   cd ~/.clawdbot/skills/blackops-center
   cp config.example.yaml config.yaml
   # Edit config.yaml and paste your token

base_url: "https://blackopscenter.com"  # or your custom domain

Available Commands

All commands use the blackops-center CLI wrapper.

List Posts

List posts for your site:

# List all posts
blackops-center list-posts

# List only published posts
blackops-center list-posts --status published

# List only drafts
blackops-center list-posts --status draft

# Limit results
blackops-center list-posts --limit 10

Get a Post

Get full details of a specific post:

Create a Post

Create a new draft post:

blackops-center create-post \
  --title "My Post Title" \

  --excerpt "Optional excerpt" \
  --tags "tag1,tag2,tag3"

All posts are created as drafts by default.

You can combine multiple flags to update multiple fields at once.

Delete a Post

blackops-center delete-post <post-id>

1. Extract title and content from your message
2. Run blackops-center create-post --title "..." --content "..."
3. Return the post ID and preview URL

2. Confirm publication and provide the live URL

User: "Show me my recent draft posts"

API Details

This skill uses the BlackOps Center Extension API (/api/ext/*):

• GET /api/ext/sites - List sites
• GET /api/ext/posts - List posts
• POST /api/ext/posts - Create post
• GET /api/ext/posts/:id - Get post
• PUT /api/ext/posts/:id - Update post
• DELETE /api/ext/posts/:id - Delete post

All requests require Authorization: Bearer <token> header.

Error Handling

• 401 Unauthorized: Token is invalid or revoked. Generate a new token in BlackOps Center.
• 404 Site not found: The domain associated with your token doesn't exist.
• 404 Post not found: Post ID doesn't exist or belongs to a different site.
• 400 Bad Request: Missing required fields (e.g., title, content for create).

Examples

Create and publish workflow

# Create draft
POST_ID=$(blackops-center create-post \
  --title "My Post" \
  --content "# My Post\n\nGreat content here." | jq -r '.post.id')

# Review, edit if needed...

# Publish when ready
blackops-center update-post "$POST_ID" --status published

Bulk operations

# Get all draft posts
DRAFTS=$(blackops-center list-posts --status draft)

# Publish all drafts (careful!)
echo "$DRAFTS" | jq -r '.posts[].id' | while read id; do
  blackops-center update-post "$id" --status published
done

Troubleshooting

"Unauthorized" error:

• Verify your token in config.yaml
• Check token hasn't been revoked in BlackOps Center
• Generate a new token if needed

"Site not found":

• Each token is tied to a specific site domain
• If you need to manage multiple sites, generate separate tokens for each

Command not found:

• Make sure bin/ is executable: chmod +x ~/.clawdbot/skills/blackops-center/bin/*
• Skill should be installed via ClawdHub or symlinked to ~/.clawdbot/skills/

Development

Test the API directly with curl:

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" \
  https://blackopscenter.com/api/ext/posts
