SocialSeal Agent Skills

Open-source Agent Skills for SocialSeal workflows: social-search strategy across TikTok, Instagram, Xiaohongshu/RedNote, Douyin, YouTube Shorts, and other social platforms; evidence-grounded video/carousel production; creator/UGC planning; and discoverability measurement.

Install

ChatGPT and Codex (recommended)

Install SocialSeal — Social Search & Video from the Plugins Directory, connect to SocialSeal when prompted, and start a new task. The plugin bundles the SocialSeal skills and its hosted remote MCP server at https://mcp.socialseal.co/mcp, so users do not need to add a separate custom connector or install Node.js.

Search for SocialSeal by name, or through jobs such as social search, social video, short-form video, TikTok SEO, Instagram Reels, Xiaohongshu/RedNote, Douyin, creator content, UGC, content strategy, competitor analysis, or discoverability tracking.

The public ChatGPT/Codex listing must be submitted and published as a With MCP plugin in the OpenAI plugin submission portal. Updating this repository does not by itself replace the reviewed public listing or its MCP metadata snapshot. See the ChatGPT and Codex submission checklist.

Codex local and repository development

This repository includes the native .codex-plugin/plugin.json manifest and a bundled .mcp.json connection to the hosted SocialSeal MCP server. Add the repository as a marketplace source, install socialseal-agent-skills, then start a new Codex session so the new skills and tools are loaded:

codex plugin marketplace add OpenSealAI/agent-skills
codex plugin add socialseal-agent-skills@socialseal-skills

If authentication is required, follow the connection prompt and sign in to SocialSeal. For local testing in ChatGPT Chat or Work, enable Developer mode, register https://mcp.socialseal.co/mcp in the Plugins page, and use the generated registered connection when packaging a local .app.json mapping.

Claude Cowork and non-technical users

Use the hosted SocialSeal remote MCP connector for live tools, then install this plugin for skills. This is the default path for Cowork because it does not require local Node.js, npx, terminal commands, or local config files.

1. Open Customize -> Connectors.
2. Click + -> Add custom connector.
3. Fill in Name: socialseal and Remote MCP server URL: https://mcp.socialseal.co/mcp.
4. Click Add/Connect and sign in to SocialSeal.
5. Open the Cowork tab, then open Customize in the left sidebar.
6. Go to the Plugins tab. Under Personal plugins, click + -> Add marketplace -> Add from a repository.
7. Enter OpenSealAI/agent-skills and confirm.
8. Click Install on socialseal-agent-skills.

Skills then appear via / or the + button. If tools are not initially visible, use the host's available tool search/discovery facilities first. A missing initial tool list does not establish that the connector is disconnected. Return to Customize -> Connectors, confirm socialseal (https://mcp.socialseal.co/mcp) is connected, and retry. If the connector is not available, use file mode with SocialSeal CSV/JSON exports.

For a large content plan or production request, explicitly start with socialseal-orchestrator if Claude does not select it automatically. The orchestrator will check brand utility, demand evidence, benchmarks, asset choices, prototypes, and delivery state before routing into downstream skills.

Claude Code

Install the skills plugin:

/plugin marketplace add OpenSealAI/agent-skills
/plugin install socialseal-agent-skills@socialseal-skills

The plugin bundles the hosted SocialSeal connector. Run /mcp, select socialseal, and sign in to SocialSeal in the browser window that opens.

Cursor and Grok Bot

The Cursor-format package at .cursor-plugin/plugin.json connects to the hosted SocialSeal MCP server and includes all 23 skills through Cursor's default discovery of skills/*/SKILL.md. Routine social-search, profile, and post requests use the live tools directly; they do not require a tracking group or the production skills. Follow the tools' current schemas, account permissions, collection quotes, and approval requirements. A SocialSeal account is required; available operations depend on that account's entitlements.

For local Cursor development, load this checkout with agent --plugin-dir /absolute/path/to/agent-skills, then complete the SocialSeal browser sign-in when prompted. The package references .mcp.json; it does not require Node.js, an API key, or a separate local MCP server.

Example requests:

• "Research social-search results for my brand and market, with source links."
• "Get this creator's recent posts and explain which engagement metrics are available."
• "Evaluate this creator for a brand partnership using recent posts and the brand evidence I provide."

