How the post-to-buffer Skill Works
The post-to-buffer skill wraps the Buffer GraphQL API into a consistent interface. You give it the post content and the target platform; it handles the API call.
The skill’s YAML header looks roughly like:
---
name: post-to-buffer
description: Queue a social media post to Buffer via GraphQL API.
tools: Bash
---The body contains instructions for constructing the GraphQL mutation and executing it via curl — or via a small Node script if you prefer. The Bash tool does the actual HTTP call.
When the social-media agent calls this skill, it passes:
- The formatted post text for each platform
- The channel ID for that platform
- Optionally a scheduled time (or nothing, to use the queue order)
