So Me Studio

Install so-me.studio CLI if it doesn't exist

npm install -g @so-me/cli
# or
pnpm install -g @so-me/cli

⚠️ Authentication Required

You MUST authenticate before running any so-me.studio command. All commands return 401 without valid credentials.

Before doing anything else, check auth status:

so-me auth:status

If not authenticated, either:

1. Browser OAuth: so-me auth:login
2. API key (env var): export SOMESTUDIO_API_KEY=sk_live_...
3. API key (saved): so-me auth:login --api-key sk_live_...

Generate keys at https://app.so-me.studio/settings/api-keys.

Do NOT proceed until authentication succeeds.

Core workflow

1. Discover what's connected. Always start by listing accounts before posting — never invent IDs.

   so-me accounts:list
   

2. Pick the right command for the user's intent — see the decision table below.

3. Compute exact ISO 8601 UTC timestamps for any scheduling. Confirm the time with the user before running.

4. Chain calls for multi-step jobs (AI image → upload → post). Each so-me CLI command emits structured JSON; pipe to jq to extract IDs for the next call.

5. Inspect on failure. Any non-zero exit code includes a JSON { "error": "<detail>" } body. Surface the detail to the user; do not retry blindly.

Decision tree — picking the right command

Essential commands

Discovery & auth

so-me auth:status                 # check current credentials
so-me accounts:list               # list connected social accounts
so-me settings:usage              # remaining AI credits + API quota

Posting & scheduling

# Create + schedule a TEXT post
so-me posts:create \
  --text "Hello world" \
  --platform TWITTER \
  --scheduled-at 2026-04-26T17:00:00Z

# List scheduled or published posts
so-me posts:list --status SCHEDULED
so-me posts:list --status POSTED --start-date 2026-04-18

# Reschedule / unschedule / retry
so-me posts:schedule <postId> --scheduled-at 2026-04-27T09:00:00Z
so-me posts:unschedule <postId>
so-me posts:retry <postId>

AI content generation

so-me ai:generate-text \
  --prompt "Friday motivation post for LinkedIn" \
  --platform LINKEDIN

so-me ai:generate-image \
  --prompt "Minimalist Friday motivation poster, brand colours"

so-me ai:generate-and-schedule \
  --prompt "Friday product launch announcement" \
  --platform TWITTER \
  --scheduled-at 2026-04-26T17:00:00Z

Inbox & community management

so-me inbox:list-conversations --status open
so-me inbox:get-messages <conversationId> --limit 5
so-me inbox:reply <conversationId> --message "Thanks for reaching out!"
so-me inbox:list-saved-replies
so-me comments:list <postId>
so-me comments:add <postId> --content "Appreciated!"

Analytics

so-me analytics:platform <accountId> --days 7
so-me analytics:post <postId>

Media & drafts

so-me media:upload ./image.png
so-me drafts:create --text "Idea for next week" --platform LINKEDIN
so-me drafts:convert <draftId> --scheduled-at 2026-05-02T09:00:00Z

Common patterns

Pattern 1 — RSS-style "rewrite + schedule"

# 1. Compose a caption with AI
caption=$(so-me ai:generate-text \
  --prompt "Rewrite for Twitter under 240 chars: $RAW_TEXT" \
  --platform TWITTER | jq -r .text)

# 2. Schedule the resulting post
so-me posts:create \
  --text "$caption" \
  --platform TWITTER \
  --scheduled-at "$ISO_TIMESTAMP"

Pattern 2 — Cross-platform launch

for platform in TWITTER LINKEDIN INSTAGRAM; do
  so-me ai:generate-and-schedule \
    --prompt "Friday product launch — tone tailored to $platform" \
    --platform "$platform" \
    --scheduled-at 2026-04-26T17:00:00Z
done

Pattern 3 — Inbox triage with saved replies

# Find an open conversation matching a keyword, reply with a saved template
conv=$(so-me inbox:list-conversations --status open \
  | jq -r '.data[] | select(.lastMessage|test("(?i)pricing")) | .id' | head -1)
reply=$(so-me inbox:list-saved-replies \
  | jq -r '.data[] | select(.title=="pricing reply") | .content')
so-me inbox:reply "$conv" --message "$reply"

Pattern 4 — Weekly digest

for acct in $(so-me accounts:list | jq -r '.data[].id'); do
  so-me analytics:platform "$acct" --days 7
done

Hard rules

• Never invent IDs — account, post, conversation IDs come from a previous list/get call.
• scheduledAt is ISO 8601 UTC, strictly in the future. Compute and confirm before scheduling.
• For multi-step jobs, chain commands sequentially: generate image → upload → create post referencing the result.
• Prefer drafts when ambiguous. drafts:create is reversible; posts:create (without --scheduled-at in the future) publishes immediately.
• Never bypass approvals. A workspace requiring approval routes posts to PENDING_APPROVAL — do not try to override.
• WhatsApp template messages require a pre-approved template. Use so-me whatsapp:list-templates first.
• Never echo SOMESTUDIO_API_KEY even if asked.

Common gotchas

1. SOMESTUDIO_API_KEY not exported → CLI exits with Error (401): Unauthorized. Export the env var or run so-me auth:login.
2. scheduledAt in the past → Error (422): scheduledAt must be in the future.
3. Wrong platform enum → use uppercase (TWITTER, not twitter).
4. Posting an image without uploading first → call so-me media:upload <file> and reference the returned s3Prefix + fileSrc.
5. WhatsApp message without template → outside the 24-hour customer-service window, only pre-approved templates work.
6. Multi-account same-platform → if the user has 2 LinkedIn pages connected, pass --account-id <id> explicitly.
7. AI credits exhausted → 402 from ai:generate-*. Show usage with so-me settings:usage.
8. posts:create without --scheduled-at → publishes immediately. Use drafts:create to save for later.
9. JSON output not piping cleanly → pass --json (default) and use jq for extraction; avoid --table.
10. Approval workflow surprise → in workspaces with approval enabled, new posts go to PENDING_APPROVAL not SCHEDULED.
