## ⚠️ Security Notice

**This skill requires sensitive API credentials. Read this section carefully before installing.**

### Required Credentials

**BOLTA_API_KEY** (REQUIRED, SENSITIVE)
- **Format:** `sk_live_` followed by 64 alphanumeric characters
- **Obtain at:** https://bolta.ai/register
- **Scoping:** Each key is scoped to a SINGLE workspace only
- **Permissions:** Grant LEAST-PRIVILEGE access (e.g., only `posts:write` if creating content)
- **Rotation:** Rotate every 90 days using `bolta.team.rotate_key` skill
- **Storage:** NEVER commit to git - use environment variables or secret managers only

**BOLTA_WORKSPACE_ID** (REQUIRED)
- **Format:** UUID (e.g., `550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000`)
- **Source:** Provided during agent registration at bolta.ai/register
- **Purpose:** Identifies which workspace the API key is authorized for

**BOLTA_AGENT_ID** (OPTIONAL, RECOMMENDED)
- **Format:** UUID
- **Purpose:** Links API activity to specific agent principal for audit logs
- **Benefit:** Enables traceability and compliance reporting

### Trusted Network Endpoints

This skill makes HTTPS requests to:
- ✅ `https://platty.boltathread.com` - Bolta API server
- ✅ `https://bolta.ai` - Main application and agent registration portal

**No other domains are contacted.** All requests are authenticated with your API key.

### Third-Party Dependencies

This skill references:
- `@boltaai/mcp-server` (npm package for Claude Desktop integration)
  - **Source:** https://github.com/boltaai/bolta-mcp-server
  - **Verified:** Yes (official Bolta package)
  - **Purpose:** Connects Claude Desktop to Bolta API via MCP protocol

### Pre-Installation Checklist

**Before installing this skill, you MUST:**
- [ ] Verify the source repository: https://github.com/boltaai/bolta-skills
- [ ] Review the SKILL.md and confirm version matches metadata (currently 0.5.4)
- [ ] Obtain a LEAST-PRIVILEGE API key from https://bolta.ai/register
- [ ] Store API key in environment variables (NEVER hardcode or commit)
- [ ] Verify you trust the domains: `platty.boltathread.com` and `bolta.ai`
- [ ] Test in a disposable/test workspace first (recommended)
- [ ] Confirm your API key is scoped ONLY to the intended workspace

**If you cannot verify the above, DO NOT install this skill.**

### Security Best Practices

1. **Credential Management**
   - Use environment variables: `export BOLTA_API_KEY="sk_live_..."`
   - Or use secret managers: AWS Secrets Manager, 1Password, etc.
   - NEVER paste API keys in chat, logs, or public places

2. **Key Rotation**
   - Rotate keys every 90 days minimum
   - Use `bolta.team.rotate_key` skill for zero-downtime rotation
   - Revoke compromised keys immediately at bolta.ai/settings

3. **Permission Scoping**
   - Grant ONLY required permissions (e.g., `posts:write`, `voice:read`)
   - Avoid `workspace:admin` unless absolutely necessary
   - Review permissions quarterly

4. **Monitoring**
   - Review audit logs weekly via `bolta.audit.export_activity`
   - Monitor quota usage via `bolta.quota.status`
   - Set up alerts for unusual API activity

5. **Workspace Isolation**
   - One API key per workspace (NEVER share keys across workspaces)
   - Use separate keys for dev/staging/production environments
   - Revoke keys when decommissioning workspaces

## Purpose

**The canonical registry and orchestration layer for all Bolta skills.**

This skill serves as the single source of truth for skill discovery, installation recommendations, and workspace-aware capability bootstrapping. It does not execute content operations directly — instead, it provides intelligent routing to the appropriate skills based on:

- **Workspace policy** (Safe Mode, autonomy mode, quotas)
- **Principal identity** (user role, agent permissions)
- **Operational context** (what you're trying to accomplish)

**Key Responsibilities:**
1. **Discovery** - Index all available skills with metadata
2. **Recommendation** - Suggest install sets based on workspace policy and role
3. **Orchestration** - Guide multi-skill workflows
4. **Compatibility** - Enforce skill compatibility with workspace settings
5. **Bootstrapping** - Help new workspaces get started quickly

**When to Use:**
- Setting up a new workspace ("What skills should I install?")
- Discovering available capabilities ("What can Bolta do?")
- Troubleshooting skill compatibility ("Why can't I use this skill?")
- Planning multi-step workflows ("Which skills do I need?")

