Pinterest Search
Use this skill when the user wants public Pinterest image evidence — image addresses, moodboard source lists, or visual inspiration links — starting from a keyword.
Apply shared rulebook and user-guidance rules from postplus-shared.
When a supported command completes but evidence is empty, sparse, noisy,
off-topic, or the wrong record type, apply the postplus-shared reference
research-quality-recovery.md; hard execution errors still fail fast.
Apply references/shared-contract.md first, then references/search.md for the
keyword discovery workflow.
Job
Turn one keyword into a bounded set of Pinterest images. Return each result
normalized to { image_url, pin_url, title }, deduplicated by image address.
Run the smallest first pass that can answer the request, then stop and report
scope, count, strongest results, and next action.
Reference Index
| User asks for | Apply |
|---|---|
| Any Pinterest image search from a keyword | references/shared-contract.md, then references/search.md |
| Broader pass: more results, filter variation, or a second keyword | references/search.md |
| Board scrape, profile scrape, pin-URL scrape, shopping/product fields, engagement metrics | Not supported on the current public surface. Say so and stop |
| Non-Pinterest image sources | Hand off; run only the Pinterest lane here |
First Question
Ask one question only when the answer changes the route, first-pass scope, or output shape.
| Missing | Ask |
|---|---|
| Keyword | What keyword should I search Pinterest for? |
| Too broad | Which one keyword matters most for the first pass? |
| Filter intent | Should I include all pins, or only video pins? |
Do not ask the user for credentials, implementation choice, schema fields, hidden filters, or retry strategy.
Run Discipline
- Apply
references/shared-contract.md. - Apply
references/search.md. - Run the narrowest collection that can answer the first pass; start at the minimum limit of 20.
- Normalize output to
{ image_url, pin_url, title }and deduplicate by image address. - Stop after the first pass and report scope, count, strongest results, limits, and next action.
The result record shape for the route is documented in the
postplus-shared reference dataset-item-schemas.md; consult it before
writing result-processing code, and probe a single record only to verify.
Do not present a bounded first pass as the full Pinterest catalog. Use only the public filters shown by the route.
Public Command Boundary
- Run
postplus research run pinterest-search --query <keyword> --kind <all|videos> --limit <n> --wait --output <result.json>; the minimum limit is - Readiness diagnostics:
postplus doctor --skill pinterest-search. - If the owned CLI command fails, report the exact error and stop. Do not bypass the failure with metadata-only answers, readiness probing, local payload rewrites, alternate services, or unpublished tools.
- Inspect flags with
postplus research run pinterest-search --helponly when needed. - Keep the first pass bounded; expand only after inspecting the first result.
- If the CLI returns a quote-confirmation challenge, run
postplus quote confirm --json --challenge-file <challenge.json>and retry with the returned token.
postplus research run pinterest-search \
--query "example topic" \
--wait \
--output ./result.json
