A scheduled monitor for Bluesky notifications such as replies, mentions, and quotes. Bluesky is a social network, and the monitor sends the agent an event when something needs attention.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to poll a Bluesky account on a schedule, such as every five minutes, and surface actionable notifications. It requires a handle, an app password, and poller configuration.
Why use it?
It removes the need to check the account manually. A separate agent account and configured credentials help keep monitoring activity distinct from personal activity.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

bluesky-poller scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (poller.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 87 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Bluesky Notification Poller

Monitors your Bluesky account for new replies, mentions, and quotes. Emits events to the agent only when there's something actionable.

Installation

Install from ClawHub:

npx clawhub install bluesky-poller

Or copy this skill directory into your agent's skills/ folder.

After installation, call reload_pollers to register the poller with the scheduler.

Setup

1. Set environment variables

The poller reads credentials from the agent's environment (.env file or system env):

Variable Required Description
BLUESKY_HANDLE yes Your Bluesky handle (e.g., agent.bsky.social)
BLUESKY_APP_PASSWORD yes App password from Bluesky Settings > App Passwords

Important: Use a dedicated agent account, not a personal account. The poller doesn't mark notifications as read, but using a separate account keeps things clean.

2. Configure pollers.json

The skill ships with a default pollers.json that polls every 5 minutes:

{
  "pollers": [
    {
      "name": "bluesky-mentions",
      "command": "python poller.py",
      "cron": "*/5 * * * *"
    }
  ]
}

Adjust the cron schedule as needed. For lower-traffic accounts, */15 * * * * (every 15 minutes) is fine.

3. Reload pollers

After installation, call reload_pollers to register the poller with the scheduler.

What It Reports

The poller emits events for:

  • Replies to your posts
  • Mentions of your handle
  • Quote posts of your content

Each event includes the author, text, and URIs needed to respond.

Likes and follows are ignored — they don't require agent action.

Trust Tiers (Follow-Gate)

Events from accounts you follow are emitted as normal prompts. Events from accounts you don't follow are prefixed with [PERMISSION NEEDED] — the agent should ask the operator before engaging.

The follow list is cached for 1 hour to avoid API rate limits.

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
