Setting Up Buffer
You need a Buffer account with at least one channel connected. The free tier allows one channel; the Essentials plan allows three. For the terminal workflow to be useful you want at least LinkedIn and one other platform.
Once your channels are connected, you need an API token. Buffer calls this an “access token” and it lives under Settings > Apps. Create a new app, give it a sensible name, and note the token. This is what the post-to-buffer skill uses.
Store it as an environment variable:
export BUFFER_ACCESS_TOKEN="your-token-here"Add that to your .zshrc or equivalent so it persists between sessions.
