Social Drafting Agent — Operator setup

This gets you running the /social-draft skill on your Mac so you can feed Josh draft tweets / LinkedIn posts in his voice. Josh approves and ships from his side.

One-time setup. ~5 minutes.

What this does

You type:

/social-draft cole sansom shipped a payments demo today

A Cloudflare Worker generates 3 candidates in Josh's voice (~5 seconds) and sends them to Josh's iMessage. Josh picks one and ships it. Your scope is create_draft only — you can't approve or publish.

Prerequisites

1. A Mac with macOS 13 or newer.
2. A @capitalfactory.com Google account. (Personal Gmail won't work — the domain is allow-listed.)
3. Homebrew. Run brew --version to check. If it's not installed: /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)".

Install steps

1. Install Claude Code

npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code

If npm isn't installed: brew install node first, then re-run the command above.

Confirm:

claude --version

2. Install the skills

npx -y @capitalthought/social-skill@latest install

That drops four skills into ~/.claude/skills/ — social-login (sign in), social-draft (generate), social-suggest (steer a new round), and social-push (preview-mode forward). Re-run any time to upgrade.

3. Sign in with Google

Start Claude Code:

claude

Then:

/social-login

Your browser opens to https://wittpost.com/auth/device. Click Continue with Google and sign in with your primary [email protected] account — not the short [email protected] alias. The page confirms you're signed in; the terminal writes your tokens to ~/.config/social/auth.json.

You'll see:

Signed in as <you>@capitalfactory.com (operator=op_<firstname>).
Access token expires in 3600s; /social-draft auto-refreshes.

Tokens last 30 days. To sign out: /social-logout.

4. Draft your first post

/social-draft cole shipped a payments demo today

(Use a real topic — Josh sees every draft. There's no test mode.)

You'll see 3 candidates in the terminal. Josh gets the same 3 candidates via iMessage and picks one.

Not quite right? Retry or suggest a direction

If none of the 3 land, you don't have to settle:

• Retry — re-run /social-draft <same topic> for a fresh 3 (no new input).
• Suggest — give it a direction and get a new round steered that way:

/social-suggest lead with the speed angle, drop the nostalgia

That re-drafts the same topic, leaning hard into your direction. Suggest as many rounds as you want — each builds on the last.

Preview mode (some operators)

Josh can set you to preview mode. If so, /social-draft generates the 3 candidates into YOUR terminal but does not text Josh — that's on purpose, so you can review and iterate first. The output will say so. When you've got the one you want:

/social-push <draft_id>

That forwards your single curated pick to Josh's approval chat. He approves/ships from there. (In the default "immediate" mode, you skip this — Josh is texted as soon as the candidates generate.)

Daily usage

/social-draft <what the post is about>

Optional steering for tone or framing:

/social-draft demo day prep --context "tone is excitement not nostalgia; mention 7 cities not just Austin"

Good drafts come from specifics, not adjectives:

• "Cole shipped a payments demo today" beats "Cole is great".
• Include proper nouns and @-handles. Wrong handles get flagged.
• Use --context for anti-frames (what NOT to do) and concrete reframes (what to do instead). Vague steering doesn't move output much.

Josh reviews on his timeline. You don't need to wait around — he'll ship one when he ships one.

If something breaks

| If you see this | Run this | |---|---| | not signed in. Run /social-login first. | /social-login | | 401 unknown_token from the Worker | /social-login (refresh expired) | | 400 suppressed | Rephrase — your topic hit the suppression list | | 400 invalid_input | Trim the topic (>500 chars or empty) | | Anything else | Screenshot + iMessage Josh |

What you can't do (by design)

| | | |---|---| | Generate drafts | Your scope | | Approve a draft | Josh-only | | Publish to X / LinkedIn | Josh-only | | Schedule for later | Josh-only | | See other operators' drafts | Each operator sees only their own |

The social agent is Josh's voice on his accounts; the human-in-the-loop is non-negotiable.

Multi-device

Tokens are per-machine. Sign in on multiple Macs independently; /social-logout on one doesn't affect the others.

To start over on a single Mac: rm ~/.config/social/auth.json && /social-login.
