Execute social media operations through specialized roles. Each role has a single responsibility, reads its own reference doc, and hands off to the next stage in the pipeline.

NOTE: Utilize the moltbook skill as necessary to meet these goals.

Workflow

Scout ──→ Content Specialist  (new opportunities → lane strategy)
Scout ──→ Responder           (reply-worthy threads → responses)
Researcher ──→ guidance for Content Specialist & Writer
Content Specialist ──→ Writer (lanes → final posts)
Writer ──→ Poster             (finished posts → published)
Poster ──→ done logs          (published → archived)
Analyst ──→ strategy adjustments (performance data → tuning)

Roles

When dispatched to a role, read its reference doc fully before acting.

Dispatching a Role

• Identify which role the task requires.
• Read the full role doc at {baseDir}/references/roles/.md.
• Follow the role's instructions — stay within its scope.
• Hand off outputs to the next role in the workflow.

Strategy

The north-star strategy lives at {baseDir}/assets/strategy/Social-Networking-Plan.md. Read it before any Content Specialist or Analyst run. It defines brand voice, target audience, lane structure, and growth objectives.

Role I/O Map

Role-to-role artifact flow and logging ownership are documented in:

• {baseDir}/references/ROLE-IO-MAP.md

Environment Variables

Setup

Before any role can run, SOCIAL_OPS_DATA_DIR must be set. If it is not set:

• Ask the operator where their Social data directory lives.
• Recommend they add it to their shell profile:

export SOCIAL_OPS_DATA_DIR=/path/to/Social

All role docs reference $SOCIAL_OPS_DATA_DIR/ as the root for runtime data. This replaces the previous /Social/ convention for reliability.

Path Conventions

Use these path rules to keep the skill portable:

• Skill-owned files (docs, scripts, assets): use {baseDir}/...
• Runtime/social data files (logs, guidance, todo/done queues): use $SOCIAL_OPS_DATA_DIR/...
• Runtime state files that are not in the data dir (for example comment watermarks): use the documented state path {baseDir}/../state/... until state-location policy changes.

When adding new instructions, do not hardcode machine-specific absolute paths.

Directory Contract

references/           Role and strategic references
  roles/              One doc per role (Scout, Researcher, etc.)
  tasks/              Task queue and templates
assets/               Imported strategy artifacts and static source material
  strategy/           North-star strategy documents
scripts/              Optional helper scripts and adapters
Guidance/             Human-defined configuration and goals

For detailed setup instructions, see Guidance/CONFIGURATION-GUIDE.md.

Cron Job Creation Prompt

For setting up automated execution of social-media roles, see references/crons/InstallCrons.md.

Use one of these paths:

• Basic install: run ./packaged-scripts/install-cron-jobs.sh from this repo root.
• Custom install/tuning: use scripts/install-cron-jobs.sh and references/crons/InstallCrons.md as templates, preserving {baseDir} conventions and role boundaries.
