Security Notice

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

Required Credentials

BOLTA_API_KEY (REQUIRED, SENSITIVE)

• Format: bolta_sk_ followed by alphanumeric characters
• Obtain at: https://bolta.ai/register (agent keys) or bolta.ai/settings (regular keys)
• Scoping: Each key is scoped to a SINGLE workspace only
• Key Types: Bolta issues two distinct key types (see API Key Types below)
• 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 — required for Agent API keys)

• Format: UUID
• Purpose: Links API activity to specific agent principal for audit logs
• Benefit: Enables traceability and compliance reporting
• Note: Automatically set when using an Agent API key; must be provided manually with Regular API keys if audit attribution is desired

API Key Types

Bolta has two distinct API key types with different permission models. Skills must handle both correctly.

Regular API Keys (key_type: "regular")

Created in Settings → API Keys by workspace members. Use granular permission scopes — each key is issued with an explicit list of allowed scopes.

Available scopes:

| Scope | Description | |-|-| | posts:read | View posts and schedules | | posts:write | Create and update posts | | posts:delete | Delete posts and scheduled content | | accounts:read | View connected social accounts | | accounts:connect | Initiate OAuth connections | | recurring:manage | Manage recurring post suggestions | | voice:read | View brand voice profiles | | voice:write | Modify brand voice profiles | | ai:generate | Use AI content generation | | content:bulk | Perform bulk content operations |

Permission groups (shortcuts):

• READ_ONLY — posts:read, accounts:read, voice:read
• CONTENT_CREATOR — READ_ONLY + posts:write, ai:generate
• FULL_ACCESS — All scopes

When to use: Integrations, CI/CD pipelines, custom scripts, third-party tools that need specific scopes.

Agent API Keys (key_type: "agent")

Created in Settings → AI Agents → Add Agent by workspace admins. Use role-based permissions — the key inherits all scopes from the assigned agent role, plus agent-specific scopes not available to regular keys.

Agent roles and their scopes:

| Role | Scopes | Best for | |-|-|-| | viewer | posts:read, accounts:read, voice:read, workspace:read | Monitoring, reporting agents | | creator | viewer + posts:write, voice:write, ai:generate, review:submit, recurring:manage | Content drafting agents (recommended default) | | editor | creator + posts:delete, review:approve, content:bulk, audit:export, team:manage_keys | Content managers, approval workflows | | admin | editor + accounts:connect, team:manage | Orchestrator agents, workspace automation |

Agent-only scopes (not available on regular keys):

| Scope | Description | |-|-| | workspace:read | View workspace policy and capabilities | | review:submit | Submit content for approval | | review:approve | Approve and route reviewed content | | audit:export | Export workspace audit and activity logs | | team:manage | Create and manage agent teammates | | team:manage_keys | Rotate and manage API keys |

Additional agent key behaviors:

• Safe Mode is always enforced for creator role agents
• Review required — creator agents cannot publish directly; content goes through approval
• Agent keys carry an agent_id that is automatically used for audit attribution
• Agent keys link to an AgentPrincipal record for identity tracking

Skill Plane Access by Role

Agent roles determine which skill planes are accessible. Skills should check the caller's role before executing plane-restricted operations.

| Skill Plane | Min Role | Skills | |-|-|-| | Review | viewer | Inbox triage, approve/reject, review digest | | Control | viewer | Audit export, key rotation, quota status, workspace config | | Init (Voice) | creator | Voice bootstrap, learn from samples | | Content | creator | Draft post, week plan, list recent posts | | Automation | creator | Cron generate & schedule, generate to review |

A viewer can access Review and Control planes. A creator can access all planes. editor and admin can access all planes with additional capabilities within each.

How Skills Should Handle Key Types

1. Check key_type on the API response — the server returns key_type: "regular" | "agent" on authenticated responses
2. Regular keys: Validate required scopes exist in the key's permissions array before executing
3. Agent keys: The role determines capabilities — check the role rather than individual scopes
4. Agent-only operations (review workflows, audit export, team management) — reject if key_type is "regular" since these scopes are not available
5. Audit attribution: If key_type is "agent", the agent_id is automatically attached; for regular keys, pass BOLTA_AGENT_ID env var if attribution is needed

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
• https://mcp.bolta.ai - MCP protocol endpoint (for Claude Desktop / Claude Code)

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

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 2.0.1)
• [ ] 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, bolta.ai, and mcp.bolta.ai
• [ ] Test in a disposable/test workspace first (recommended)
• [ ] Confirm your API key is scoped ONLY to the intended workspace

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

1. 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

1. Permission Scoping

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

1. Monitoring

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

1. 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 types

This skill does NOT access:

• Post content or scheduled posts
• Social media credentials
• User passwords or authentication tokens
• Files or media uploads

How they work together

1. The API (bolta.ai/docs/api) is the foundation — every operation (creating posts, managing agents, approving content) flows through it. You can call it directly with curl or any HTTP client.

