1. Setup

Before you can use this skill, you need to set up credentials for each platform you want to use.

1.1 Instagram Setup

1. Prerequisites:
• An Instagram account with Creator or Business status.
• A Facebook Page connected to your Instagram account.
• A Facebook App with the necessary permissions: instagram_basic, instagram_content_publish, pages_show_list, pages_read_engagement.
• A long-lived User Access Token from your Facebook App.

1. Credential Files:

Create the following files inside the {baseDir}/credentials/ directory:

• instagram_user_access_token: Paste your long-lived User Access Token into this file.
• instagram_account_id: Paste your Instagram Account ID into this file.

1.2 YouTube Setup

1. Prerequisites:
• A Google Cloud Platform project with the YouTube Data API v3 enabled.
• OAuth 2.0 credentials (client ID and client secret).

1. Authentication:

Run the one-time authentication command to authorize the skill and generate your initial credentials:

```bash

bash {baseDir}/run.sh auth --platform youtube

```

Follow the on-screen instructions to log in with your Google account and grant permission. This will create a youtube_credentials.json file in the {baseDir}/credentials/ directory.

2. Usage

The primary command is post, which takes a platform and platform-specific arguments.

2.1 Post to Instagram

This command posts a single image with a caption to your Instagram account.

Command:

bash {baseDir}/run.sh post --platform instagram --image-url <url_to_image> --caption "Your caption here"

Parameters:

• --platform instagram: Specifies that the target is Instagram.
• --image-url : Required. A public URL to the image you want to post. The image must be accessible from the internet.
• --caption "": Required. The text caption for your post.

Example:

bash {baseDir}/run.sh post --platform instagram \
  --image-url "https://i.imgur.com/removed.png" \
  --caption "Just chilling with my OpenClaw agent! 🤖 #OpenClaw #AI #automation"

2.2 Post to YouTube

This command uploads a video file to your YouTube channel.

Command:

bash {baseDir}/run.sh post --platform youtube --file <path_to_video> --title "Title" --description "Description" [options]

Parameters:

• --platform youtube: Specifies that the target is YouTube.
• --file : Required. The local path to the video file you want to upload.
• --title "": Required. The title of the video (max 100 characters).

  --description "Check out this cool video that my OpenClaw agent helped me create!" \
  --privacy "public" \
  --tags "AI,OpenClaw,automation,tech"

3. Credential Management

Refresh YouTube Token

The YouTube access token expires periodically. The script attempts to refresh it automatically, but you can also trigger a manual refresh if needed.

bash {baseDir}/run.sh auth --platform youtube --refresh

4. Scripts (for implementation)

This SKILL.md is the user-facing documentation. The actual logic would be implemented in a run.sh script that parses the arguments and calls the appropriate platform-specific logic.

A simplified run.sh might look like this:

#!/bin/bash
set -e

PLATFORM=""

# Parse platform first
if [ "$1" == "--platform" ]; then
    PLATFORM="$2"
    shift 2
fi

case $PLATFORM in
    instagram)
        # Execute instagram logic with remaining args: "$@"
        echo "Calling Instagram script with: $@"
        # ./instagram_poster.sh "$@"
        ;;
    youtube)
        # Execute youtube logic with remaining args: "$@"
        echo "Calling YouTube script with: $@"
        # ./youtube_uploader.sh "$@"
        ;;
    *)
        echo "Error: Unknown or missing platform. Use --platform [instagram|youtube]"
        exit 1
        ;;
