Agent Skills

Install PostPeer Agent Skills so coding agents can post, schedule, upload media, list accounts, and fetch analytics through PostPeer.

PostPeer Agent Skills are instruction packs for coding agents. Install them once, add your PostPeer access key, and your agent gets ready-made workflows for social posting, scheduling, media uploads, account discovery, and analytics.

Use skills when you want a coding agent to work with PostPeer from your development environment. Use MCP when you want an MCP-compatible client to call PostPeer tools directly.

What are agent skills?

Agent skills are reusable instructions that teach an AI coding agent how to complete a specific kind of task.

Instead of explaining PostPeer's auth, endpoints, payloads, and workflow rules in every prompt, you install the skill once. When the task calls for it, the agent can read the skill and follow the right steps.

For PostPeer, the skills cover:

  • listing connected social accounts
  • creating and scheduling posts
  • preparing media uploads
  • listing, rescheduling, and canceling scheduled posts
  • fetching post analytics
  • using platform-specific helpers for Pinterest and TikTok

Install the skills

Run this in the environment where your coding agent reads skills:

npx skills add PostPeer-API/skills --all

Then create a PostPeer access key from the dashboard and make it available to your agent.

Most setups use an environment variable:

POSTPEER_ACCESS_KEY=your_access_key_here

Try it

Ask for a concrete result:

"Schedule a LinkedIn and X post for tomorrow at 9am announcing this release."

The agent can use the skill to list your connected accounts, choose the right account IDs, create the scheduled post, and leave it in PostPeer for review.

Scheduling is safer than immediate publishing.

Ask your agent to schedule posts first, then review them in the PostPeer dashboard before they go live. You can edit, reschedule, or cancel queued posts from the dashboard.

Skills vs MCP

Use Agent Skills when your coding agent supports skills and you want a local workflow that helps it write scripts, update code, or schedule posts while working in a repo.

Use PostPeer MCP when you want an MCP-compatible client like Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, ChatGPT, or another Streamable HTTP client to call PostPeer tools directly.

Both use the same PostPeer API underneath. Your credits, access-key permissions, connected accounts, and rate limits behave the same way.

Troubleshooting

  • The agent cannot find PostPeer actions — confirm the skills repo was installed in the same environment your agent is using.
  • Authentication fails — confirm POSTPEER_ACCESS_KEY is available to the agent and that the key works in the PostPeer dashboard.
  • The agent picks the wrong account — ask it to list connected accounts first, then name the account you want it to use.
  • You want human review — ask the agent to schedule posts instead of publishing immediately.
