Post to X (Twitter) from NanoClaw
NanoClaw can publish and schedule X (Twitter) posts through Postiz. Message NanoClaw from WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, or Discord, and it calls the Postiz skill to write tweets, split threads into ordered posts, set who can reply, and post into X Communities. Setup takes one skill install and one Postiz login.
Please make sure there is always a human in the loop.

NanoClaw is an open-source AI assistant that runs each agent in its own Docker container and is built on Anthropic's Claude Agent SDK. It was created as a smaller, easier-to-audit alternative to OpenClaw. It connects to WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, iMessage, and more, and supports per-group memory and recurring jobs.
Container-Based
NanoClaw runs in containers for easy deployment and isolation. Spin up your social media automation agent in seconds with Docker.
Multi-Platform Chat
Connect to WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, and more. Message NanoClaw from wherever you already communicate.
Memory & Context
NanoClaw remembers your preferences and past interactions. It learns your posting style and content strategy over time.
How Postiz Works with NanoClaw
NanoClaw discovers Postiz through its skill system. Add the Postiz skill to your NanoClaw fork and the agent reads the SKILL.md to learn every postiz command, then runs them inside its own container when you ask.

- ✓NanoClaw reads the SKILL.md and learns all Postiz commands
- ✓Authenticate with postiz auth:login (OAuth device flow) or a POSTIZ_API_KEY

Postiz works with any AI agent that can run commands or call MCP tools — you ask, the agent does the work. That includes Anthropic's Claude Code.
Claude Code
by Anthropic
Claude reads the Postiz skill so it knows what it can do, then autonomously discovers your X integration, composes your tweet or thread, applies reply settings, and schedules the post.

X and LinkedIn tomorrow at 9am, then schedule
a daily tip on X every weekday at 10am

You can ask NanoClaw for anything Postiz supports on X: a single post, a scheduled batch, or a recurring job. These are prompts you would type in WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, or Discord. @Andy is NanoClaw's default trigger word; use whatever name you gave your agent.
Schedule a thread

> @Andy turn my launch notes into a 5-tweet thread on X, schedule it for tomorrow at 9am, and let everyone reply
NanoClaw: Splits the text into five ordered tweets, sets who_can_reply_post to everyone, schedules for 9:00 AM.Post into a Community
Say to NanoClaw
> @Andy post this screenshot to the Indie Hackers X Community with verified-only replies at 2pm
NanoClaw: Uploads the image, sets community to the Community URL and who_can_reply_post to verified.Check what is queued
Say to NanoClaw
> @Andy what X posts do I have scheduled this week, and how did last week's thread do?
NanoClaw: Lists scheduled X posts and pulls post analytics for the thread.What should I know before posting to X from NanoClaw?
X has a few rules that Postiz enforces at publish time. NanoClaw applies them when you mention them in plain language, and asks when a required value is missing.
- ✓Standard X accounts are limited to 280 characters per post. Ask NanoClaw for a thread when your text is longer and it splits it into separate, ordered tweets.
- ✓who_can_reply_post is required on every X post. If you do not mention a reply setting, NanoClaw should ask or default to everyone.
- ✓To post into an X Community, give NanoClaw the Community URL (for example https://x.com/i/communities/...). A Community name alone is not enough.
- ✓Media is uploaded through Postiz first (postiz upload), then attached. Mention the file or send it in chat and NanoClaw handles both steps.
Frequently asked questions about NanoClaw and X
How do I post to X from NanoClaw?
Install the Postiz skill in your NanoClaw fork with npx skills add gitroomhq/postiz-agent, run postiz auth:login, and connect your X account in Postiz. Then message NanoClaw from WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, or Discord with the tweet text and time. It calls postiz posts:create with the X settings and confirms the schedule.
Can NanoClaw post X threads?
Yes. Ask for a thread and NanoClaw splits your text into separate tweets, each under 280 characters, and Postiz publishes them in order as replies to the first post. Each tweet in the thread can carry its own image or video, so you can attach different media to different parts of the thread.
Can NanoClaw control who replies to my X posts?
Yes. Postiz exposes who_can_reply_post with five values: everyone, following, mentionedUsers, subscribers, and verified. Say something like "only people I follow can reply" and NanoClaw maps it to the right value. The field is required, so every X post created through Postiz has an explicit reply setting.
Can NanoClaw post to X on a recurring schedule?
Yes. NanoClaw supports recurring jobs that you request in chat, for example "every weekday at 9am, post one tip from my notes to X". The agent wakes on that schedule, reads the source you point it at, and schedules the post through Postiz. Keep a human reviewing the queue in the Postiz calendar.
Does posting to X from NanoClaw need an X developer account?
No. You connect X to Postiz once with OAuth in the Postiz dashboard, and Postiz holds the connection. NanoClaw authenticates to Postiz with postiz auth:login (an OAuth device flow) or a POSTIZ_API_KEY. You never paste X API keys into NanoClaw or into your chat app.
Is this different from posting to X with OpenClaw?
The Postiz side is identical: the same skill, the same X settings, and the same Postiz account. The difference is the agent. NanoClaw is a smaller, container-isolated project built on the Claude Agent SDK, while OpenClaw is the larger original. If you run OpenClaw, use the OpenClaw X guide instead.
Post to other platforms from NanoClaw
The same Postiz skill covers 30+ channels. Start from the NanoClaw social media automation guide or jump to a platform that pairs well with X.
