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 LinkedIn integration, uploads your images, creates a carousel if needed, and schedules the post.

Claude Code

> Create a LinkedIn carousel from my
  slide deck images, schedule for
  tomorrow morning

Claude will automatically run:
  postiz integrations:list
  postiz upload ./slide1.png
  postiz upload ./slide2.png
  postiz upload ./slide3.png
  postiz posts:create \
    -c "Key takeaways from Q1..." \
    -m "slide1-url" -m "slide2-url" \
    -m "slide3-url" \
    -s "2025-03-02T09:00:00Z" \
    --settings '{"post_as_images_carousel":
      true,"carousel_name":
      "Q1 Takeaways"}' \
    -i "linkedin-id"

LinkedIn + Other Platforms

Schedule the same content to LinkedIn and other platforms in a single command. Each platform gets its own settings.

Terminal

# Post to LinkedIn and X simultaneously

  --settings '{}' \
