Taisly Social Media Posting Skill

Use this skill when a user asks an AI agent to publish, schedule, or repost short-form video content through Taisly. The package is free to install and designed for AI-first posting workflows that can start without building platform integrations from scratch.

Rules

• Always discover platforms before posting.
• Ask for explicit confirmation before publishing to live social accounts unless the user already gave exact destination accounts, video file, caption, and schedule.
• If MCP tools are available, prefer them over shell commands; otherwise use the JSON-first CLI.
• For MCP publishing, call taisly_posts_create only with confirmed: true after explicit user approval.
• Never invent platform IDs.
• Never expose or print TAISLY_API_KEY.
• If Taisly returns a current-plan or limit error, explain agent.message when present and provide the returned agent.paymentLinks when available. Do not attempt payment without explicit user confirmation.
• Prefer scheduled posts when the user gives a future time.
• Save the returned historyId so status can be checked later.
• Supported local video extensions are .mp4, .mov, .avi, .mkv, .webm, .flv, .mpeg, and .mpg.

Environment

Prefer the browser setup flow when the user has not configured Taisly yet:

taisly setup --agent <agent-slug>
# Ask the user to open the returned loginUrl and finish authentication.
taisly checkin --agent <agent-slug>

Use a short slug for the current agent, for example claude-code, codex, cursor, windsurf, openclaw, hermes-agent, cline, or aider.

The checkin command stores a local Taisly agent credential for later CLI and MCP calls.

Manual API key fallback:

export TAISLY_API_KEY="taisly_..."

Remote MCP endpoint:

https://app.taisly.com/mcp

Remote MCP can publish only from public videoUrl values. Use the local MCP server or CLI when the video is a local file path available to the agent.

Commands

taisly auth:status
taisly setup --agent <agent-slug>
taisly checkin --agent <agent-slug>
taisly platforms:list
taisly integrations:list
taisly platforms:schema --platform TikTok
taisly posts:validate --video ./video.mp4 --platforms platform_id_1,platform_id_2 --description "Caption"
taisly posts:create --video ./video.mp4 --platforms platform_id_1,platform_id_2 --description "Caption" --scheduled "2026-06-14T09:00:00+07:00"
taisly posts:create --json ./campaign.json
taisly posts:list --page 1
taisly posts:status --id <historyId>
taisly reposts:create --from <platform_id> --to <platform_id_1,platform_id_2>
taisly mcp

All commands return JSON.

MCP Tools

When the MCP server is connected, use these tools instead of shell commands:

• taisly_agent_setup_start
• taisly_agent_checkin
• taisly_auth_status
• taisly_platforms_list
• taisly_platform_schema
• taisly_platform_connect_start
• taisly_platform_connect_check
• taisly_posts_validate
• taisly_posts_create
• taisly_posts_status
• taisly_posts_list
• taisly_reposts_list
• taisly_reposts_create

Posting Workflow

1. If Taisly is not connected yet, run taisly_agent_setup_start or taisly setup --agent <agent-slug> and give the user the returned login URL.
2. Wait for the user to finish browser login, then run taisly_agent_checkin or taisly checkin --agent <agent-slug>.
3. Run taisly auth:status.
4. Run taisly platforms:list.
5. If a requested platform is missing and a connect tool is available, run taisly platforms:connect:start --platform <name>, give the user the returned connectUrl, wait for browser approval, then run taisly platforms:connect:check --platform <name>. Supported connect slugs are instagram, tiktok, youtube, x, and facebook.
6. Match the user's requested platforms to connected platform IDs.
7. Run taisly platforms:schema --platform <name> for constraints.
8. Run taisly posts:validate.
9. Confirm destination accounts and caption with the user.
10. Run taisly posts:create.
11. Report the returned historyId, scheduled date, and per-platform initial statuses.

For MCP, follow the same sequence with taisly_auth_status, taisly_platforms_list, taisly_platform_connect_start, taisly_platform_connect_check, taisly_platform_schema, taisly_posts_validate, taisly_posts_create, and taisly_posts_status.

Error Handling

• TAISLY_API_KEY_MISSING: ask the user to create or provide an API key.
• SETUP_SESSION_MISSING: run taisly setup --agent <agent-slug>, ask the user to open the returned login URL, then run taisly checkin --agent <agent-slug>.
• PLATFORMS_REQUIRED: ask which connected accounts should receive the post.
• VIDEO_REQUIRED: ask for a local video path.
• LIMIT: tell the user the current plan limit has been reached. Use agent.message and agent.paymentLinks when present, ask them to upgrade in Taisly before retrying, and do not open or use payment links without explicit confirmation.
• POST_NOT_FOUND_IN_RECENT_HISTORY: tell the user the post was created but a dedicated status endpoint is not available yet; check Taisly History.

What Not To Do

• Do not post to every connected account unless the user explicitly asks.
• Do not retry posts:create blindly after a timeout; ask the user or check History first.
• Do not use unsupported file types.
