## Core Workflow

1. **List brands** — `npx @wahlu/cli brand list`
2. **Switch to a brand** — `npx @wahlu/cli brand switch <brand-id>`
3. **List integrations** — `npx @wahlu/cli integration list` (get integration IDs for scheduling)
4. **Create a post** — `npx @wahlu/cli post create --name "Title" --instagram '{"description":"Caption","post_type":"grid_post"}'`
5. **Schedule it** — `npx @wahlu/cli schedule create <content-item-id> --at 2026-03-15T14:00:00Z --integrations <id>`
6. **Upload media** — `npx @wahlu/cli media upload ./photo.jpg` (returns a media ID)
7. **Check publications** — `npx @wahlu/cli publication list`

Use `npx @wahlu/cli --help` and `npx @wahlu/cli <command> --help` to discover all commands and options. Always use `--json` when you need to parse output.

## Quick Examples

npx @wahlu/cli media upload ./photo.jpg
# → media ID: mid-abc123

npx @wahlu/cli post create --name "New product launch" \
  --instagram '{"description":"Just launched!","post_type":"grid_post","media_ids":["mid-abc123"]}' \
  --tiktok '{"description":"Just launched!","post_type":"image","media_ids":["mid-abc123"]}' \
  --linkedin '{"description":"Just launched!","post_type":"li_image","media_ids":["mid-abc123"]}'

# Schedule for tomorrow at 9am
npx @wahlu/cli schedule create <content-item-id> \
  --at 2026-03-15T09:00:00Z \
  --integrations int-123 int-456 int-789
```

## Rules

- Always confirm with the user before publishing or scheduling
- Use `npx @wahlu/cli integration list` to find integration IDs — never guess them
- Use ISO 8601 format for all dates
- Use `--json` flag when you need to parse command output programmatically
