What is OpenClaw?

OpenClaw is the open-source personal AI agent with 145k+ GitHub stars. It runs locally on your machine, connects through apps you already use, and takes real actions on your behalf.

💬

Works Where You Are

Message OpenClaw from WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Signal, iMessage, or 10+ other platforms. No new app to learn.

🧩

Skill-Based Architecture

OpenClaw extends its abilities through Skills — lightweight plugins defined in Markdown files. Postiz is available as a skill on ClawHub.

⏰

Proactive Automation

Schedule recurring tasks with cron jobs. OpenClaw can post your Twitch announcements on a schedule without you having to ask each time.

How Postiz Becomes an OpenClaw Skill

When you install Postiz Agent globally, OpenClaw automatically discovers it by reading the bundled SKILL.md file. This file tells OpenClaw what commands are available, what environment variables are needed, and how to compose Twitch messages with the right settings.

✓Install from ClawHub with one command: clawhub install nevo-david/postiz
✓OpenClaw reads the SKILL.md and learns all Postiz commands
✓Eligibility is checked automatically — POSTIZ_API_KEY must be set
✓Skills are loaded on-demand, keeping the agent context clean
✓Works with any LLM backend: Claude, GPT, Gemini, Llama, and more

Install from ClawHub

# Install the Postiz skill
clawhub install nevo-david/postiz

# Or install the CLI globally
npm install -g postiz

# Set your API key
export POSTIZ_API_KEY=your_api_key

# Verify OpenClaw sees it
openclaw skills list --eligible

# Output:
# - postiz: Social media automation
#   CLI for scheduling posts
#   across 30+ platforms

Twitch Posting with OpenClaw

Message OpenClaw from any platform — it reads the Postiz skill, discovers your Twitch integration, and handles the entire posting workflow autonomously.

🦀

From Any Chat App

WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord...

Send a message to OpenClaw from your favorite chat app. It runs as a persistent daemon on your machine, so it picks up your message, discovers your Twitch channel via Postiz, and sends the announcement — all while you go about your day.

WhatsApp / Telegram

You: Send a purple announcement to my
  Twitch chat: "Stream starting in 5!"

OpenClaw: Got it! Here's what I'll do:
  1. Find your Twitch integration
  2. Send purple announcement
  3. Message: "Stream starting in 5!"

  Done! Your Twitch announcement is sent.
  Post ID: abc-123

Scheduled & Proactive

Cron jobs for recurring content

OpenClaw supports cron-based heartbeat tasks. Set up a recurring job that sends pre-stream announcements and chat messages automatically — no manual trigger needed.

openclaw.json (heartbeat)

{
  "heartbeat": [
    {
      "cron": "0 17 * * 1-5",
      "prompt": "Send a purple announcement
  to my Twitch chat via Postiz:
  'Stream starting in 30 minutes!
  Today we're building something
  cool.' Then 30 minutes later,
  send a green announcement:
  'We're LIVE! Let's go!'"
    }
  ]
}

Why OpenClaw + Postiz for Twitch

OpenClaw's skill system makes Postiz a natural fit. The agent reads the SKILL.md to understand every available command, then autonomously chains them together for Twitch workflows.

✓Message from WhatsApp to post a Twitch announcement — no terminal needed
✓Cron jobs for hands-free pre-stream and during-stream announcements
✓Structured JSON output lets OpenClaw verify each step succeeded
✓Announcement colors applied automatically based on your instructions
✓Cross-post to Twitch + other platforms in a single conversation
✓Model-agnostic — works with Claude, GPT, Gemini, or open-source LLMs

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" \
    --settings '{"messageType":"announcement","announcementColor":"green"}' \
    -i "twitch-id"
