Content Pipeline Skill

Safe content automation with human-in-the-loop approval. Draft → Review → Approve → Post.

Setup

npm install -g agent-content-pipeline
content init . # Creates folders + global config (in current directory)

For cryptographic approval signatures (password-protected):

content init . --secure

This creates:

• drafts/ — work in progress (one post per file)

• reviewed/ — human reviewed, awaiting your revision

• revised/ — you revised, ready for another look

• approved/ — human-approved, ready to post

• posted/ — archive after posting

• templates/ — review and customize before use

• .content-pipeline/threads/ — feedback thread logs (not posted)

Your Permissions

✅ Can do:

• Write to drafts/

• Read all content directories

• Revise drafts based on feedback

• Move revised files to revised/

• Run content list to see pending content

❌ Cannot do:

• Move files to approved/ (only the human can approve)

• Post content

• Set status: approved

Creating Content

One post per file. Each suggestion or draft should be a single post, not a collection.

File naming: YYYY-MM-DD-<platform>-<slug>.md

Use frontmatter:

---
platform: linkedin    # linkedin | x | reddit (experimental)
title: Optional Title
status: draft
subreddit: programming  # Required for Reddit
---

Your content here.

Tell the human: "Draft ready for review: content review <filename>"

The Review Loop

drafts/ → reviewed/ → revised/ → approved/ → posted/
              ↑          │
              └──────────┘
               more feedback

1. You write draft to drafts/

2. Human runs content review <file>:

   • With feedback → file moves to reviewed/, you get notified
   • No feedback → human is asked "Approve?" → moves to approved/

3. If feedback: you revise and move to revised/

4. Human reviews from revised/:

   • More feedback → back to reviewed/
   • Approve → moves to approved/

5. Posting happens manually via content post

After Receiving Feedback

When you get review feedback:

1. Read the file from reviewed/

2. Apply the feedback

3. Move the file to revised/

4. Confirm what you changed

5. (Optional) Add a note: content thread <file> --from agent

Platform Guidelines

LinkedIn

• Professional but human

• Idiomatic language (Dutch for NL audiences, don't be stiff)

• 1-3 paragraphs ideal

• End with question or CTA

• 3-5 hashtags at end

X (Twitter)

• 280 chars per tweet (unless paid account)

• Punchy, direct

• 1-2 hashtags max

• Use threads sparingly

• If Firefox auth fails, you can paste auth_token and ct0 manually

Manual cookie steps: 1) Open x.com and log in 2) Open DevTools → Application/Storage → Cookies → https://x.com 3) Copy auth_token and ct0

Reddit (experimental)

• Treat as experimental; API and subreddit rules can change

• Requires subreddit: in frontmatter

• Title comes from frontmatter title: (or first line if missing)

• Match each subreddit's rules and tone

Commands Reference

content list                    # Show drafts and approved
content review <file>           # Review: feedback OR approve
content mv <dest> <file>        # Move file to drafts/reviewed/revised/approved/posted
content edit <file>             # Open in editor ($EDITOR or code)
content post <file>             # Post (prompts for confirmation)
content post <file> --dry-run   # Preview without posting
content thread <file>           # Add a note to the feedback thread

Security Model

The security model separates drafting (AI) from approval/posting (human):

• ✅ Agent drafts content

• ✅ Agent revises based on feedback

• ❌ Agent cannot approve (human approves via content review)

• ❌ Agent cannot post

Posting is handled manually via CLI — never by the agent directly.

Platform-specific security

Both platforms require password to post. Tokens are extracted from Firefox and encrypted locally.
