Postcraft

Turn a selected note into ready-to-post X (Twitter) and LinkedIn drafts with one click — in your own voice, without leaving Obsidian.

Most AI plugins are general-purpose chat. Postcraft does one thing well: you select text, run one command, and get finished posts you can edit and copy. No prompt writing.

Features

• Select → one click → drafts. Command palette or right-click. Choose X or LinkedIn.
• Matches your voice. Paste a few of your past posts once; Postcraft writes in your style. Plus tone presets (e.g. "no hype — factual, no clickbait").
• Edit in place. Tweak each draft right in the result window, with a live character counter (turns red over the limit).
• Recent drafts history. Reopen your last runs anytime ("Show recent drafts").
• Your key, your data. Calls Anthropic directly via Obsidian's requestUrl; your API key stays in your vault and is never bundled into any web page.

Setup

1. Install the plugin (see Manual install below until it's in the community store).
2. Open Settings → Postcraft and paste your Anthropic API key (sk-ant-…). Get one at console.anthropic.com.
3. Pick a model (Opus = best quality, Sonnet = cheaper/faster), a tone preset, and optionally paste a few of your past posts under Your voice samples.

Usage

1. Select some text in any note.
2. Run "Generate X posts" or "Generate LinkedIn posts" from the command palette, or right-click → Postcraft: X posts / LinkedIn posts.
3. Edit any draft in place, then copy the one you like.
4. Reopen past runs with "Show recent drafts".

Manual install (for local testing)

1. npm install
2. npm run build (produces main.js)
3. Copy main.js, manifest.json, and styles.css into <your-vault>/.obsidian/plugins/postcraft/
4. Reload Obsidian and enable Postcraft in Settings → Community plugins.

Development

• npm run dev — watch mode (rebuilds main.js on save)
• npm run build — type-check + production build

Privacy

Postcraft sends only the text you select (plus your voice samples and the built-in instructions) to the Anthropic API, using the key you provide. Nothing is sent anywhere else. Your key and draft history live in .obsidian/plugins/postcraft/data.json inside your vault — keep that file out of any public sync/repo.