1. The MCP Server (mcp.bolta.ai/mcp) wraps the API into the MCP protocol so Claude Desktop and Claude Code can call Bolta tools natively. Point your MCP config at the endpoint and your AI assistant gains full workspace access.

1. The Skills Pack (github.com/boltaai/bolta-skills) provides the intelligence layer — structured prompts and multi-step workflows that teach agents *how* to use the API well. Skills handle things like voice-aware drafting, week planning, review triage, and cron automation that go beyond raw API calls.

1. BoltaClaw (github.com/boltaai/boltaclaw-self-hosted) is the turnkey solution. It bundles the skills pack, MCP connectivity, agent runtime, job scheduler, and a CLI into a single self-hosted package. The CLI lets you manage posts, agents, jobs, and workspace settings directly from your terminal — no browser required. If you want to skip manual setup and get a fully operational Bolta agent running on your own infrastructure, BoltaClaw is the fastest path — clone, configure your API key, and you're live.

Which path is right for you?

| Goal | Start here | |-|-| | Explore the API directly | API Docs | | Add Bolta tools to Claude Desktop / Claude Code | MCP Server — configure the endpoint | | Customize agent workflows and prompts | Skills Pack — clone and adapt | | Manage Bolta from the terminal (CLI) | BoltaClaw — includes the CLI | | Get everything running immediately, self-hosted | BoltaClaw — turnkey, pre-configured |

Getting Started: API Setup

Before using Bolta skills, you need an API key. Choose the path that matches your use case.

Path A: Agent API Key (Recommended for AI Agents)

Use this if you're setting up an AI agent (Claude, BoltaClaw, custom agent) to operate as a workspace member.

Step 1: Create Agent Principal

Go to Settings → AI Agents → Add Agent in your Bolta workspace.

Configure:

• Agent Name — Human-readable name for audit logs (e.g., "Claude Content Agent")
• Agent Role — Determines permissions and skill plane access:

| Role | What it can do | Recommended for | |-|-|-| | creator | Draft content, use voice profiles, submit for review | Most agents (default) | | viewer | Read-only access to all content | Monitoring / reporting | | editor | Full content management + approvals | Approval workflow agents | | admin | Everything + agent/account management | Orchestrators only |

Recommendation: Start with creator role. Safe Mode is enforced and all content requires human review.

Step 2: Copy Your Agent API Key

After creation, you'll see the full key once:

API Key: bolta_sk_00000000000000000000000000000000
Workspace ID: 550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000
Agent ID: 660e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440001

The agent ID is automatically linked — no need to set BOLTA_AGENT_ID separately.

Path B: Regular API Key (For Integrations & Scripts)

Use this for CI/CD pipelines, custom integrations, or scripts that need specific scopes.

Step 1: Create API Key

Go to Settings → API Keys → Create New Key.

Select only the scopes you need (least privilege):

• Content creation: posts:write, voice:read
• Full content: posts:read, posts:write, voice:read, ai:generate
• Read-only: posts:read, accounts:read, voice:read

Note: Regular keys cannot access agent-only scopes (review:submit, review:approve, audit:export, team:manage, team:manage_keys, workspace:read). If you need those, use an Agent API key instead.

Step 2: Copy Your API Key

API Key: bolta_sk_00000000000000000000000000000000

IMPORTANT: The full key is shown only once and cannot be recovered (only regenerated via bolta.team.rotate_key).

Configure Your Environment (Both Key Types)

Set Required Environment Variables:

# Required: Your Bolta API key (agent or regular)
export BOLTA_API_KEY="bolta_sk_your_actual_key_here"

# Required: Your workspace UUID
export BOLTA_WORKSPACE_ID="550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000"

# Optional: Agent principal UUID (automatic for agent keys, manual for regular keys)
export BOLTA_AGENT_ID="660e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440001"

For Claude Desktop / Claude Code (MCP):

Connect via the remote MCP endpoint at https://mcp.bolta.ai/mcp:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bolta": {
      "type": "url",
      "url": "https://mcp.bolta.ai/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer bolta_sk_your_actual_key_here",
        "X-Workspace-ID": "550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000"
      }
    }
  }
}

For self-hosted deployments, see BoltaClaw for running your own agent runtime.

