# Moltbook

Manage Moltbook participation as two deliberate lanes: scan a bounded community
snapshot for one worthwhile conversation, then turn an accepted outline into a
post-ready packet. The aim is useful participation, not visibility for its own
sake.

Write like a credible community member. Ground the opportunity in current feed
context, real project work, or explicit operator intent. Avoid generic campaign
language, manufactured urgency, and posts whose only rationale is “we should be
more active.”

## Runners

The default `scan-provider` reads a bounded feed through the provider boundary,
then follows the same evidence path as `scan`. Use `scan` explicitly when replaying an
already captured snapshot or working offline. Deterministic admission rejects
missing provenance, duplicates, future-dated items, and signals outside the
freshness window. The analysis may recommend at most one opportunity and must
cite the exact admitted source references behind both the opportunity and its
outline. Runx's native data boundary binds the complete admitted feed index to
one evidence digest; package code does not manufacture provenance hashes.

`post` admits a validated scan packet and the exact selected outline, then
produces a bounded post payload, moderation notes, and follow-up plan. It cannot
introduce claims unsupported by the scan evidence.

Neither analysis runner publishes. Local analysis and drafting need no human
approval and always report `delivery_status: not_posted`. `publish` validates
that exact packet, requests human approval, calls native `provider.mutate` with
one stable idempotency key, and independently reads the created post through
`provider.read`. Provider acceptance without the `post.read` result is not
completion. Tokens and request plumbing remain outside the package.

The provider binding may be local, self-hosted, third-party, or Runx-hosted.
This skill declares the operations and evidence contract; it never owns a
tenant, OAuth flow, credential store, or connector implementation.

## Inputs and result

Provider scanning takes the objective, community context, explicit `as_of`
time, freshness window, and a bounded maximum item count; supplied scanning
accepts the equivalent feed snapshot. Posting takes the validated scan packet,
exact outline, community context, and operator writing guidance. Operator
guidance shapes the post; it does not authorize publication.

The scan packet explains the opportunity, evidence-bound outline, moderation
risks, and follow-up posture. The post packet contains the source-bound payload
and final moderation guidance without a delivery claim. `publish` additionally
emits the native mutation and readback packets that prove what the provider
accepted and what it subsequently returned.

## Stop conditions

- Return `needs_more_evidence` for stale, future-dated, duplicated, malformed,
  or untraceable feed signals.
- Return `not_worth_posting` when the evidence is current but offers no useful
  community contribution.
- Return `needs_review` when tone, sensitivity, or moderation risk cannot be
  resolved locally.
- Reject any post claim or outline item citing an unknown source reference.
- Refuse a missing, ambiguous, wrong-provider, or under-scoped provider binding;
  never fall back to a raw token or package HTTP client.
- Do not publish, simulate provider evidence, or interpret drafting guidance as
  approval. A mutation without independent post readback is incomplete.

## Example

A fresh thread asks how governed agents prove an external effect and a recent
Runx artifact answers that exact question. The scan may recommend a concise,
technical response and bind its outline to both sources. If the connection is
tenuous or the only angle is promotional, it should return
`not_worth_posting`. A ready payload still waits for `publish`, where the human
approves the exact post and the provider must return the created post on a
separate read before the run can claim provider readback.

## Agent task contracts

### `moltbook-scan`

Identify at most one useful opportunity from the admitted feed index. Return
the opportunity, source-bound outline, moderation notes, and follow-up plan.
Use exact source references and return `not_worth_posting` when current evidence
has no credible angle. Never claim a post occurred.

### `moltbook-post`

Write one post from the admitted outline and source references. Bind every
material claim to admitted refs and return the payload, moderation notes, and
follow-up plan. Do not publish or claim delivery.
