Also Works with Claude Code

Postiz Agent works as a CLI tool with any AI agent that can execute shell commands — including Anthropic's Claude Code.

Claude Code

by Anthropic

Claude reads the SKILL.md file to learn all available Postiz commands, then autonomously discovers your Twitch integration, picks the right message type and color, and sends the message.

Claude Code

> Send a purple announcement to Twitch:
  "Stream starting now! Let's build!"

Claude will automatically run:
  postiz integrations:list
  postiz posts:create \
    -c "Stream starting now!" \
    --settings '{"messageType":
      "announcement",
      "announcementColor":
      "purple"}' \
    -i "twitch-id"

Twitch + Other Platforms

Announce your stream on Twitch and other platforms in a single command. Each platform gets its own settings.

Terminal

# Announce stream on Twitch and Twitter simultaneously
postiz posts:create \
  -c "Going live now! Building a real-time dashboard" \
  -s "2025-01-15T18:00:00Z" \
  --settings '{"messageType":"announcement","announcementColor":"purple"}' \
  -i "twitch-id,twitter-id"

# Schedule a week of stream announcements
for day in 1 2 3 4 5; do
  postiz posts:create \
    -c "Stream day $day! Join us at 6pm" \
    -s "2025-03-0${day}T17:30:00Z" \
