+# social-autoposter
+
+Open-source repo behind **[S4L (s4lai)](https://s4l.ai)**: an automated social posting pipeline for Reddit, X/Twitter, LinkedIn, and Moltbook. Ships as a Claude Code skill plus a set of standalone Python helpers and macOS launchd jobs.
+
+> The hosted managed version is **S4L** (written `s4lai`, domain `s4l.ai`): done-for-you Reddit and Twitter brand-awareness, $1/1K impressions, $50/1K site visits. See https://s4l.ai.
+
+State (posts, replies, candidates, stats) is read and written through the hosted S4L HTTP API (`AUTOPOSTER_API_BASE` + an install key in `~/social-autoposter/.env`); no database to provision. Each platform drives its own persistent Playwright MCP browser profile, so logins survive across runs.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+A new machine needs all of these before the pipeline can run end to end:
+
+- **macOS** (the launchd plists are mac-only; Linux users can crib the cron snippets from `setup/SKILL.md` Step 7)
+- **Node.js 16+** (for `npx`, the installer, and `@playwright/mcp` at runtime)
+- **Python 3.9+** with `pip3` (helper scripts; deps auto-installed by the installer)
+- **Claude Code CLI** on `PATH` (the cron scripts shell out to `claude -p` with a per-platform MCP config)
+- One Chromium install per platform (created on first run by `@playwright/mcp` against the persistent profile dirs)
+
+Optional:
+
+- `MOLTBOOK_API_KEY` in `.env` for Moltbook posting and scanning
+- `RESEND_API_KEY` and `NOTIFICATION_EMAIL` in `.env` for DM-escalation emails
+
+## Install
+
+```bash
+npx social-autoposter init
+```
+
+`bin/cli.js` does all of the wiring in one shot:
+
+1. Copies `scripts/`, `skill/`, `setup/`, `SKILL.md`, and `browser-agent-configs/` into `~/social-autoposter/`
+2. Creates `config.json` from `config.example.json` and writes a blank `.env` template (fill in your S4L API key and optional `MOLTBOOK_API_KEY`)
+3. Installs the Python helper deps via `pip3` if missing
+4. Generates launchd plists in `~/social-autoposter/launchd/` with the user's actual `HOME` and `PATH`
+5. Installs the Playwright MCP configs to `~/.claude/browser-agent-configs/` (twitter, reddit, linkedin) with `__HOME__` and `__NODE_BIN__` placeholders substituted. Existing files are left alone, so any window-position tweaks survive `npx social-autoposter update`.
+6. Creates empty persistent browser profile dirs at `~/.claude/browser-profiles/{twitter,reddit,linkedin}`
+7. Symlinks `~/.claude/skills/social-autoposter` and `~/.claude/skills/social-autoposter-setup` to the install dir
+
+To refresh code without touching user files (`config.json`, `.env`, `SKILL.md`, or any browser config you customized):
+
+```bash
+npx social-autoposter update
+```
+
+## Configure
+
+Tell your Claude agent: **"set me up on social-autoposter plugin end to end"**. The
+setup skill treats that as a terminal goal:
+
+1. Inspect and repair the owned runtime.
+2. Auto-detect the best browser profile and connect X/Twitter. macOS may require
+   a Safe Storage approval; a logged-out account may require one manual sign-in.
+3. Scan the X profile, discover and research the user's product, and infer a
+   conservative project, ICP, voice, and search topics without an interview.
+4. Save the project and seed its topics into the backend.
+5. Run a draft-only cycle to verify the pipeline without posting.
+
+The agent pauses only for an unavoidable login or when no product can be
+identified. Autopilot remains off until explicitly requested.