For Direct API Calls:

See the full API documentation for all available endpoints.

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" }'

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

Verify Setup

Test your configuration:

curl https://platty.boltathread.com/v1/workspaces/${BOLTA_WORKSPACE_ID} \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ${BOLTA_API_KEY}"

# Expected response:
# {
#   "id": "550e8400-...",
#   "name": "My Workspace",
#   "safe_mode": true,
#   "autonomy_mode": "managed",
#   "max_posts_per_day": 100,
#   "key_type": "agent",        ← indicates which key type authenticated
#   "agent_role": "creator"     ← present only for agent keys
# }

Troubleshooting Setup

Error: "Invalid API Key"

• Verify key matches exactly (no extra spaces)
• Check if key was rotated — get new key at bolta.ai/settings
• Ensure you're using the correct workspace key
• Confirm key prefix starts with bolta_sk_

Error: "Workspace Not Found"

• Verify workspace_id matches your registration
• Confirm you have access to this workspace (visit bolta.ai/workspaces)
• Check if workspace was deleted

Error: "Permission Denied"

• Regular keys: Check granted scopes at Settings → API Keys

- Content creation: Need posts:write minimum - Voice access: Need voice:read or voice:write

• Agent keys: Check agent role at Settings → AI Agents

- Content creation: Need creator role or higher - Approvals: Need editor role or higher - Agent management: Need admin role

• Agent-only scopes (review:submit, audit:export, etc.) are not available on regular keys — switch to an Agent API key if you need them

Error: "Insufficient Role" (Agent keys only)

• The agent's role doesn't have access to the requested skill plane
• viewer cannot access Init, Content, or Automation planes
• Upgrade the agent role at Settings → AI Agents, or use a different agent

Architecture: The Eight Planes

Skills are organized into planes — logical groupings that separate concerns and enable modular capability composition. V2 expands from five planes to eight, adding Agent, Analytics, and Engagement planes.

Plane 0: Voice

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: | Skill | Purpose | |-|-| | 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 (planned) | | bolta.voice.validate | Score content against voice profile 0-100 (planned) |

Typical Flow:

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

Plane 1: Content

Purpose: Content creation, planning, data retrieval, and scheduling

The execution layer for post creation. These skills transform ideas into scheduled social media posts, and provide workspace context for informed content decisions.

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

Skills: | Skill | Purpose | |-|-| | bolta.draft.post | Create a single post in Draft status (original interface) | | bolta.draft_post | Create a draft post using workspace voice profile, routes to Inbox | | bolta.get_account_info | Retrieve connected social account details | | bolta.get_business_context | Fetch workspace business DNA and context | | bolta.get_voice_profile | Read voice profile configuration | | bolta.list_recent_posts | List recent posts for context and continuity | | bolta.loop.from_template | Generate multiple posts from a template (deprecated) | | bolta.week.plan | Plan a week's worth of content with scheduling |

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

Plane 2: Review

Purpose: Human-in-the-loop review, approval, and feedback workflows

Enables teams to review, approve, reject, and provide feedback on agent-generated content before publishing.

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

Skills: | Skill | Purpose | |-|-| | bolta.add_comment | Add feedback comments to posts under review | | bolta.approve_post | Approve a draft, moving it to Approved status | | bolta.reject_post | Reject a draft with feedback for revision | | 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 |

Typical Flow:

1. Agent creates posts -> Pending Approval
2. review.digest sends daily summary
3. Human reviews via inbox.triage
4. Approve/reject individual posts or bulk approve via approve_and_route

Plane 3: Automation

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: | Skill | Purpose | |-|-| | bolta.cron.generate_to_review | Daily content generation -> Pending Approval | | bolta.cron.generate_and_schedule | Autonomous scheduling (requires Safe Mode OFF) |

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)

Plane 4: Agent

Purpose: AI agent lifecycle management — hiring, configuration, job activation, and memory

V2 introduces a dedicated agent plane for managing AI teammates that operate autonomously within your workspace.

Core Principle: Agents are first-class principals with defined roles, jobs, and memory.

