What the threads-api Skill Does

The threads-api skill handles the two-step publishing flow that the Threads API requires:

1. Create a media container (the draft) — returns a container ID
2. Publish the container — makes it live

For text posts, this looks simple from the outside. You call the skill with your text; it creates the container and publishes it. For images and carousels, there’s a bit more to it.

The skill’s YAML header:

---
name: threads-api
description: Post to Threads directly via Meta Graph API. Handles text, images, and carousels.
tools: Bash