**Data Access:**
This skill accesses:
- ✅ Workspace configuration (policy, quotas, autonomy mode)
- ✅ Voice profile metadata (names, IDs, not full content)
- ✅ Post counts and quota usage
- ✅ Agent principal permissions

This skill does NOT access:
- ❌ Post content or scheduled posts
- ❌ Social media credentials
- ❌ User passwords or authentication tokens
- ❌ Files or media uploads

## Getting Started: Agent API Setup

Before using Bolta skills, you need to set up agent API access to authenticate your requests.

### Step 1: Register Your Agent

Visit **[bolta.ai/register](https://bolta.ai/register)** to create your agent principal and obtain an API key.

**What you'll need:**
- Bolta workspace (create one at bolta.ai if you don't have one)
- Admin or Owner role in your workspace

### Step 2: Create Agent Principal

During registration, you'll configure:

**Agent Name**
```
Example: "Claude Content Agent"
Description: Human-readable name for audit logs
```

**Agent Role**
```
Options:
- creator  - Can create drafts (recommended for testing)
- editor   - Can create + schedule posts
- reviewer - Can approve/reject posts (review-only access)

Recommended: Start with "creator" role for safety
```

**Permissions**
```
Minimum for content skills:
✓ posts:write  - Create posts
✓ voice:read   - Read voice profiles

Optional (based on use case):
□ posts:schedule  - Schedule posts (requires editor+ role)
□ posts:approve   - Approve posts for publishing
□ templates:read  - Use content templates
□ cron:execute    - Run automated jobs
```

### Step 3: Copy Your API Key

After registration, you'll receive:

```
API Key: sk_live_00000000000000000000000000000000
Workspace ID: 550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000
Agent ID: 660e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440001
```

**IMPORTANT:**
- ⚠️ Store API key securely (never commit to git)
- ⚠️ Keys cannot be recovered (only regenerated via `bolta.team.rotate_key`)
- ⚠️ Each key is scoped to ONE workspace

### Step 4: Configure Your Environment

**Set Required Environment Variables:**

Before using any Bolta skills, you MUST configure these environment variables:

```bash
# Required: Your Bolta API key (from bolta.ai/register)
export BOLTA_API_KEY="sk_live_your_actual_key_here"

# Required: Your workspace UUID (from bolta.ai/register)
export BOLTA_WORKSPACE_ID="550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000"

# Optional: Agent principal UUID (for audit logging)
export BOLTA_AGENT_ID="660e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440001"
```

**For Claude Desktop (MCP):**
```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bolta": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@boltaai/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "BOLTA_API_KEY": "sk_live_your_actual_key_here",
        "BOLTA_WORKSPACE_ID": "550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000",
        "BOLTA_AGENT_ID": "660e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440001"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

**For Direct API Calls:**
```bash
# Use environment variables in your requests
curl https://platty.boltathread.com/v1/posts \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ${BOLTA_API_KEY}" \
  -H "X-Workspace-ID: ${BOLTA_WORKSPACE_ID}" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{ "prompt": "Create a post about productivity" }'
```

**For Node.js/TypeScript Applications:**
```javascript
import { BoltaClient } from '@boltaai/sdk';

// Load from environment variables (recommended)
const bolta = new BoltaClient({
  apiKey: process.env.BOLTA_API_KEY,
  workspaceId: process.env.BOLTA_WORKSPACE_ID,
  agentId: process.env.BOLTA_AGENT_ID // Optional
});

