Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned getlate-dev/social-media-api-best-practices at 4894065b8d.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

social-media-api-best-practices

What it does

This skill provides a curated set of guidelines and patterns for interacting with social media platforms programmatically. It helps AI agents navigate complex API structures, manage authentication securely, and adhere to platform-specific rate limits and content policies.

When to use it

  • Building automated workflows that require posting updates or retrieving public profiles across multiple networks.
  • Designing data ingestion pipelines that need to scrape or fetch social media metrics without triggering bans.
  • Developing chatbots that must handle OAuth flows and token refreshes for persistent user sessions.
  • Creating compliance checks to ensure AI-generated content meets specific platform community standards before publishing.

Key capabilities

  • Authentication management strategies including OAuth 2.0 implementation details.
  • Rate limiting adherence patterns to prevent API throttling or account suspension.
  • Data retrieval structures optimized for common social media endpoints.
  • Error handling protocols specific to transient network failures and platform outages.

Example prompts

  • "Generate a Python script using the best practices guide to securely authenticate with Twitter's API v2."
  • "What are the recommended rate limit headers I should check before posting an update on LinkedIn via API?"
  • "Explain how to handle token expiration errors when integrating Instagram Business API into my agent workflow."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your implementation includes exponential backoff logic, as social media APIs often return 429 status codes during high-traffic periods. Always verify the specific version of the API documentation referenced in the skill, as endpoints and permissions change frequently across platforms like X (Twitter), Facebook, and TikTok.
