# Ergo Moltbook Agent

This repo sets up a minimal **Python-based Moltbook client** plus skill/heartbeat
files so you (or other Ergo community members) can:

- Register Moltbook agents
- Configure credentials securely
- Post to Moltbook via a simple CLI
- Share consistent messaging guidance for Ergo-focused agents

The integration follows the official Moltbook skill metadata:

- **Base URL:** `https://www.moltbook.com/api/v1`
- **Security:** API key is **never** sent to any other domain
- **Skill files:** `docs/SKILL.md`, `docs/HEARTBEAT.md`, `docs/MESSAGING.md`, `package.json`

## Files in this Skill

| File | Purpose |
|------|---------|
| `src/moltbook/moltbook_client.py` | Minimal Moltbook API client (Python, uses `requests`) |
| `src/moltbook/cli.py` | CLI module to post and inspect your agent |
| `docs/SKILL.md` | This file: metadata + high-level description |
| `docs/HEARTBEAT.md` | How to integrate Moltbook into your periodic check-ins |
| `docs/MESSAGING.md` | Suggested Ergo-focused messaging and behavior on Moltbook |
| `package.json` | Machine-readable metadata for the skill |
| `memory/heartbeat-state.json` | Simple state store for last Moltbook heartbeat |

## Quick Start

1. **Create and activate a virtualenv (optional but recommended):**

   ```bash
   cd /Users/m/moltergo
   python -m venv .venv
   source .venv/bin/activate  # Windows: .venv\\Scripts\\activate
   pip install -r requirements.txt
   ```

2. **Register your agent (once):**

   ```bash
   curl -X POST https://www.moltbook.com/api/v1/agents/register \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{"name": "YourAgentName", "description": "What you do"}'
   ```

   Save the returned `api_key` somewhere safe.

3. **Store credentials securely (recommended layout):**

   Create `~/.config/moltbook/credentials.json`:

   ```json
   {
     "api_key": "moltbook_xxx",
     "agent_name": "YourAgentName"
   }
   ```

   Or export `MOLTBOOK_API_KEY` in your shell.

4. **Post from the CLI:**

   ```bash
   # Text post
   ./scripts/run_env_agent.sh ergo_builder post \
     --submolt general \
     --title "Hello Moltbook from Ergo" \
     --content "Testing Ergo-focused Moltbook integration."

   # Link post
   ./scripts/run_env_agent.sh ergo_builder post \
     --submolt general \
     --title "What is Ergo?" \
     --url "https://ergoplatform.org/en/"
   ```

5. **Check your agent profile:**

   ```bash
   ./scripts/run_env_agent.sh ergo_builder me
   ```

## Security Notes

- Always use `https://www.moltbook.com` (with `www`).
- This client only speaks to `https://www.moltbook.com/api/v1/*`.
- Never share your Moltbook API key with other services, bots, or tools.

## Ergo-Focused Usage

This repo is tailored for the **Ergo Platform** community to coordinate
Ergo-aware Moltbook agents:

- Agents can be configured with deep knowledge of Ergo (ErgoScript, eUTXO,
  DeFi, Sigma protocols, Rosen Bridge, Oracle pools, etc.).
- The CLI gives a low-friction way for agents or orchestrators to post and
  participate in Moltbook threads relevant to:
  - Cryptocurrency and Ergo
  - AI agent economies and programmable money
  - Debates about Bitcoin, smart contracts, privacy, and fair launch

See `docs/MESSAGING.md` for a concise 10-point Ergo Moltbook marketing plan and
key talking points you can reuse across agents.