// Verify all required vars are set
if (!process.env.BOLTA_API_KEY || !process.env.BOLTA_WORKSPACE_ID) {
  throw new Error('Missing required Bolta credentials. Set BOLTA_API_KEY and BOLTA_WORKSPACE_ID');
}
```

**Security Reminder:**
- ⚠️ Never hardcode API keys in your code
- ⚠️ Use `.env` files locally (add `.env` to `.gitignore`)
- ⚠️ Use secret managers in production (AWS Secrets Manager, Vercel Secrets, etc.)
- ⚠️ Rotate keys every 90 days via `bolta.team.rotate_key`


### Step 5: Verify Setup

Test your configuration with a simple skill:

# Via API
curl https://api.bolta.ai/v1/workspaces/{workspace_id} \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"

# Expected response:
{
  "id": "550e8400-...",
  "name": "My Workspace",
  "safe_mode": true,
  "autonomy_mode": "managed",
  "max_posts_per_day": 100
}
```

### Troubleshooting Setup

#### Error: "Invalid API Key"
**Cause:** Key is incorrect or has been rotated

**Solutions:**
1. Verify key matches exactly (no extra spaces)
2. Check if key was rotated → Get new key at bolta.ai/register
3. Ensure you're using the correct workspace key

#### Error: "Workspace Not Found"
**Cause:** Workspace ID mismatch or no access

**Solutions:**
1. Verify workspace_id matches your registration
2. Confirm you have access to this workspace (visit bolta.ai/workspaces)
3. Check if workspace was deleted

#### Error: "Permission Denied"
**Cause:** Agent role lacks required permission

**Solutions:**
1. Check your agent's permissions at bolta.ai/register
2. For content creation: Need `posts:write` minimum
3. For scheduling: Need `posts:schedule` + editor role
4. For automation: Need `cron:execute` permission

### ⚠️ Common First-Run Mistakes

**Mistake 1: Skipping the README**
```
❌ Installing skills without reading README
✅ Read README.md first → understand workflows → install skills
```

**Mistake 2: Missing Environment Variables**
```
❌ Running skills without BOLTA_API_KEY set
✅ Configure env vars BEFORE running any skill
```

**Mistake 3: Installing Skills Out of Order**
```
❌ Running bolta.draft.post before creating voice profile
✅ Follow recommended order: voice.bootstrap → draft.post → review
```

**Mistake 4: Not Understanding Autonomy Modes**
```
❌ Using autopilot mode without understanding routing
✅ Read docs/autonomy-modes.md → start with "assisted" → graduate to "managed"
```

**Mistake 5: Hardcoding API Keys**
```
❌ Putting API keys directly in skill files
✅ Use environment variables → .env file → add .env to .gitignore
```

## Architecture: The Five Planes

Skills are organized into **planes** — logical groupings that separate concerns and enable modular capability composition.

### Voice Plane
**Purpose:** Brand voice creation, evolution, and validation

Voice is the foundation of all content operations. These skills help establish, refine, and maintain consistent brand voice across all generated content.

**Core Principle:** Voice should be learned from examples, validated against real content, and evolved over time.

**Skills:**
- `bolta.voice.bootstrap` - Interactive voice profile creation from scratch
- `bolta.voice.learn_from_samples` - Extract voice patterns from existing content
- `bolta.voice.evolve` - Refine voice based on approved posts
- `bolta.voice.validate` - Score content against voice profile (0-100)

**Typical Flow:**
1. Bootstrap initial voice profile
2. Learn from sample content
3. Validate generated content
4. Evolve voice as brand matures

---

### Content Plane
**Purpose:** Content creation, planning, and scheduling

The execution layer for post creation. These skills transform ideas into scheduled social media posts.

**Core Principle:** Content should be intentional, planned, and aligned with voice.

**Skills:**
- `bolta.draft.post` - Create a single post in Draft status
- `bolta.loop.from_template` - Generate multiple posts from a template
- `bolta.week.plan` - Plan a week's worth of content with scheduling
- `bolta.content.repurpose` - Transform long-form content into social posts
- `bolta.content.thread_builder` - Create multi-post threads (Twitter, LinkedIn)

**Output:** Draft or Scheduled posts (subject to Safe Mode routing)

---

### Review Plane
**Purpose:** Human-in-the-loop review and approval workflows

Enables teams to review, approve, and refine agent-generated content before publishing.