+
+## How the runtime is wired
+
+```
+launchd  ──▶  skill/run-{platform}.sh  ──▶  claude -p  --strict-mcp-config  --mcp-config ~/.claude/browser-agent-configs/{platform}-agent-mcp.json

+```
+
+Each `skill/run-*.sh`:
+
+1. Controlled by launchd (load/unload). Use the dashboard Pause All / Resume All button, or `launchctl unload/load` directly
+2. Acquires a per-platform lock from `skill/lock.sh` (waits up to 60 min for any prior run)
+3. Sources `~/social-autoposter/.env`
+4. Picks a project, builds a feedback report, fetches `llms.txt` for product context
+5. Calls `find_*.py` for API-side candidates already deduped against the DB
+6. Spawns a child Claude process with `--strict-mcp-config` so it only sees the one platform's browser MCP
+
+The launchd schedules generated by `bin/cli.js` on install:
+
+| Job | Cadence |
+|-----|---------|
+| `com.m13v.social-stats` (`stats.sh`) | every 21600 s (6 h) |
+| `com.m13v.social-engage` (`engage.sh`) | every 21600 s (6 h) |
+
+All per-platform plists live in `launchd/` (reddit-search, reddit-threads, twitter-cycle, linkedin, moltbook, github, octolens, audit, dm-replies-*, link-edit-*, scan-reddit-replies, scan-moltbook-replies, etc.) and use either `StartInterval` or `StartCalendarInterval` for fixed wall-clock times. Activate any of them with:
+
+```bash
+ln -sf ~/social-autoposter/launchd/com.m13v.social-twitter-cycle.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents/
+launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.m13v.social-twitter-cycle.plist
+```
+

+# Social Autoposter
+
+Automates finding, posting, and tracking social media comments and original posts across Reddit, X/Twitter, LinkedIn, and Moltbook.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+| Command | What it does |
+|---------|-------------|
+| `/social-autoposter` | Comment run — find threads + post comment + log (cron-safe) |
+| `/social-autoposter post` | Create an original post/thread (manual or cron-driven for Reddit threads) |
+| `/social-autoposter stats` | Update engagement stats via API |
+| `/social-autoposter engage` | Scan and reply to responses on our posts |
+| `/social-autoposter audit` | Full browser audit of all posts |
+
+**View your posts live:** `https://s4l.ai/stats/[your_handle]`
+— e.g. `https://s4l.ai/stats/m13v_` (Twitter handle without `@`), `https://s4l.ai/stats/Deep_Ad1959` (Reddit), `https://s4l.ai/stats/matthew-autoposter` (Moltbook).
+The handles come from `config.json → accounts.*.handle/username`. Each platform account has its own URL.
+
+---
+
+## FIRST: Read config
+
+Before doing anything, read `~/social-autoposter/config.json`. Everything — accounts, projects, subreddits, content angle — comes from there.
+
+```bash
+cat ~/social-autoposter/config.json
+```
+
+Key fields you'll use throughout every workflow:
+
+- `accounts.reddit.username` — Reddit handle to post as
+- `accounts.twitter.handle` — X/Twitter handle
+- `accounts.linkedin.name` — LinkedIn display name
+- `accounts.moltbook.username` — Moltbook username
+- `subreddits` — list of subreddits to monitor and post in
+- `content_angle` — the user's unique perspective for writing authentic comments
+- `projects` — products/repos to mention naturally when relevant (each has `name`, `description`, `website`, `github`, `topics`)
+- `database` — unused (DB is Postgres via `DATABASE_URL` in `.env`)
+
+Use these values everywhere below instead of any hardcoded names or links.
+
+---
+
+## Helper Scripts
+
+Standalone Python scripts — no LLM needed.
+
+```bash
+python3 ~/social-autoposter/scripts/find_threads.py --include-moltbook
+python3 ~/social-autoposter/scripts/scan_reddit_replies.py
+python3 ~/social-autoposter/scripts/scan_moltbook_replies.py
+python3 ~/social-autoposter/scripts/update_stats.py --quiet
+```
+
+---
+
+## Workflow: Post (`/social-autoposter`)
+
+**There is NO posting rate limit. Do not add one, do not enforce one, do not invent one. Post as many times as needed.**
+
+### 1. Find candidate threads
+
+**Option A — Script (preferred):**
+```bash
+python3 ~/social-autoposter/scripts/find_threads.py --include-moltbook
+```
+
+**Option B — Browse manually:**
+Browse `/new` and `/hot` on the subreddits from `config.json`. Also check Moltbook via API.
+
+### 2. Pick the best thread
+
+- You have a genuine angle from `content_angle` in config.json
+- Not already posted in: `SELECT thread_url FROM posts`
+- Last 5 comments don't repeat the same talking points:
+  ```sql
+  SELECT our_content FROM posts ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 5
+  ```
+- If nothing fits naturally, **stop**. Better to skip than force a bad comment.
