## When to use it

Use this skill for a clear collection of selected items: creating several drafts, archiving old work, changing categories, planning reminders or maintaining Ideas.

Content batches contain 1–25 items and each item commits independently. The assistant reports partial results and retries only items that need attention.

## What you need

Full workspace tools, a clear action and a precise selection or filter. For generation, provide the brief and desired quantity. For scheduling, provide intended times or a request to use actual available slots.

## Try it

Select the skill in your connected assistant, then adapt these examples to your own content.

```
Use the ownpost-bulk skill to create three separate drafts in my saved style about these release facts: Ideas now supports search across titles, source text and creators. The feature is available today. Use a different opening for each draft and save them without scheduling.

Use the ownpost-bulk skill to archive the drafts selected in OwnPost. Report which drafts were archived and which need attention.
```

## How it works

1. Identify selected IDs or a narrow filter, and state the changes you want. The assistant resolves the full authorized selection using pagination when needed.

2. Before writing, it reads current item versions. New drafts receive separate request identities; edits preserve thread-part IDs and their attachments.

3. It splits larger content collections into batches of at most 25 and applies only the requested action. A writing request does not imply scheduling.

4. Read succeeded and failed counts together with per-item results. Successful items remain saved when another item fails.

5. Resolve failed items with fresh state and retry only those items. Recheck the resulting collection in your workspace.

> Bulk writes do not publish to X. Everyday cleanup archives content. Permanent Idea deletion requires an explicit request identifying the eligible archived Ideas.

## Check the result

Every requested item has a confirmed result or an actionable failure, with saved IDs and accurate totals. Retrying a failed item does not repeat successful changes.

## If something does not work

A stale post version or newly occupied time affects that item, not the entire content batch. Inspect uncertain creates before retrying. Dedicated slot creation and deletion accept 1–100 items and are atomic, so they follow different retry rules from content batches.
