Set up preferences with your assistant

Configure posting preferences, content interests, quiet hours and notification choices through a conversation.

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

Requires access to the OwnPost repository. Installation and client options

When to use it

Use this skill for first-time personal setup or one concrete preference change. It reads what is already saved, so you can revisit a single setting without repeating onboarding.

For guided setup, the assistant asks one short question at a time and lets you skip sections. Skipped settings keep their current values. Hosting and MCP setup are separate prerequisites.

What you need

A working OwnPost MCP connection with full workspace tools. Preparation-only access cannot save personal settings. Keep connection credentials in the client’s private settings.

Install or select the skill

The ownpost entry skill includes this workflow. Use the command above if you want ownpost-setup 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-setup skill to set up my posting preferences. Reuse what is already saved, ask one question at a time and let me skip sections.

Use the ownpost-setup skill to set my timezone to Asia/Kolkata and turn off the daily posting goal. Keep my existing Posting Slots and other preferences.

How it works

  1. Ask for guided setup or supply the exact change you want. The assistant reads your current personal setup and reuses your saved choices.

  2. Choose your IANA timezone, posting times and optional daily goal. A goal of zero disables the target; it does not remove your drafts or routine.

  3. Add audience, interests and real experience only where useful. The assistant saves answered sections and keeps skipped sections.

  4. For notifications, specify both quiet-hour endpoints and your daily limit. Overnight ranges are supported; a daily limit of zero mutes all notifications.

  5. Read the saved summary and verify the values in Settings and Personal preferences. Connect Telegram or create routines separately when you want them.

Personal setup does not connect Telegram, create routines, change approved writing-style rules or publish a post. Quiet hours affect notification delivery, not publication times.

Check the result

Only the supplied sections change, and the assistant reports the values actually saved. Those values are visible in your workspace.

If something does not work

A permission error usually means the connection has preparation-only access. On a revision conflict, the assistant rereads the latest settings and preserves unrelated changes. When replacing Posting Slots, provide the complete intended list; use the scheduling skill to add or change selected slots.
