Title: OpenPost skills Description: Give a compatible coding assistant OpenPost operating guidance. Canonical: https://docs.openpo.st/mcp/skills Source: [https://docs.openpo.st/mcp/skills](https://docs.openpo.st/mcp/skills) # OpenPost skills An Agent Skill is a set of instructions and supporting reference files that a compatible assistant can load for a task. It does not add a network connection, install a CLI, or store credentials. OpenPost currently publishes one public skill: `openpost-cli`. It teaches an assistant how to operate a running OpenPost instance through the `openpost` command. The skill covers: - checking the current instance, identity, and workspace before an action; - choosing between text posts, threads, and format-first Publications; - checking provider readiness and capabilities; - treating schedule, publish, retry, moderation, and deletion commands as changes; - verifying saved objects, jobs, Renditions, and lifecycle events after a change. Use the skill when a coding assistant supports Agent Skills and can run terminal commands. Use [MCP](https://docs.openpo.st/mcp/mcp-guide) instead when the assistant already has a working MCP connection. Use the [CLI directly](https://docs.openpo.st/automate/cli) for scripts, CI, or assistants that cannot load skills. ## Continue - [Install the skill and CLI](https://docs.openpo.st/mcp/skills/install) - [Understand how the CLI skill works](https://docs.openpo.st/mcp/skills/openpost-cli) - [Try practical skill use cases](https://docs.openpo.st/mcp/skills/use-cases)