Skills: | Skill | Purpose | |-|-| | bolta.agent.hire | Create and onboard a new AI agent from marketplace presets | | bolta.agent.configure | Update agent settings, permissions, and job parameters | | bolta.agent.activate_job | Activate or pause an agent's scheduled job | | bolta.agent.memory | Read/write agent memory for cross-session context | | bolta.agent.mention | Notify or hand off work to another agent | | bolta.job.execute | Documentation for job execution lifecycle |

Typical Flow:

1. Hire an agent from presets (agent.hire)
2. Configure agent settings and jobs (agent.configure)
3. Activate the job to start autonomous work (agent.activate_job)
4. Agent builds memory over time (agent.memory)
5. Agents collaborate via mentions (agent.mention)

Plane 5: Analytics

Purpose: Performance measurement, audience insights, and posting optimization

Provides data-driven insights to inform content strategy and measure impact.

Core Principle: Measure what matters, optimize what works.

Skills: | Skill | Purpose | |-|-| | bolta.get_post_metrics | Retrieve performance metrics (likes, comments, shares, views) | | bolta.get_best_posting_times | Analyze historical data for optimal posting windows | | bolta.get_audience_insights | Audience demographics, growth trends, engagement patterns |

Plane 6: Engagement

Purpose: Community interaction — monitoring mentions, replying, and managing conversations

Closes the feedback loop between publishing and audience interaction.

Core Principle: Respond authentically in brand voice, escalate what needs human judgment.

Skills: | Skill | Purpose | |-|-| | bolta.get_comments | Retrieve comments on published posts | | bolta.get_mentions | Monitor brand mentions across platforms | | bolta.reply_to_mention | Draft a reply maintaining brand voice |

Plane 7: Control

Purpose: Workspace governance, policy, security, and audit

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

Core Principle: Visibility and control for workspace administrators.

Skills: | Skill | Purpose | |-|-| | 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 |

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 / bolta.draft_post - Create individual posts (always Draft)
• bolta.get_account_info - View connected accounts
• bolta.get_voice_profile - Read voice configuration
• bolta.list_recent_posts - Context from recent posts
• bolta.week.plan - Plan content calendar

Rationale: 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, or users learning Bolta patterns before automating.

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.approve_post / bolta.reject_post - Individual review actions
• bolta.review.approve_and_route - Bulk approval workflow
• bolta.add_comment - Feedback on drafts
• bolta.cron.generate_to_review - Daily automated generation
• bolta.get_post_metrics - Performance tracking
• bolta.get_best_posting_times - Scheduling optimization

Rationale: Balances efficiency with oversight. Agent generates content autonomously, but humans approve before publishing. Ideal for teams with 1-2 reviewers publishing 3-10 posts/day.

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.agent.hire - Onboard AI agents
• bolta.agent.configure - Configure agent behavior
• bolta.agent.activate_job - Activate agent jobs
• bolta.get_audience_insights - Audience intelligence
• bolta.get_comments / bolta.get_mentions - Engagement monitoring
• bolta.reply_to_mention - Automated engagement
• bolta.quota.status - Monitor quota usage

Rationale: Maximizes efficiency for high-volume operations. Agent schedules directly without human approval. Only use with well-tested voice profiles, configured quota limits, and regular validation spot-checks.

Warning: Autopilot bypasses human review. Recommended safeguards:

• 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.agent.configure - Agent management
• bolta.agent.memory - Agent memory inspection

Rationale: Control plane install set for administrators. Ideal for workspace owners managing teams, compliance officers conducting audits, and security teams rotating keys.

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

Rule 4: Role-Based Filtering

IF role IN ["viewer", "reviewer"]:
  EXCLUDE: All write operations (posts:write, voice:write)
  INCLUDE: Read-only skills (audit.export, policy.explain, analytics, engagement reads)

IF role IN ["creator", "editor"]:
  INCLUDE: Content plane + Review plane + Analytics + Engagement skills
  EXCLUDE: Control plane skills (team.*, workspace.config)

IF role IN ["admin", "owner"]:
  INCLUDE: All skills (no restrictions)

Rule 5: Quota-Based Warnings

IF daily_posts_used >= (daily_post_limit * 0.8):
  WARN: "Approaching daily quota limit"
  RECOMMEND: bolta.quota.status to view usage

IF daily_posts_used >= daily_post_limit:
  BLOCK: All posts:write skills
  RECOMMEND: Increase quota via bolta.workspace.config

Rule 6: Autonomy Mode Routing

IF autonomy_mode == "assisted":
  INCLUDE: Content plane (draft only) + Analytics + Engagement (read-only)
  EXCLUDE: Automation plane (no cron jobs)

IF autonomy_mode == "managed":
  INCLUDE: Content + Review + Analytics + Engagement planes
  INCLUDE: bolta.cron.generate_to_review (safe automation)
  EXCLUDE: bolta.cron.generate_and_schedule (requires autopilot)

