Blacktwist Social Media Skills - Setup Guide

Source: skills.sh (14 core skills, ~21,400 combined installs) GitHub: blacktwist/social-media-skills (490⭐, 80 forks, MIT) Category: Marketing / Social Media First Seen: Sep 9, 2026 sweep (cluster surfaced via failed-query compensation; not previously evaluated) Quality Tier: 🟢 Production (Gen Agent Trust Hub Pass / Socket Pass / Snyk Pass)

A 14-skill suite that turns an agent into a social media content engine: platform context capture, content strategy and calendaring, per-platform post/thread/carousel/caption writing, hook generation, content repurposing, and performance analysis. Built for text-first platforms (LinkedIn, X, Threads, Bluesky) with dedicated caption support for visual-first platforms (Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, Pinterest, YouTube). Every skill is standard Agent Skills format (SKILL.md) with no platform binding.

Installation

Selective install via the skills.sh CLI (recommended - pick only what you need):

npx skills add blacktwist/social-media-skills --skill post-writer-sms hook-writer-sms

Full-suite install (all 14 skills):

npx skills add blacktwist/social-media-skills

List available skills first:

npx skills add blacktwist/social-media-skills --list

The CLI installs to .agents/skills/ (and symlinks into .claude/skills/). For Hermes Agent, copy the skill folders into the agent's skills directory:

# From a clone
git clone https://github.com/blacktwist/social-media-skills.git
cp -r social-media-skills/skills/* ~/.hermes/skills/

Prerequisites

Requirement Details
Hermes Agent Any version with a skills directory (~/.hermes/skills/)
Node.js 18+ For the npx skills path
Platform context The suite is prompt-driven; no API keys required - supply platform handles, audience details, and content pillars to social-media-context-sms once

Skill Roster

Group Skills
Foundation social-media-context-sms - captures platform context, audience details, content pillars, tone preferences used by every other skill
Strategy content-strategy-sms (pillars, targeting, positioning) · content-calendar-sms (cadence, themes, scheduling) · platform-strategy-sms (per-platform approach)
Creation post-writer-sms (standalone posts) · thread-writer-sms (multi-post threads with narrative arc) · carousel-writer-sms (slide-by-slide LinkedIn carousels) · caption-writer-sms (visual-platform captions) · content-repurposer-sms (cross-format adaptation) · hook-writer-sms (opening lines)
Analysis content-pattern-analyzer-sms (what's working) · performance-analyzer-sms (metrics) · optimization-advisor-sms (iteration) · audience-growth-tracker-sms (follower/momentum tracking)

Quick Start

  1. Install the skills (above)
  2. Run social-media-context-sms first - feed it platform handles, audience, pillars, and tone
  3. Ask for a post ("write a LinkedIn post about X") - the agent auto-selects post-writer-sms, thread-writer-sms, or carousel-writer-sms by request shape
  4. Iterate with optimization-advisor-sms and track with performance-analyzer-sms

CorpusIQ Use Cases

Use Case How
Social cadence engine CorpusIQ's all-platform posting schedule gets structured per-platform drafting (LinkedIn posts, X threads, IG captions) with consistent voice via the shared context skill
Content repurposing Turn newsletter/blog content into platform-adapted posts with content-repurposer-sms instead of one-size-fits-all cross-posting
Help-first UGC Operator-problem posts drafted fast with hook-writer-sms + post-writer-sms - the help-first doctrine applied at draft time
Growth experiments content-pattern-analyzer-sms + performance-analyzer-sms give the agent a structured loop for testing angles and doubling down on winners

Limitations / Verification

  • Repo cadence: last pushed May 2026 - content reflects platform norms as of then; treat platform-specific claims (character limits, format rules) as re-verifiable
  • Prompt-workflow skills: no API bindings - analysis skills read pasted/exported data rather than platform APIs
  • Alias noise on skills.sh: the 7 extra 1-install listings (e.g. post-writer vs post-writer-sms) are index aliases; the 14 -sms skills are the real ones
# Verify skill installed
ls ~/.hermes/skills/post-writer-sms/SKILL.md

Security

All three skills.sh security audits pass (verified Sep 9, 2026, spot-checked on social-media-context-sms, post-writer-sms, content-strategy-sms):
