Linux DO

Linux DO (linux.do). Use this skill for ANY Linux DO request — searching and reading data. Whenever a task involves Linux DO, use this skill instead of calling the API directly.

Operate Linux DO through your OOMOL-connected account. This skill calls the linux_do connector with the oo CLI; OOMOL injects credentials server-side, so you never handle raw tokens.

Category: Social, Developer Tools. Exposes 5 action(s).

Running an action

Linux DO needs no account connection. Assume the oo CLI is installed and signed in. Do not run oo auth login proactively — just run the action. Fall back to First-time setup only when a command actually fails.

1. Inspect the contract to get the authoritative input/output schema before building a payload:

oo connector schema "linux_do" --action "<action_name>"

2. Run the action with a JSON payload that matches the input schema:

oo connector run "linux_do" --action "<action_name>" --data '<json>' --json

• --data takes a JSON object string or @path/to/file.json; omit it to send {}.
• The response is { "data": ..., "meta": { "executionId": "..." } }; the execution id lives under meta.executionId.

Each action below links to a reference file with its purpose and exact commands. Read the linked file, then fetch the live schema with oo connector schema before constructing --data.

Available actions

• list_categories — List public Linux DO categories.
• list_latest_posts — List the latest public posts across Linux DO topics.
• list_latest_topics — List the latest public topics from Linux DO's Discourse forum.
• list_tags — List public Linux DO tags.
• list_top_topics — List public top topics from Linux DO for a time period.

Safety

• Read actions (get / list / search) are safe to run directly.
• Create, update, send, or post actions change Linux DO state — confirm the exact payload and effect with the user before running.
• Delete or remove actions are destructive — always confirm the target and get explicit approval first.

First-time setup

These are one-time steps — do not repeat them on every call. Run a step only when a command fails for the matching reason.

• oo: command not found — install the oo CLI (other platforms: https://cli.oomol.com/install-guide.md):

  curl -fsSL https://cli.oomol.com/install.sh | bash    # macOS / Linux
  

  irm https://cli.oomol.com/install.ps1 | iex           # Windows PowerShell
  

• Not signed in / authentication error — sign in to your OOMOL account once:

  oo auth login
  

• HTTP 402 / OOMOL_INSUFFICIENT_CREDIT — billing stop. Recharge at https://console.oomol.com/billing/token-recharge before retrying.