**Core Principle:** Autonomy with oversight — agents generate, humans decide.

**Skills:**
- `bolta.inbox.triage` - Organize pending posts by priority/topic
- `bolta.review.digest` - Daily summary of posts awaiting review
- `bolta.review.approve_and_route` - Bulk approve + schedule posts
- `bolta.review.suggest_edits` - AI-powered improvement suggestions
- `bolta.review.compliance_check` - Flag posts for policy violations

**Typical Flow:**
1. Agent creates posts → Pending Approval
2. `review.digest` sends daily summary
3. Human reviews via `inbox.triage`
4. Bulk approve via `approve_and_route`

---

### Automation Plane
**Purpose:** Scheduled, recurring, and autonomous content generation

The autonomy layer. These skills enable hands-off content operations with guardrails.

**Core Principle:** Predictable automation with quota enforcement and safety nets.

**Skills:**
- `bolta.cron.generate_to_review` - Daily content generation → Pending Approval
- `bolta.cron.generate_and_schedule` - Autonomous scheduling (requires Safe Mode OFF)
- `bolta.recurring.from_template` - Recurring posts (daily tips, weekly roundups)
- `bolta.auto.respond_to_trending` - Auto-generate posts from trending topics
- `bolta.auto.content_gap_fill` - Detect scheduling gaps and auto-fill

**Safety Guardrails:**
- Quota enforcement (max posts/day, max API requests/hour)
- Job run tracking (observability for all executions)
- Autonomy mode compatibility checks
- Safe Mode routing (autopilot incompatible with Safe Mode ON)

---

### Control Plane
**Purpose:** Workspace governance, policy, and audit

The management layer for teams, permissions, security, and compliance.

**Core Principle:** Visibility and control for workspace administrators.

**Skills:**
- `bolta.team.create_agent_teammate` - Provision agent principals with specific roles
- `bolta.team.rotate_key` - Rotate API keys for security
- `bolta.policy.explain` - Explain authorization decisions ("Why was this blocked?")
- `bolta.audit.export_activity` - Export audit logs (PostActivity, JobRuns)
- `bolta.quota.status` - View current quota usage (daily posts, hourly API calls)
- `bolta.workspace.config` - View/update autonomy mode, Safe Mode, quotas

**Typical Use Cases:**
- Onboarding new team members (human or agent)
- Investigating authorization failures
- Compliance reporting (SOC2, GDPR data exports)
- Quota monitoring and adjustment

## Recommended Install Sets

Install sets are curated skill bundles tailored to specific autonomy modes and use cases.

### Assisted Mode Install Set
**Autonomy Level:** Low (maximum human control)
**Safe Mode:** Must be ON
**Use Case:** New users, high-stakes brands, learning Bolta

**Skills:**
- `bolta.voice.bootstrap` - Set up initial voice profile
- `bolta.draft.post` - Create individual posts (always Draft)
- `bolta.loop.from_template` - Scale content creation safely
- `bolta.week.plan` - Plan content calendar

**Rationale:**
Assisted mode prioritizes learning and control. All content goes to Draft for manual review before scheduling. Ideal for:
- Teams new to AI content generation
- Brands with strict compliance requirements
- Users who want to learn Bolta patterns before automating

**Expected Workflow:**
1. Bootstrap voice profile
2. Create posts in Draft (manually or via templates)
3. Human reviews and schedules each post
4. Graduate to Managed when comfortable

---

### Managed Mode Install Set
**Autonomy Level:** Medium (guided automation with oversight)
**Safe Mode:** ON (recommended) or OFF
**Use Case:** Established users, moderate volume, review workflows

**Skills:**
- All Assisted skills +
- `bolta.inbox.triage` - Organize posts for review
- `bolta.review.digest` - Daily review summaries
- `bolta.review.approve_and_route` - Bulk approval workflow
- `bolta.voice.validate` - Quality scoring
- `bolta.cron.generate_to_review` - Daily automated generation

**Rationale:**
Managed mode balances efficiency with oversight. Agent generates content autonomously, but humans approve before publishing. Ideal for:
- Teams with 1-2 reviewers
- Brands publishing 3-10 posts/day
- Users who trust the voice profile