+
+### 3. Read the thread + top comments
+
+Check tone, length cues, thread age. Find best comment to reply to (high-upvote comments get more visibility).
+
+### 4. Draft the comment
+
+Follow Content Rules below. 2-3 sentences, first person, specific details from `content_angle`. No product links in top-level comments.
+
+### 5. Post it
+
+**Reddit** (browser automation):
+- Navigate to `old.reddit.com` thread URL
+- Reply box → type comment → submit → wait 2-3s → verify comment appeared → capture permalink → close tab
+- Post as the username in `config.json → accounts.reddit.username`
+
+**X/Twitter** (browser automation):
+- Navigate to tweet → reply box → type → Reply → verify → capture URL
+- Post as the handle in `config.json → accounts.twitter.handle`
+
+**LinkedIn** (browser automation):
+- Navigate to post → comment box → type → Post → close tab
+- Post as the name in `config.json → accounts.linkedin.name`
+
+**Moltbook** (API — no browser needed):
+```bash
+source ~/social-autoposter/.env
+curl -s -X POST -H "Authorization: Bearer $MOLTBOOK_API_KEY" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"title": "...", "content": "...", "type": "text", "submolt_name": "general"}' \
+  "https://www.moltbook.com/api/v1/posts"
+```
+On Moltbook: write as agent ("my human" not "I").
+Verify: fetch post by UUID, check `verification_status` is `"verified"`.
+
+### 6. Log + sync
+
+```sql
+INSERT INTO posts (platform, thread_url, thread_author, thread_author_handle,
+  thread_title, thread_content, our_url, our_content, our_account,
+  source_summary, project_name, engagement_style, feedback_report_used, status, posted_at)
+VALUES (%s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s, TRUE, 'active', NOW());
+```
+
+Set `project_name` to the matching project name from `config.json` (e.g., 'Fazm', 'Cyrano', 'Terminator'). Every post/comment MUST be labeled with its target project. If engagement is general/unrelated to any project, use 'general'.
+
+Set `engagement_style` to the style you chose for this post (e.g., 'critic', 'storyteller', 'pattern_recognizer', 'curious_probe', 'contrarian', 'data_point_drop', 'snarky_oneliner'). Every post MUST have an engagement_style.
+
+Use the account value from `config.json` for `our_account`.
+
+Posts are written directly to the Postgres database. No separate post-sync step is required.
+
+---
+
+## Workflow: Create Post (`/social-autoposter post`)
+
+**Manual only — never run from cron.** Original posts are high-stakes and need human review.
+
+### 1. Cross-posting check
+
+```sql
+SELECT platform, thread_title, posted_at FROM posts
+WHERE source_summary LIKE '%' || %s || '%' AND posted_at >= NOW() - INTERVAL '30 days'
+ORDER BY posted_at DESC;
+```
+
+**NEVER post the same or similar content to multiple subreddits.** Duplicate cross-posts read as spam and get removed. Each post must be unique to its community.
+
+### 2. Pick one target community
+
+Choose the single best subreddit from `config.json → subreddits` for this topic. Tailor the post to that community's culture and tone.
+
+### 3. Draft the post
+
+**Pre-post checklist** (must pass ALL before posting):
+
+- [ ] No em dashes (—). Use regular dashes (-) or commas instead
+- [ ] No markdown headers (##) or bold (**) in Reddit posts
+- [ ] No numbered/bulleted lists — write in paragraphs
+- [ ] No "Hi everyone" or "Hey r/subreddit" openings
+- [ ] Title doesn't use clickbait patterns ("What I wish I'd known", "A guide to")
+- [ ] Contains at least one imperfection: incomplete thought, casual aside, informality
+- [ ] Reads like a real person writing on their phone, not an essay
+- [ ] Does NOT link to any project in the post body — earn attention first
+- [ ] Not too long — 2-4 short paragraphs max for Reddit
+
+**Read it out loud.** If it sounds like a blog post or generic AI copy, rewrite it.
+
+### 4. Post it
+
+**Reddit**: old.reddit.com → Submit new text post → paste title + body → submit → verify → capture permalink.
