Post Everywhere (All Platforms)

When to use

• The human has one piece of content and wants it on all (or several) platforms at once — an announcement, a launch, a photo, a link drop.
• Not the right skill when the content is format-specific: vertical short video → post-shortform; multi-part thread → post-threads; YouTube longform → post-longform. This skill is for one post, many platforms.

Prerequisites

• creatoros auth:check exits 0.
• All target account IDs: creatoros accounts:list --pretty — collect the _id of every account the human wants (default: all of them; confirm the list before publishing).
• The content exists: caption written, any media file on disk. Never post placeholders.

Steps

1. Confirm the target accounts. List platform + handle for each _id you're about to post to and get the human's OK (or their standing approval) — "everywhere" should never silently include an account they forgot was connected.

1. Validate the text against every platform's limit:

``sh creatoros validate:post-length --text "<caption>" --pretty ` If it fails for some platform, either trim once for all, or split into two posts:create` calls — full caption for the roomy platforms, tightened version for the strict ones. Ask the human which, unless the trim is trivial.

1. Upload media once (if any) — the URL is reusable across all platforms:

``sh creatoros media:upload path/to/asset.jpg ` Optionally pre-check it: creatoros validate:media --url <url> --pretty`.

1. Publish in one call across all accounts:

``sh creatoros posts:create \ --text "<caption>" \ --accounts <id1,id2,id3,...> \ [--media <url>] \ [--title "<title>"] \ [--hashtags <tag1,tag2>] ` --title applies where platforms use one (YouTube, Reddit). Add --scheduledAt <ISO-8601> --timezone <tz>` to schedule instead of publishing now (CreatorOS servers handle it — nothing needs to keep running locally).

1. Verify per platform:

``sh creatoros posts:get <postId> --pretty ` Check the status for every target account — a post can succeed on four platforms and fail on the fifth. Retry failures once with creatoros posts:retry <postId>`.

Judgment rules

• One size rarely fits all. A link-heavy caption suits X/Facebook but reads spammy on Instagram; hashtags help Instagram but clutter LinkedIn-style platforms. Offer a per-platform tweak when the mismatch is glaring — but keep it to one extra call, not one call per account.
• Reddit is not a billboard. If a subreddit target is involved, check creatoros validate:subreddit first and respect its rules — cross-posted marketing copy gets accounts banned.
• Confirm before "everywhere." The account list confirmation in step 1 is not optional on the first run.
• Media formats differ. A 16:9 video is fine for X/Facebook but wrong for Reels; if the human insists on "everywhere" with mismatched media, say which platforms will look off and let them choose.

Verification

• posts:create exits 0 and returns a post ID.
• posts:get <id> --pretty shows a success/scheduled status for every target account; every failure is reported to the human with the platform's error, never silently dropped.
• Report: where it went live (platform + link/ID where available), where it's scheduled, and anything that failed.
