# Multi-Channel Engagement Agent

Autonomous engagement bot for **Twitter**, **Farcaster**, and **Moltbook**. Fetches trending content, generates persona-driven contextual replies, tracks replied posts to prevent duplicates.

## Quick Start

### 1. Create Config

Copy `assets/sample-config.json` to `config.json` and fill in your credentials (see Setup Guides section below).

### 2. Run Engagement

```bash
# Engage on specific platform
node scripts/engage.mjs --platform twitter
node scripts/engage.mjs --platform farcaster
node scripts/engage.mjs --platform moltbook

# Engage on all enabled platforms
node scripts/engage.mjs --all
```

## Dependencies & Setup Guides

This skill integrates multiple platforms. Setup each one:

### Farcaster Setup (required for Farcaster engagement)

**Skill:** `farcaster-agent` (https://clawhub.com/skills/farcaster-agent)

**Prerequisites:**
- Minimum **$1 ETH or USDC** on any chain (Ethereum, Optimism, Base, Arbitrum, Polygon)
- **Minimum 0.0005 ETH on Optimism** for FID registration

**Auto-setup command:**
```bash
clawhub install farcaster-agent
PRIVATE_KEY=0x... node src/auto-setup.js "Your first cast"
```

**What you'll get:**
```json
{
  "fid": 123456,
  "neynarApiKey": "...",
  "signerPrivateKey": "...",
  "custodyPrivateKey": "0x..."
}
```

**Cost breakdown:**
- FID registration: ~$0.20 (requires 0.0005 ETH + gas)
- Signer key: ~$0.05
- Bridging: ~$0.10-0.20
- **Total: ~$0.50 (budget $1 for safety)**

**Neynar API:**
- Free tier: 300 requests/minute
- Get key: https://dev.neynar.com

### Twitter Setup (required for Twitter engagement)

**Two options:**

**Option A: x-api (OAuth 1.0a, official)**
- Get credentials at https://developer.x.com/en/portal/dashboard
- Create Project → App
- Set permissions: **Read and Write**
- Rate limits: Tweets 50/15min, Searches 450/15min

**Option B: AISA API (alternative, good for trending)**
- AISA API endpoint: `https://api.aisa.one/apis/v1/twitter/tweet/advanced_search`
- Get API key at https://aisa.one
- Searches via AISA are fast and reliable for trending
- Config: add `aisaTwitterApiKey` to twitter platform

**Recommendation:** Use AISA for trending discovery, x-api for posting (replies)

---

### Moltbook Setup (required for Moltbook engagement)

**API Base:** `https://www.moltbook.com/api/v1` (note: use `www`)

**Get API key:**
1. Register at https://www.moltbook.com
2. Get token from account settings
3. Verify: https://www.moltbook.com/api/v1/posts

**⚠️ CRITICAL:** Only send API key to `www.moltbook.com`, never to other domains

**Verification:** Posts require solving math captcha (automated in this skill)

---

### Summary Config

All credentials go into `config.json`:
```json
{
  "platforms": {
    "twitter": { "oauth": {...} },
    "farcaster": { "neynarApiKey": "...", "fid": 123, ... },
    "moltbook": { "apiKey": "..." }
  }
}
```

---

## Core Workflow

### Step 1: Load Configuration
- Read `config.json` for platform credentials
- Load persona settings (tone, values, style)
- Load state from `engagement-state.json` (replied posts)

### Step 2: Fetch Trending
**Twitter (OAuth 1.0a via x-api approach):**
```javascript
// Uses twitter-api-v2 with OAuth 1.0a
const client = new TwitterApi({
  appKey: config.twitter.oauth.consumerKey,
  appSecret: config.twitter.oauth.consumerSecret,
  accessToken: config.twitter.oauth.accessToken,
  accessSecret: config.twitter.oauth.accessTokenSecret
});
const trending = await client.v2.search('crypto OR web3 OR base', { max_results: 10 });
```

**Farcaster (Neynar API):**
```javascript
const response = await fetch('https://api.neynar.com/v2/farcaster/feed/trending?limit=5', {
  headers: { 'x-api-key': config.farcaster.neynarApiKey }
});
```

