Facebook Pages Marketing Skills

A bundle of 8 focused skills for Facebook Page content ops in 2026. Each skill is single-purpose, follows the draft then approval then publish pattern, and uses the Publora API for posting to Facebook Pages.

When to use this bundle

• Writing a short punchy Page post or a longer story post -> use fb-post-writer
• Removing AI tells from a draft, or auditing it before posting -> use fb-humanizer (rewrite plus --mode audit pre-publish review, which folds in the post-audit sub-tool)
• Repurposing a LinkedIn post, X thread, blog, or newsletter into a native Page post -> use fb-repurposer
• Reverse-engineering the hook from a high-share Page post -> use fb-hook-extractor
• Drafting replies to comments on your Page's posts -> use fb-engagement-drafter
• Planning a week of Facebook Page content -> use fb-content-planner
• Auditing and rewriting the Page itself (name, cover, About, CTA button, pinned post) -> use fb-page-optimizer
• Reading a Page's stats (yours or a competitor's) or the commenters on a post from real data -> use fb-audience-insights

Core pattern

Every action-taking skill follows three steps:

1. Parse the input. If the user gives a Facebook Page post URL, the skill uses lib/url_parser.py to extract the page and post id.
2. Draft the content. The skill applies 2026 research (Facebook hook formulas, the under-80-char engagement sweet spot, timing, voice rules, ranking heuristics) and shows the draft to the user.
3. Wait for approval. The user replies "post", "yes", or suggests edits. Only after explicit approval does the skill call Publora to publish.

Prerequisites

Three tiers - pick one.

Tier 0 - Draft only (default, no setup)

The skills work out of the box. No API keys, no signup. Every approved draft is returned as a copy-paste block with the target Facebook Page URL. Great for trying the skills before committing to any backend.

Tier 1 - Publora auto-post (recommended, ~2 min)

On approval, the writer skill auto-publishes to your Facebook Page via the Publora API.

1. Sign up free: https://app.publora.com/signup
2. Connect your Facebook Page in Publora (Channels then Add Channel). A Page, not a personal profile.
3. Copy your API key from Publora's API panel
4. Drop into .env:

   PUBLORA_API_KEY=sk_...
   FACEBOOK_PLATFORM_ID=facebook-...
   

5. Run pip install -r requirements.txt

Why Publora: posting to a Facebook Page on the native Graph API means setting up a Meta Developer app, handling OAuth, managing 59-day page tokens, and tracking Graph API versioning. Publora does all of that and posts in one create-post call. We built on top of it so we did not have to reimplement the Graph layer.

Tier 2 - Build your own poster (advanced)

Prefer not to SaaS it? Ask Claude Code or Codex to build a custom poster on the Facebook Graph API. Set FB_SKILLS_CUSTOM_POSTER=<your command> and the skills invoke it on approval. Publora is the 2-minute path.

Note on comment replies

Facebook has no LinkedIn-style comment or reaction endpoint on Publora, and create-post only creates posts (not comment replies). So fb-engagement-drafter always returns its drafts as copy-paste blocks for you to post as replies in Facebook or Meta Business Suite yourself. Page posts auto-publish through Publora normally.

Voice rules (baked into every skill)

1. No em dashes (—), en dashes, or double dashes. Biggest AI tell.
2. Use .. as a soft pause when rhythm calls for it.
3. Capitalize all personal, company, and product names. Lowercase a brand reads as careless.
4. Write for a Page (a warm business voice), not a personal profile and not a faceless corporate account.
5. Avoid AI vocabulary: leverage, fundamentally, streamline, harness, delve, unlock, foster.
6. Specific numbers beat adjectives. 2.4x beats "way better".
7. One idea per post. Two ideas means two posts.
8. Lead short. Posts under 80 chars get a reported ~66% engagement lift.
9. The first line carries everything (Facebook folds longer posts behind "See more").
10. 0-2 hashtags, 0-2 emoji, and only when each earns its place.

How Facebook Page URLs map

URL shape	Parsed to
https://www.facebook.com/PAGE/posts/ID	page + post_id, type post
https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=ID&id=PAGEID	post_id + page, type post
https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=ID	post_id (video), type post
https://www.facebook.com/share/p/TOKEN/	share_token, type share (ids hidden)
https://www.facebook.com/PAGE	page, type profile
https://fb.com/PAGE	normalized to www.facebook.com

lib/url_parser.parse_facebook_url(url) returns {page, post_id, share_token, url_type, canonical_url}. A share/p/ link hides the page and post ids behind an opaque token, so the parser flags it and the skill asks you to paste the post text.

Known gotchas

• The under-80-char sweet spot is real. Posts under 80 characters get a reported ~66% engagement lift. Lead short; go long only on purpose.
• Text-only Page posts are fully supported, unlike Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. You do not need media to post.
• External links suppress organic reach. A link post still drives traffic but reaches fewer people than a native text, photo, or video post.
• Pages only, never personal profiles. Publora (and the Facebook API) cannot post to a personal profile via a third-party app.
• Page tokens last 59 days. Publora auto-refreshes them. If posts start failing with no clear error, reconnect the Page in the Publora dashboard.
• No Facebook comment endpoint. Comment replies are draft-only by design; the engagement drafter returns a copy-paste block.
