webhook-url <discord-webhook-url> --json

List connected accounts:

socialclaw accounts list --json

Upload media:

socialclaw assets upload --file ./image.png --json

Validate a schedule:

socialclaw validate -f schedule.json --json

Apply a schedule:

socialclaw apply -f schedule.json --json

Install the Claude Code command:

socialclaw install --claude

Inspect a post:

socialclaw posts get --post-id <post-id> --json

Connection workflow

For browser-based account linking:

• CLI:
  • socialclaw accounts connect --provider <provider> --open
  • then socialclaw accounts status --connection-id <id> --json
• API:
  • POST /v1/connections/start
  • return the authorize URL to the user or open it if browser tools are available
  • poll GET /v1/connections/:connectionId

Supported providers:

• x
• facebook
• instagram_business
• instagram
• linkedin
• linkedin_page
• pinterest
• tiktok
• discord
• telegram
• youtube
• reddit
• wordpress

Telegram and Discord are the exceptions to the browser-based OAuth flow.

Telegram is connected manually with:

• a Telegram bot token
• a target chat_id or @channelusername

For Telegram:

• CLI:
  • socialclaw accounts connect --provider telegram --bot-token <token> --chat-id <@channel|chat_id> --json
• API:
  • POST /v1/connections/start with {"provider":"telegram","botToken":"...","chatId":"..." }

Discord is connected manually with:

• a Discord channel webhook URL

For Discord:

• CLI:
  • socialclaw accounts connect --provider discord --webhook-url <discord-webhook-url> --json
• API:
  • POST /v1/connections/start with {"provider":"discord","webhookUrl":"..." }