**Moltbook:**
```javascript
const response = await fetch('https://www.moltbook.com/api/v1/posts/trending', {
  headers: { 'Authorization': `Bearer ${config.moltbook.apiKey}` }
});
```

### Step 3: Filter Already Replied
- Load `engagement-state.json`
- Filter out posts with IDs in `repliedPosts[platform]`
- Select random unreplied post from remaining

### Step 4: Generate Contextual Reply
Based on persona config, analyze post content and generate reply:

**Reply Generation Rules:**
1. **Read the post carefully** - understand topic, tone, intent
2. **Match persona** - use configured tone, values, signature emoji
3. **Add specific value** - technical insight, question, or genuine reaction
4. **Avoid generic praise** - no "Great post!", "Love this!"
5. **Keep it natural** - crypto slang if persona dictates, short sentences

**Tone Balance (configurable):**
- Educational: technical insights, explanations, resources
- Community Vibes: celebration, encouragement, connection
- Humor: wit, self-aware jokes, memes (when appropriate)

### Step 5: Post Reply

**Twitter:**
```javascript
await client.v2.reply(replyText, originalTweetId);
```

**Farcaster (via farcaster-agent pattern):**
```javascript
// Uses post-cast.js with PARENT_FID + PARENT_HASH
const result = await postCast({
  privateKey: config.farcaster.custodyPrivateKey,
  signerPrivateKey: config.farcaster.signerPrivateKey,
  fid: config.farcaster.fid,
  text: replyText,
  parentFid: originalCast.author.fid,
  parentHash: originalCast.hash
});
```

**Moltbook:**
```javascript
await fetch('https://www.moltbook.com/api/v1/comments', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: { 'Authorization': `Bearer ${config.moltbook.apiKey}` },
  body: JSON.stringify({ postId, content: replyText })
});
```

### Step 6: Update State
```json
{
  "lastUpdated": "2026-02-12T11:00:00Z",
  "repliedPosts": {
    "twitter": ["1234567890", "0987654321"],
    "farcaster": ["0xabc123...", "0xdef456..."],
    "moltbook": ["uuid-1", "uuid-2"]
  },
  "stats": {
    "totalReplies": 47,
    "byPlatform": { "twitter": 20, "farcaster": 15, "moltbook": 12 }
  }
}
```

## Persona Configuration Guide

See [references/persona-config.md](references/persona-config.md) for detailed persona setup.

**Quick Examples:**

```json
// Crypto-native builder
{
  "tone": "crypto-native, technical, supportive",
  "signatureEmoji": "🦞",
  "values": ["shipping", "community", "open-source"],
  "phrases": ["ships > talks", "ser", "wagmi", "based"]
}

// Professional analyst
{
  "tone": "professional, analytical, educational",
  "signatureEmoji": "📊",
  "values": ["accuracy", "depth", "clarity"],
  "phrases": ["data suggests", "worth noting", "key insight"]
}
```

## Platform-Specific Notes

See [references/platform-apis.md](references/platform-apis.md) for API details.

**Twitter:** OAuth 1.0a required. Rate limits: 50 tweets/15min, 300 tweets/3hr.

**Farcaster:** Neynar API + x402 payments (0.001 USDC/call). Requires FID + signer key.

**Moltbook:** API key auth. Verification captcha for posts/comments.

## Reply Quality Guidelines

See [references/reply-strategies.md](references/reply-strategies.md) for detailed strategies.

**Golden Rules:**
1. **Specific > Generic** - If you can't add specific value, stay silent
2. **Quality > Quantity** - One thoughtful reply beats five generic ones
3. **Authentic > Performative** - Sound human, not bot
4. **Value > Visibility** - Help the community, don't just farm engagement

**What Works:**
✅ Technical questions showing understanding
✅ Specific insights from experience
✅ Genuine celebration with substance
✅ Helpful resources and connections

**What Fails:**
❌ Generic praise ("Love this!", "Great post!")
❌ Corporate speak ("excited to announce")
❌ Surface-level comments
❌ Forced humor
