Requires a Taisly account with connected social accounts and an API key.

So what is it?

Taisly Agent Kit is a command-line tool and JavaScript SDK that lets AI coding agents publish short-form videos to social media platforms. It connects to TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, X (formerly Twitter), and Facebook through the Taisly service, which handles the actual account connections and posting execution. Your code handles the decision of what to post and when, Taisly handles the delivery. The tool is designed specifically for automated workflows rather than manual use. Every command outputs JSON so that AI agents can read the results programmatically without parsing human-readable text. The intended workflow goes: check which accounts are connected, look up the platform requirements for each one, validate a video file locally before uploading, get user confirmation, then create the post and check its status. The validation step checks the file format and basic metadata on your machine before anything is sent to Taisly. You can use it as a CLI tool, install it as a Node.js package in your own code, or write a JSON file describing a campaign and pass that to the CLI. Scheduling is supported by including a timestamp in ISO format. A reposts:create command lets you take content from one connected platform and repost it to others without re-uploading the file. The examples folder contains ready-to-use workflow files for specific AI coding tools: Codex, Claude Code, and Cursor each have their own example showing how to wire the tool into a content or development workflow. Using this requires a Taisly account with social media accounts connected, plus a Taisly API key. The package is available on npm as @taisly/agent. The README notes that a single-post status endpoint is not yet available, so checking post status reads from recent history instead, and that media upload reuse and an MCP server integration are planned but not yet shipped.