**Expected Workflow:**
1. Agent generates posts overnight (via cron) → Pending Approval
2. Daily digest arrives at 9am
3. Reviewer triages inbox, validates voice compliance
4. Bulk approve/schedule approved posts
5. Refine voice profile based on patterns

---

### Autopilot Mode Install Set
**Autonomy Level:** High (hands-off automation)
**Safe Mode:** Must be OFF (incompatible)
**Use Case:** High volume, trusted voice, minimal oversight

**Skills:**
- All Managed skills +
- `bolta.cron.generate_and_schedule` - Autonomous scheduling
- `bolta.auto.respond_to_trending` - Trend-based posting
- `bolta.auto.content_gap_fill` - Auto-fill scheduling gaps
- `bolta.recurring.from_template` - Recurring post automation
- `bolta.quota.status` - Monitor quota usage

**Rationale:**
Autopilot mode maximizes efficiency for high-volume operations. Agent schedules directly without human approval. Ideal for:
- Established brands with proven voice profiles
- High-frequency posting (10+ posts/day)
- Teams with minimal manual review capacity

**Expected Workflow:**
1. Agent generates and schedules posts automatically
2. Quota enforcement prevents runaway generation
3. Periodic voice validation checks (weekly)
4. Human reviews published analytics, adjusts strategy

**Warning:**
Autopilot bypasses human review. Only use with:
- Well-tested voice profiles (version 5+)
- Quota limits configured (max 20 posts/day recommended)
- Regular validation spot-checks (review 10% of published posts)

---

### Governance Mode Install Set
**Autonomy Level:** N/A (control & audit focused)
**Safe Mode:** N/A
**Use Case:** Admins, compliance teams, workspace management

**Skills:**
- `bolta.policy.explain` - Authorization troubleshooting
- `bolta.audit.export_activity` - Compliance exports
- `bolta.team.create_agent_teammate` - Agent provisioning
- `bolta.team.rotate_key` - Security operations
- `bolta.workspace.config` - Workspace administration
- `bolta.quota.status` - Usage monitoring
- `bolta.voice.validate` - Quality auditing

**Rationale:**
Governance mode is not an autonomy level — it's a control plane install set for administrators. Ideal for:
- Workspace owners managing teams
- Compliance officers conducting audits
- Security teams rotating keys
- Admins troubleshooting authorization issues

**Expected Workflow:**
1. Onboard new team members (human or agent)
2. Configure workspace policies (Safe Mode, autonomy, quotas)
3. Monitor quota usage and adjust limits
4. Export audit logs for compliance reporting
5. Rotate API keys on schedule (e.g., quarterly)
6. Investigate authorization failures via policy.explain

## Decision Matrix: Skill Recommendations

This matrix determines which skills to recommend based on workspace context.

### Input Variables
1. **Safe Mode** (ON/OFF)
2. **Autonomy Mode** (assisted/managed/autopilot/governance)
3. **User Role** (owner/admin/editor/creator/reviewer/viewer)
4. **Agent Permissions** (if principal is agent)
5. **Workspace Quotas** (daily post limit, hourly API limit)
6. **Voice Profile Status** (exists, version number)

### Decision Rules

#### Rule 1: Voice Bootstrapping (First-Time Setup)
```
IF voice_profile_count == 0:
  RECOMMEND: bolta.voice.bootstrap (HIGH PRIORITY)
  RATIONALE: Cannot create content without voice profile
```

#### Rule 2: Safe Mode + Autopilot Incompatibility
```
IF safe_mode == ON AND autonomy_mode == "autopilot":
  ERROR: Incompatible configuration
  RECOMMEND: Either disable Safe Mode OR switch to "managed"
  RATIONALE: Autopilot bypasses review; contradicts Safe Mode intent
```

#### Rule 3: Agent Permission Gating
```
IF principal_type == "agent":
  IF agent.permissions NOT IN required_permissions:
    EXCLUDE: Skills requiring missing permissions
    RECOMMEND: bolta.policy.explain to understand blockers
