Typefully Agent Skills

Agent Skills are markdown-based instruction packs that teach AI agents how to perform specific tasks.

The Typefully Agent Skill allows your AI agent to interact with Typefully through the Typefully API, so it can create drafts, update posts, manage scheduling, and help automate your content workflow.

What is skills.sh?

skills.sh is an open ecosystem created by Vercel for discovering and installing Agent Skills across different AI agents and developer tools.

What you can do with the Typefully Agent Skill

Once installed, your AI agent can help you:

  • Create drafts in Typefully (including threads and multi-platform drafts)

  • Update existing drafts

  • Upload media and attach it to posts

  • Add or edit tags

  • Schedule drafts (including "next free slot" scheduling)

  • View your queue and manage queue schedule

  • Cross-post to specific platforms or all connected platforms at once

  • Reply to and quote existing posts

  • Leave comments on drafts and manage comment threads

  • View X post analytics and follower growth

  • Add internal scratchpad notes to drafts

Requirements

  • A Typefully account

  • A Typefully API key

  • Node.js 18+ on your machine (required by the installer)

Keep your API key private. Treat it like a password.

Install the Typefully Agent Skill

  1. Open a terminal. Launch your preferred terminal application.

  2. Run:
    ​ npx skills add typefully/agent-skills

  3. Follow the setup prompts

The installer will guide you through setup options, including:

  • Installing globally or per project

  • Choosing which AI agents or tools can access the skill

  • Configuring authentication

Configure your Typefully API Key

During setup, you'll be prompted to provide your Typefully API key.
​

Create an API key

  1. Open Typefully

  2. Create a new API key

  3. Copy the key

Add the API key

Paste the API key when prompted during installation.

If you installed the skill but need to reconfigure your API key later, you can run the setup command directly:

./scripts/typefully.js setup

Or set it as an environment variable:

export TYPEFULLY_API_KEY=your_key_here

If you encounter an "API key not found" error:

  • Run the setup command above to reconfigure

  • Confirm you're using the correct environment

  • Verify the API key was copied correctly

Example Prompts

Once installed, you can ask your AI agent things like:

  • "Draft a post about AI productivity in Typefully."

  • "Turn this into an X thread and a LinkedIn post, then save both as drafts."

  • "Schedule this post for tomorrow at 9 AM."

  • "Add the 'Announcement' tag and schedule it to my next free slot."

  • "Upload this image and attach it to my draft."

  • "Show my X post analytics for last week."

  • "What's in my queue for next week?"

Keeping the skill updated

As Typefully adds new features, you may need to update the installed skill.

If you installed via the skills CLI, the most common update command is:

npx skills update

If that doesn't work in your environment, re-installing is also fine:

npx skills add typefully/agent-skills

Troubleshooting

The skill is installed, but my agent can't use it

Try the following:

  • Re-run the install command

  • Confirm the skill was enabled for the correct agent or tool

  • Restart your AI agent or editor

Some clients only refresh installed skills after restarting.

The agent can't find my Typefully API key

  • Run the setup command: ./scripts/typefully.js setup

  • Verify you installed the skill in the same environment you're currently using

  • Check whether you installed the skill globally or per project

I'm using Notion AI instead of a coding agent

If you want to use Typefully from Notion AI, you'll usually want to connect Typefully via the Typefully MCP Server instead.
