Social Post Generator

Take a blog post URL or text and generate social media posts from it. Use when repurposing content for Twitter, LinkedIn, or creating promotional posts.

Security Scan

The skill's scripts and instructions match its description (generating social posts from a URL or text), require only curl, request no credentials, and do not perform suspicious file access or network exfiltration.

Purpose & Capability

Name/description (social post generation) align with the shipped files and runtime needs. The scripts fetch article HTML with curl, extract title/description/body, generate hashtags and formatted posts — all coherent with the stated purpose.

Instruction Scope

SKILL.md instructs running the included shell scripts. The scripts only read the provided URL or local file, create a local cache directory under the skill path, and print generated posts to stdout. They do not read unrelated system files, access secrets, or post data to external endpoints other than the user-supplied URLs fetched with curl.

Install Mechanism

There is no install spec — the skill is instruction/script-only and will not download or install external code. That is low-risk and proportionate for this task.

Credentials

No required environment variables or credentials are declared. The SKILL.md and scripts reference optional env vars (PLATFORM, TONE, BRAND_NAME, HASHTAGS) which are reasonable and proportionate for customizing output.

Persistence & Privilege

The skill is not forced-always, does not modify other skills or system-wide settings, and does not request persistent elevated privileges. It only creates a small cache directory under its own skill path.

Assessment

This skill appears to do what it says: it fetches an article (via curl) or reads a local file, and prints ready-to-use social posts. Before using it, be aware that: (1) the scripts will fetch any URL you provide — only supply trusted URLs; (2) generated copy should be reviewed for accuracy, tone, and copyright concerns before posting; (3) the scripts create a local cache directory inside the skill folder (no other system paths are modified); and (4) no credentials are required, but if you integrate these outputs with an automated publisher, make sure that publisher's credentials are handled securely. Overall the skill is internally consistent and does not request disproportionate access.

Transform blog posts and articles into social media content — tweets, LinkedIn posts, and viral hooks.

Environment Variables

Scripts

generate.sh — Generate Posts

Generates 5 social media posts from an article URL or text.

./scripts/generate.sh <url_or_text_file>

Output: 5 formatted posts ready to publish.

thread.sh — Create Twitter Thread

Generates a thread of connected tweets from an article.

./scripts/thread.sh <url_or_text_file>

Output: Numbered thread tweets with proper formatting.

hook.sh — Create Viral Hooks

Generates attention-grabbing opening hooks for social posts.

./scripts/hook.sh <url_or_text_file>

Output: 10 hook variations to test.

Usage Example

export PLATFORM=twitter
export TONE=casual
export BRAND_NAME="MyBrand"

# Generate 5 tweets from an article
./scripts/generate.sh https://example.com/blog/post

# Create a thread
./scripts/thread.sh article.txt

# Get viral hooks
./scripts/hook.sh article.txt

Notes

• Uses web_fetch to extract content from URLs
• Each platform has character limits (Twitter: 280, LinkedIn: 3000)
• Generates hashtag suggestions based on content
• Output is copy-paste ready with line breaks
• Add --dry-run to any script to preview without saving
