ReachWeaver FAQ
What is ReachWeaver?
Section titled “What is ReachWeaver?”ReachWeaver is an open-source Claude Code skill and Python command line for social media publishing about your real work. It helps you find the angle, write a draft that fits each network, check it, preview exactly what would be sent, and send it only after you approve that exact text. It is released under the Apache-2.0 license. See the overview.
Does ReachWeaver post automatically?
Section titled “Does ReachWeaver post automatically?”No. ReachWeaver never posts without your approval of the exact text, and every command is a dry run by default. A live send needs the --live flag plus the REACHWEAVER_ALLOW_LIVE=1 and REACHWEAVER_ENV=prod settings, all set on purpose by the owner. If you change one letter after approving, the approval no longer counts. See the security checklist.
Which social networks does ReachWeaver support?
Section titled “Which social networks does ReachWeaver support?”Text posts to Bluesky and Mastodon work, with one real post each sent on 2026-10-11. Adapters for Telegram channels and LinkedIn personal profiles are built and tested against simulated servers, with no real send yet. For Threads, Facebook Pages, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, X, Chinese platforms and many others, ReachWeaver prepares a package or a caption that you post by hand. Reddit and Hacker News stay human-only. See the platform matrix.
Is ReachWeaver free?
Section titled “Is ReachWeaver free?”Yes. ReachWeaver is free, open-source software, and its commands run on your own computer. Inside Claude Code, the research and writing happen in your own Claude session on the subscription you already have; ReachWeaver itself makes no model calls and needs no API key. Social platforms set their own API terms. See using ReachWeaver with Claude Code and free automatic publishing.
Do I need an account to try it?
Section titled “Do I need an account to try it?”No. The quickstart takes about ten minutes, uses example accounts and cannot publish anything. The browser share composer prepares captions for many networks without any account connection, password or API key.
How do I install ReachWeaver?
Section titled “How do I install ReachWeaver?”You need Python 3.11 or newer; ReachWeaver has no other dependencies. Install the Claude Code plugin with /plugin marketplace add MSKazemi/reachweaver and /plugin install reachweaver@reachweaver, or the command line with pipx install reachweaver or pip install reachweaver.

Where does my data go?
Section titled “Where does my data go?”ReachWeaver runs on your own computer and keeps its records in a local database. It has no account or server of its own, and the project does not intentionally collect telemetry. Credentials stay in your own environment and are read only at the moment of sending. See the privacy notice and the data lifecycle.
Will ReachWeaver make my posts go viral?
Section titled “Will ReachWeaver make my posts go viral?”No, and it never promises reach.

It never buys views, fakes engagement, scrapes or mass-messages strangers. See what works for you.
What happens if a send fails halfway?
Section titled “What happens if a send fails halfway?”ReachWeaver never resends a post when it is unsure whether the first attempt worked. That account is held until you check the real account and run reconcile. reachweaver pause stops all publishing at once. See troubleshooting.
