What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you draft Mastodon and Fediverse posts that fit the platform’s strictly chronological mechanics, hashtag-based discovery, and accessibility-focused norms (content warnings and alt text), so your writing is findable and appropriately paced for the community.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Hashtag-first reach guidance: choose the right tags (1–3, CamelCase conventions for multi-word tags) so your posts show up in Home timelines for hashtag followers rather than relying on an algorithm.
• CW (content warning) and alt-text conventions: format CW labels correctly for expand/click behavior and write functional alt text that avoids accessibility failures that can trigger blocks.
• Boost-oriented publishing strategy: distinguish favorite vs boost, explain why boosting is the real amplification mechanism, and align post goals accordingly.
• Instance-aware writing & etiquette: choose appropriate CW intensity, character-limit expectations, and thread/reply patterns based on typical local culture and post shape.

Quick Start

Use social-mastodon to draft a Mastodon post for your chosen instance, with optional CW and alt text, that includes 1–3 relevant hashtags and follows boost-oriented etiquette.