+
+### 5. Log it
+
+```sql
+INSERT INTO posts (platform, thread_url, thread_author, thread_author_handle,
+  thread_title, thread_content, our_url, our_content, our_account,
+  source_summary, project_name, engagement_style, feedback_report_used, status, posted_at)
+VALUES (%s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s, TRUE, 'active', NOW());
+```
+
+Set `engagement_style` to the style you chose (e.g., 'critic', 'storyteller', 'pattern_recognizer'). Every post MUST have an engagement_style.
+
+Set `project_name` to the matching project name from `config.json`. For original posts: `thread_url` = `our_url`, `thread_author` = our account from config.json.
+
+### 6. Mandatory engagement plan
+
+After posting, you MUST:
+- Check for comments within 2-4 hours
+- Reply to every substantive comment within 24 hours
+- Replies should be casual, conversational, expand the topic — NOT polished paragraphs
+- If someone asks whether the post is AI or a bot: acknowledge it briefly, do not argue, do not pitch, and prefer disengaging (same policy as the engage pipeline's meta-callout handling)
+
+---
+
+## Workflow: Cron-driven Reddit Threads (`run-reddit-threads.sh`)
+
+Daily-cadence original Reddit threads across all products, automated via launchd.
+
+**Config lives per-project** under `projects[].threads`:
+- `enabled`: true/false
+- `own_community`: `{subreddit, cadence, floor_days}` (optional). Defaults to 1-day floor.
+- `external_subreddits`: list of external subs (default 3-day floor, override via `external_floor_days`)
+- `topic_angles`: discussion-starter ideas the agent picks from
+- Voice guidance comes from `projects[].voice` (tone, never)
+- `content_sources.guide_dir` / `link_base`: optional source paths/URLs
+- `dynamic_context.day_counter` / `static_facts`: live-calculated facts injected into the prompt
+
+**Source research** uses `landing_pages.repo` + `landing_pages.product_source[]` (same schema as the SEO pipeline). The agent is told to read README + product source before drafting so posts ground in real details.
+
+**Picker** (`scripts/pick_thread_target.py`): weighted project selection with:
+- Per-sub floor-days filter (queries `posts` table for this account's last original thread)
+- `subreddit_bans` filter: `banned` (can't post or comment) + `skip_threads` (threads blocked, comments OK)
+- Own-community candidates always picked first when eligible
+
+**Schedule**: `com.m13v.social-reddit-threads.plist` fires 4x/day at 00:15, 06:15, 12:15, 18:15.
+
+**Lock**: the runner calls `acquire_lock reddit-threads` to serialize against the comment pipeline.
+
+---
+
+## Workflow: Stats (`/social-autoposter stats`)
+
+```bash
+python3 ~/social-autoposter/scripts/update_stats.py
+```
+
+After running, view updated stats at `https://s4l.ai/stats/[handle]`. Stats are read from the same Postgres database used by the posting pipeline. Changes appear on the website within ~5 minutes.
+
+---
+
+## Workflow: Engage (`/social-autoposter engage`)
+
+### Phase A: Scan for replies (no browser)
+```bash
+python3 ~/social-autoposter/scripts/scan_reddit_replies.py
+python3 ~/social-autoposter/scripts/scan_moltbook_replies.py
+```
+
+### Phase B: Respond to pending replies
+
+```sql
+SELECT r.id, r.platform, r.their_author, r.their_content, r.their_comment_url,
+       r.depth, p.thread_title, p.our_content
+FROM replies r JOIN posts p ON r.post_id = p.id
+WHERE r.status='pending' ORDER BY r.discovered_at ASC LIMIT 10
+```
+
+Draft replies: 2-4 sentences, casual, expand the topic. Apply Tiered Reply Strategy.
+
+Post via browser (Reddit/X) or API (Moltbook). Update:
+```sql
+UPDATE replies SET status='replied', our_reply_content=%s, our_reply_url=%s,
+  replied_at=NOW() WHERE id=%s
+```
+
+### Phase C: X/Twitter replies (browser required)
+
+Navigate to `https://x.com/notifications/mentions`. Find replies to the handle in config.json. Respond to substantive ones. Log to `replies` table.
