Plan reminders and Posting Slots

Choose a real available time for a draft or adjust recurring posting preferences in your workspace timezone.

INSTALL THIS SKILL
npx skills@latest add https://github.com/zero-efforts/ownpost/tree/main/plugins/ownpost/skills --global --skill ownpost-schedule --agent codex

Requires access to the OwnPost repository. Installation and client options

When to use it

Use this skill to plan a manual publishing reminder, move a planned draft or maintain preferred Posting Slots. It reads the saved timezone and actual schedule choices before changing a post.

A Posting Slot is a recurring preference. A scheduled draft has one saved time. Changing the preference does not move posts you have already planned.

What you need

A full-access MCP connection and a saved draft, or a writing brief if you want the assistant to create it first. Your intended local time or next-available preference must be clear.

Install or select the skill

The ownpost entry skill includes this workflow. Use the command above if you want ownpost-schedule as a separate shortcut, or select it from your installed plugin.

Try it

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

Example requests
Use the ownpost-schedule skill to plan this draft for the next available Posting Slot as a manual reminder.

Use the ownpost-schedule skill to add a Posting Slot at 10 AM on Tuesdays and Thursdays in my saved timezone. Keep my existing slots.

How it works

  1. Select the draft or identify it by context. The assistant reads its current revision and your saved timezone.

  2. Ask for a specific local date and time, or the next available Posting Slot. Moving a post uses availability that excludes its existing reservation.

  3. The assistant saves the manual reminder and reports the local date, time and timezone. A write-and-plan request creates the draft before planning it.

  4. For recurring preferences, specify weekdays and times. The assistant adds, edits or deletes only the slots you request and checks the resulting list.

  5. Review the saved plan in Posts or Calendar. Use the API approval flow separately when the intended result is automatic delivery.

The scheduling skill’s draft action creates a manual reminder. Automatic delivery requires an existing matching owner-approved API publication job and its publishing permissions.

Check the result

The selected post has the intended manual-reminder time, or the slot list reflects exactly the requested recurring preferences. Existing planned posts retain their saved instants after slot changes.

If something does not work

If no preferred time is free, choose a custom future time or add a slot. On an uncertain slot creation, inspect the list before retrying to avoid duplicates. Resolve an ambiguous repeated daylight-saving hour explicitly.
