# Post Paths: `${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}` means the folder containing this SKILL.md, and `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}` the plugin folder two levels above it. Every question to the user goes in the question box: call the AskUserQuestion tool (2-4 options, the recommended one first). Only in an agent without that tool, ask numbered questions in text. `P="${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/lib/ai_editor/post.py"`. On Windows, use `py` wherever these commands say `python3`. ## 1. Accounts ```bash python3 "$P" accounts ``` - **Exit 2 (no key):** posting is not set up. Open the home window on Settings (`python3 "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/lib/ai_editor/home.py" serve`, then the Settings page) and say in one line: "Make a Zernio account (the link is on the Auto-post card in Settings), connect your apps there, then paste its API key on that card." Never ask for the key in the chat. Run `accounts` again when they say it is done. - **No accounts:** the Auto-post card in Settings has a Connect button per app. Each press adds one account, so pressing TikTok twice adds two TikToks. In a terminal only: `python3 "$P" connect tiktok` prints the sign-in link to open. - An account marked `"active": false` is signed out: its Sign in again button on the Auto-post card in Settings fixes it. ## 2. What to post - **The video:** the approved render (`edits/<name>/render.mp4`, a clip's render, or a file the user names). - **Accounts:** one AskUserQuestion with `multiSelect: true`, one option per account, labelled `@username (Platform)`. With more than 4 accounts, ask per platform. Never guess between two accounts on one platform. If the user already named them ("all of them", "just my TikTok"), use that and skip the question. - **Caption:** write it from the video's own words (`edits/<name>/captions.json` or `words.json`): the hook line, one short line on what it shows, no hashtag wall. YouTube also needs a title (100 characters at most). - **When:** now, unless the user gave a time. A time needs their time zone (`--tz America/Chicago`). ## 3. Confirm, then send Show the caption, title, accounts and time in one AskUserQuestion: Post it / Change the caption / Not now. TikTok requires the user to have seen the post before it goes out, so never send without this yes. ```bash python3 "$P" send edits/<name>/render.mp4 --to <id>,<id> --caption "..." [--title "..."] [--at 2026-10-20T09:00 --tz America/Chicago] [--trial] ``` `--trial` posts an Instagram Trial Reel (only when the user asks for one). `send` uploads, posts, and waits until every account is published or failed. A retry with the same video, accounts and caption never posts twice. ## 4. Hand back One line per account: platform, @username, and the live link (or the time it is scheduled for). A failed account: say its error in plain words and offer to retry just that one (`send` with only its id). Exit 1 is Zernio refusing: give its message as it is.