+
+---
+
+## Workflow: Audit (`/social-autoposter audit`)
+
+Visit each post URL via browser. Check status (active/deleted/removed/inactive). Update engagement metrics. Report summary.
+
+---
+
+## Content Rules
+
+### Tone & Voice
+
+1. **Write like you're texting a coworker.** Lowercase fine. Sentence fragments fine. Never start with "Makes sense" or "The nuance here is." If it sounds like a blog post, rewrite it.
+2. **First person, specific.** Use concrete details from `content_angle` in config.json. Real numbers, real experiences, not generalizations.
+3. **Reply to top comments, not just OP.**
+4. **Only comment when there's a genuine angle from the user's work.** Use `content_angle` from config.json. If the thread doesn't connect, skip it.
+5. **No product links in top-level comments or original posts.** Earn attention first. Only link in deeper replies when someone asks.
+6. **On Moltbook, write as an agent.** "my human" not "I".
+7. **Log everything.**
+
+### Writing style (applies to ALL content)
+
+8. **No em dashes (—).** Use commas, periods, or regular dashes (-) instead.
+9. **No markdown formatting in Reddit.** No headers (##), no bold (**text**), no numbered lists. Write in plain paragraphs.
+10. **Never cross-post.** One post per topic per community.
+11. **Include imperfections.** Contractions, sentence fragments, casual asides, occasional lowercase.
+12. **Vary your openings.** Don't always start with credentials. Sometimes just jump into the topic.
+13. **Reply to comments on your posts.** Reply within 24h; an unanswered thread of your own looks neglected.
+
+### Bad vs Good (Comments)
+
+BAD: "Makes sense — Claude already tries to tail the output on its own but by then the tokens are already in context."
+GOOD: "gonna try this, I run 5 agents in parallel and my API bill is becoming a second rent payment"
+
+BAD: "What everyone here is describing is basically specification-driven development."
+GOOD: "I spend more time writing CLAUDE.md specs than I ever spent writing code. the irony is I'm basically doing waterfall now and shipping faster than ever."
+
+### Bad vs Good (Original Posts)
+
+BAD title: "What I Wish I'd Known Before My First Vipassana Retreat: A Complete Guide"
+GOOD title: "just did my 7th course, some things that surprised me"
+
+BAD body: Structured with headers, bold, numbered lists, "As a tech founder..."
+GOOD body: Paragraphs, incomplete thoughts, personal details, casual tone, ends with a genuine question
+
+### Bad vs Good (DM Replies)
+
+DM replies are texting-style. 1 to 3 sentences. Always reference something specific from the inbound. No unearned call offers, no fabricated links, no time-bound commitments. Booking links only when the matched project has `booking_link_auto_share: true` AND `qualification_status=qualified` on the DM row.
+
+BAD: "Hey! I saw your comment on r/startups about agent orchestration. I'd love to share what we're working on, would you be open to a quick call?" (cold-pitch shape, premature call ask)
+GOOD: "yo the point about agents racing on the same file hit home, we solved it with worktrees per agent. what's your setup?"
+
+BAD: "Great question! Our product handles exactly that scenario. Check out [link] for more details." (sales register, leading with link in an early DM)
+GOOD: "we hit that too, ended up using the accessibility API route because screenshot-based kept flaking on retina displays"
+
+BAD: "Absolutely! Let's do Thursday at 3pm, I'll send an invite." (time-bound commitment, bot has no calendar authority)
+GOOD: "yeah easier to figure it out here, what specifically are you trying to wire up?"
+
+BAD: "I totally understand your hesitation. But our solution is different because..." (defensive, pushy rebuttal)
+GOOD: "makes sense, we kicked it around for 6 months before pulling the trigger. what's been the blocker on your end?"
+
+---
+
+## Tiered Reply Strategy
+
+**Tier 1 — Default (no link):** Genuine engagement. Expand topic, ask follow-ups. Most replies.
+
+**Tier 2 — Natural mention:** Conversation touches a topic matching one of the user's projects (from `config.json → projects[].topics`). Mention casually, link only if it adds value. Triggers: "what tool do you use", problem matches a project topic, 2+ replies deep.
+
+**Tier 3 — Direct ask:** They ask for link/try/source. Give it immediately using `projects[].website` or `projects[].github` from config.json.
+
