  • Markdown instructions

    A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.

  • Works with any LLM

    AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.

  • 3 bundled files

    Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.

  • Open source

    Published by ndesv21 on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Socialclaw AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

1

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

  1. Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
  2. Choose "Install from GitHub".
  3. Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
    https://github.com/ndesv21/socialclaw/tree/main/skills/socialclaw
  4. Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.
Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.
2

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/ndesv21/socialclaw.git /tmp/socialclaw
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/socialclaw/skills/socialclaw .claude/skills/socialclaw
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Socialclaw in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Socialclaw on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Socialclaw is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

  • Loaded only when it is needed

    The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.

  • Switch models mid-chat

    Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

SocialClaw

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

This skill is an instruction layer for the hosted SocialClaw service. It teaches Claude Code how to:

  • get or use a workspace API key
  • call the SocialClaw HTTP API
  • understand provider and 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 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 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 account 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

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

bash
npm install -g socialclaw

Quick start

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

bash
open https://getsocialclaw.com/dashboard

Tell them:

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

Set:

bash
export SC_API_KEY="<workspace-key>"

If the CLI is installed, log in with it:

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

Otherwise validate the key over HTTP:

bash
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 and 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 and 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 or 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 and settings for the target account.
  6. Upload media if needed.
  7. Validate or preview the post or campaign.
  8. Apply it.
  9. Inspect posts, runs, analytics, or retry or reconcile if needed.

Provider-specific publishing notes

TikTok photo posts

TikTok photo/gallery posts are stricter than video posts. Before scheduling or applying a TikTok photo post:

  • Use image-only assets for the post; do not mix images and videos.
  • Keep each gallery within TikTok's connected-account capability limit, typically up to 35 images.
  • Normalize photos before upload to TikTok-safe dimensions. Prefer 1080x1920 JPEGs for vertical photo slides, or another standard TikTok-compatible aspect/size. Oversized or unusual dimensions can pass SocialClaw validation and initial TikTok acceptance, then fail later with picture_size_check_failed.
  • For photo galleries, set settings.autoAddMusic: true when the user wants TikTok to choose recommended music. TikTok's Content Posting API does not expose selecting a specific sound.
  • Avoid setting a visible name/title unless the user explicitly wants one. For TikTok posts, put user-facing copy in description; otherwise dashboards or previews may show an unwanted title field.
  • After posting a TikTok photo gallery, do not assume providerStatus: accepted means it is visible. Reconcile the post after a short delay:
bash
socialclaw posts reconcile --post-id <post-id> --json

Treat providerStatus: published with reconciliationStatus: confirmed as the stronger success signal. If reconciliation returns picture_size_check_failed, regenerate resized/padded images, upload those corrected assets, and reschedule.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Socialclaw AI skill do?

Social media scheduling and publishing via SocialClaw. Use when connecting accounts, scheduling posts, uploading media, or managing campaigns on X, LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Discord, Telegram, YouTube, Reddit, WordPress, or Pinterest.

Why use Socialclaw on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Socialclaw is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Socialclaw in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/ndesv21/socialclaw/tree/main/skills/socialclaw. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Socialclaw?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Socialclaw?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Socialclaw with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Socialclaw AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by ndesv21 under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