IF autonomy_mode == "autopilot":
  INCLUDE: All automation + agent skills
  REQUIRE: Safe Mode OFF
  RECOMMEND: Quota monitoring (quota.status)

Registry Flow (Detailed)

Step 1: Gather Workspace Context

API Call: GET /api/v1/workspaces/{workspace_id}

Extract:

• safe_mode (boolean)
• autonomy_mode (assisted/managed/autopilot/governance)
• max_posts_per_day (int, nullable)
• max_api_requests_per_hour (int, nullable)

Step 2: Identify Principal

API Call: GET /api/v1/me or use request context

Extract:

• principal_type (user or agent)
• role (owner/admin/editor/creator/reviewer/viewer)
• If agent: permissions array, autonomy_override

Step 3: Check Voice Profile Status

API Call: GET /api/v1/workspaces/{workspace_id}/voice-profiles

Extract:

• voice_profile_count (0 = needs bootstrap)
• Latest version (higher version = more refined)
• status (active/draft/archived)

Step 4: Check Quota Usage

API Call: GET /api/v1/workspaces/{workspace_id}/quota-status (via bolta.quota.status)

Extract:

• daily_posts.used / daily_posts.limit
• hourly_api_requests.used / hourly_api_requests.limit

Step 5: Apply Decision Rules

Run through decision matrix (see above) to filter skills.

Output:

• recommended_skills - Array of skill slugs
• excluded_skills - Array with exclusion reasons
• warnings - Array of configuration issues

}

Integration with Authorization System

The registry integrates with Bolta's authorization layer to ensure skill recommendations respect workspace policies.

Authorization Flow Integration

Step 1: Pre-flight Authorization Check Before recommending a skill, check if the principal is authorized:

from users.authorization import authorize, PostAction

# Check if user can create posts
auth_result = authorize(
    principal_type="user",
    role="editor",
    workspace=workspace,
    action=PostAction.CREATE,
    requested_status="Scheduled",
    agent=None  # or agent instance if principal is agent
)

if not auth_result.allowed:
    excluded_skills.append({
        "skill": "bolta.week.plan",
        "reason": auth_result.reason
    })

Step 2: Respect Autonomy Mode Routing Skills that create posts must account for autonomy mode routing:

AUTONOMY_ROUTING = {
    "assisted": {
        "Draft": "Draft",
        "Scheduled": "Draft",
        "Posted": "Draft"
    },
    "managed": {
        "Draft": "Draft",
        "Scheduled": "Pending Approval",
        "Posted": "Pending Approval"
    },
    "autopilot": {
        "Draft": "Draft",
        "Scheduled": "Scheduled",
        "Posted": "Posted"
    },
    "governance": {
        "Draft": "Pending Approval",
        "Scheduled": "Pending Approval",
        "Posted": "Pending Approval"
    }
}

Step 3: Quota Enforcement Skills that create posts must respect quota limits:

from posts.quota_enforcement import QuotaEnforcer

allowed, reason = QuotaEnforcer.check_daily_post_quota(
    workspace=workspace,
    count=10  # e.g., bolta.loop.from_template with count=10
)

if not allowed:
    excluded_skills.append({
        "skill": "bolta.loop.from_template",
        "reason": reason
    })

Step 4: Safe Mode Compatibility Some skills are incompatible with Safe Mode:

SAFE_MODE_INCOMPATIBLE = [
    "bolta.cron.generate_and_schedule",  # Bypasses review
]

if workspace.safe_mode and skill in SAFE_MODE_INCOMPATIBLE:
    excluded_skills.append({
        "skill": skill,
        "reason": "Incompatible with Safe Mode ON (requires human review bypass)"
    })

Skill Metadata Schema

Each skill provides structured metadata via YAML frontmatter for registry indexing:

---
name: bolta.draft.post
version: 2.0.1
description: Create a single post in Draft status
category: content
roles_allowed: [Creator, Editor, Admin]
agent_types: [content_creator, custom]
safe_defaults:
  never_publish_directly: true
  always_route_to_inbox: true
tools_required:
  - bolta.create_post
  - bolta.get_voice_profile
inputs_schema:
  type: object
  required: [content, platform, account_id]
  properties:
    content: { type: string }
    platform: { type: string }
    account_id: { type: string }
    voice_profile_id: { type: string }
outputs_schema:
  type: object
  properties:
    post_id: { type: string }
    status: { type: string }
---
