skill-publish-scheduler · Batch Publish Scheduler

A batch scheduling skill for timed publishing: it manages a "content × platform × publish time" schedule — importing plans, viewing the queue, computing due items, and dispatching each due item to the right platform publishing skill, then marking statuses back. The scheduling logic is pure standard-library scripting; it never drives a browser or calls a publishing API itself.

"Watchdog" on-time triggering depends on an upper-layer cron job calling it periodically; the script only computes due items per run.

Example invocation: "Schedule these three posts for Douyin and Xiaohongshu at 8pm Wednesday and Friday."

Full brief

Positioning

skill-publish-scheduler is the scheduling and status layer: it manages a "content × platform × publish time" schedule, dispatches due items to each platform's publishing skill, and marks statuses back. It handles scheduling and state only — real publishing is delegated to the platform publishers.

Core capabilities

• Schedule import: accepts CSV (headers must include publish_at, platform, content; optional title, note) or equivalent JSON.
• Queue view & due computation: list views the queue; due/run compute what's due now and the dispatch plan.
• --now dry rehearsal: overrides the current time to preview what would publish at a given moment, without affecting real time.
• Per-platform delegation: each due item is handed to its platform's publisher skill (skill-xhs-publisher / skill-douyin-upload / skill-wechat-publisher / skill-bilibili-upload / cross-platform-publish), with content adapted per platform before publishing.
• Status marking: mark records each item's outcome; can pair with skill-publish-notify for result pushes and skill-publish-log for records.
• Pure-script scheduling: scheduling logic in pure stdlib, no resident process.

Workflow

1. import the schedule
2. list to view the queue
3. due/run to get due items and the dispatch plan
4. Delegate each due item to its platform publisher for real publishing
5. mark each item's status back

Inputs & outputs

Output: queue view, due items, dispatch plan, status-mark confirmations.

Boundaries with adjacent skills

• Platform publisher skills (skill-xhs-publisher / skill-douyin-upload / skill-wechat-publisher / skill-bilibili-upload): drive browsers/APIs for real publishing (environment-dependent). This skill only manages scheduling and status — it never publishes directly.

Fit

• Distributing multiple posts to platforms on a fixed timetable
• Simultaneous multi-platform publishing at one moment
• Rehearsing a publish plan for a future moment
• Scenarios needing unified tracking of publish statuses

Before you start

• Prepare a schedule with publish_at, platform, content; use YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM for times; multiple platforms at the same moment go due together.
• Timed triggering depends on an upper layer (OpenClaw cron or manual periodic runs) — the script is stateless due-computation plus a persisted queue, not a daemon.
• Always mark after each publish to avoid duplicates.