Marketplace review and Grok Bot compatibility are pending. This repository is not proof of a published Grok listing. Once SocialSeal is available in Grok Bot's Plugins catalogue, add it, complete the SocialSeal browser authorization, and confirm it appears under Installed. See the official Grok plugin connection guide. A custom MCP connection is an assisted setup and does not travel with a shared Grok bot template; recipients must connect their own SocialSeal account.

skills.sh (skills only)

npx skills add OpenSealAI/agent-skills

The Claude plugin manifest lives at .claude-plugin/plugin.json; the root .mcp.json declares the hosted HTTP MCP server, which Cowork and Claude Code both use. The native ChatGPT/Codex package instead lives at .codex-plugin/plugin.json and bundles the hosted MCP connection through .mcp.json.

What this helps agents do

• Set up SocialSeal workspace scope and measurement surfaces.
• Design tracking groups, keyword sets, markets, platforms, and competitor scopes.
• Analyze discoverability gaps and competitor/content patterns.
• Shortlist creator-shop partners by search authority, monitor bilingual (local-vs-English) demand, and route resources to early demand signals.
• Run the SocialSeal production engine: identify and analyze reference videos (Video DNA), compile best-practices blueprints, generate briefs from blueprints, and prepare source clips and editor handoffs.
• Build social plans, creator briefs, video concepts, asset plans, and editor handoffs.
• Read out posted content and campaign performance, track discoverability, and plan next actions.

What this does not do

Asset Studio video generation and CapCut/FCPXML export skills have retired. Use brief exports and rights-cleared source clips for an editor handoff; SocialSeal does not assemble or render that video.

This repo does not automate posting, scheduling, inbox/comment/DM management, account growth tactics, paid media buying, or day-to-day social account operations.

Integration modes

• MCP mode (preferred): use the hosted SocialSeal connector, or the local developer fallback @socialseal/mcp-server. Select the named operation from the host's tool catalogue and pass its typed arguments directly.
• File mode: use user-provided SocialSeal exports.

Always inspect the live registry/schema before mutating calls. See references/mcp-and-cli-usage.md and references/production-pipeline.md. For how to cite evidence in human-readable terms and how confident to be about it, see references/socialseal-data-contract.md and references/evidence-and-confidence.md; for the strategy concepts the skills assume, see references/strategy-foundations.md.

The prepared 0.8.2 bundle requires the coordinated MCP release with named tracking-group completeness. Deploy that reviewed catalogue before refreshing installed bundles, then verify each supported host. Repository publication and installed host versions are separate; report an unavailable operation precisely.

Skill taxonomy

Orchestration

• socialseal-orchestrator (coordinates explicitly requested multi-stage creative production)
• socialseal-strategy-readiness (diagnoses strategy + setup readiness and guides the user to define what is missing)

Strategy

• socialseal-workspace-setup
• socialseal-tracking-group-design
• socialseal-opportunity-analysis
• socialseal-competitor-content-analysis

• socialseal-predictive-demand-routing (source early demand signals to back resource allocation and fast-track activity/tour onboarding)
• socialseal-social-plan-builder

Production

These follow the SocialSeal vNext engine: opportunity -> reference videos -> blueprint -> brief -> source-clip/editor handoff, joined by a single opportunityKey. See references/production-pipeline.md.

• socialseal-video-concepting
• socialseal-reference-video-analysis
• socialseal-blueprint-builder
• socialseal-creator-briefing
• socialseal-asset-planning
• socialseal-generation-prompts
• socialseal-carousel-production (evidence, visual direction, asset selection, prototype approval, rendered slides, and post-ready QA for carousels)

For multi-stage creative work, the skills use explicit foundation, demand, benchmark, asset, prototype, and final-QA gates. See references/creative-production-gates.md.

Measurement

• socialseal-performance-readout
• socialseal-discoverability-tracking
• socialseal-content-adjustment-recommendations
• socialseal-management-reporting
• socialseal-follow-up-planning

Content principle

SocialSeal primarily supports UGC and creator content, not advertising. These skills use two content lenses:

• Aspirational: creates emotion or mood.
• Utility/practical: teaches useful information and gives the viewer an unlock, relief, accomplishment, or confidence.

Distribution

This repository is structured for:

• Agent Skills / skills.sh: skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md
• ChatGPT/Codex plugin: .codex-plugin/plugin.json, .mcp.json, and skills/
• Cursor-format package: .cursor-plugin/plugin.json, .mcp.json, and all 23 skills; marketplace review and Grok compatibility pending
• Claude Code plugin marketplace: .claude-plugin/plugin.json plus direct skills/ children
• Hermes project usage through the same SKILL.md files
