Publisher (Social Scheduling via Blotato)

Takes approved posts from outputs/, generates infographic visuals for flagged posts, and schedules everything across platforms through Blotato MCP with a mandatory approval gate.

AutomationIntermediate★ 212⑂ 42AI score 8/10Last updated: Aug 24, 2026

What it does

  • Reads approved copy from outputs/linkedin, outputs/threads, outputs/x, outputs/captions and schedules posts to LinkedIn, Threads, X and Instagram via Blotato MCP.
  • Reads the BLOTATO FLAG: Yes — [type] handoff field to generate infographics — stat cards, framework diagrams, 3-step process graphics, quote cards — using brand colours from context/brand-style.md.
  • Phase 0 hard stop: verifies Blotato connectivity first and exits with setup instructions if it isn't configured, instead of throwing cryptic tool errors.
  • Non-optional approval gate: shows every proposed post (platform, time, caption preview, visual, account) before anything is submitted.
  • Produces a scheduling summary, logs failures/skips, updates context/workflow-status.md, and offers view/update/delete schedule actions.

Who it's for

  • Social media managers and agencies already on Blotato with the Blotato MCP server wired into Claude Code.
  • Teams using the sibling /linkedin-writer, /threads-writer, /x-writer, /caption-writer skills that emit the BLOTATO FLAG convention.
  • Anyone who wants a human confirmation step before bulk scheduling a month of content.

Examples

  1. "Schedule all of November's LinkedIn posts" → scans the month's files, summarises counts, builds stat cards only for flagged posts, presents the schedule for approval, then submits.
  2. "Show me what's already scheduled" → option D lists Blotato schedules so you can reschedule or delete a specific post.
  3. Invoked without Blotato connected → does nothing but print the account/MCP setup steps and point you to manual publishing.

Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code

Install the skill I found on Claude Skill Mart.
Copy the skills/publisher folder from the GitHub repo stevenflanagan1/social-ai-team into my ~/.claude/skills/publisher/.
When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.

Install with a command instead

git clone https://github.com/stevenflanagan1/social-ai-team.git && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r social-ai-team/skills/* ~/.claude/skills/

⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.

  1. Open a terminal and go to your working directory.
  2. Clone the repo: git clone https://github.com/stevenflanagan1/social-ai-team.git
  3. Create the skills directory: mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
  4. Copy the skills over: cp -r social-ai-team/skills/* ~/.claude/skills/ (install the whole set — publisher depends on the writer skills).

  6. Add the Blotato MCP server to your Claude Code configuration and restart Claude Code.
  7. With outputs/ content and context/brand-style.md in place, run /publisher. If Phase 0 reports "Blotato connected", you're ready to schedule.
