How to post to Bluesky from Claude.Two minutes, no API key.

Why run Bluesky from a conversationClaude writes, Breakreach publishes.

Bluesky is small enough that cross-posting everything looks lazy, and large enough to matter. Choosing what goes there, in the middle of writing the rest, is easier than opening a separate app.

Nothing runs on your machine. Once a post is scheduled, it publishes from our servers, so Claude can be closed and your laptop can be off.

What you can post to BlueskyAnd how to ask for each.

• Text postUp to 300 characters, counted as Bluesky counts them, so an emoji is one. Longer text is cut at 300.Post this to Bluesky now
• Post with imagesUp to 10 photos. One over Bluesky's limits, 2 MB and 4,000 pixels a side, is recompressed to fit before it's posted.Post it with the launch photo
• VideoOne video of up to 10 minutes and 300 MB. Bluesky processes it before the post goes out, and when a post has both, the video goes out and the photos are left out.Post this clip to Bluesky with the launch announcement

Let Claude write the Bluesky postThen say what to change.

300 characters go fast. Ask for a version under 280 to leave room, and ask for the link at the end, written out in full.

Schedule it instead of posting nowOr let it take the next free slot.

Name a time and the post is scheduled in your workspace's time zone. Or skip the time: use my next free slot puts it in the first open slot of your posting schedule, which is weekdays at 11 AM and 4 PM until you change it in Breakreach. Scheduled Bluesky posts go out from Breakreach's servers, so the conversation, the app and your laptop can all be closed.

After it's publishedStats, edits and deletions.

How it did

Likes, replies and reposts for each post, plus your followers and post count. Bluesky doesn't report views.

Edit or delete it

Until it goes out, you can change anything from the conversation: move it to Friday, change the caption, turn it back into a draft. A failed post can be fixed and rescheduled the same way. Once it's published, the connector can't edit or delete it on Bluesky, and deleting it in Breakreach only takes it off the calendar, so edit or remove a published post in the Bluesky app.

What Bluesky requiresAnd the limits to know.

• Works with any Bluesky account.

What it can't do yet

• Clickable links, mentions and hashtags: text is posted as is.
• Threads, link cards and image alt text.

Three things people do with it

• Send the same announcement to X and Bluesky, trimmed to each limit
• Keep a presence there without a third app open all day
• Schedule posts at hours you are not online

A safe routine for a teamDrafts first, then the calendar.

• Ask for drafts, not postsSay save it as a draft and nothing is scheduled. Drafts land in the Breakreach calendar, where the team can read them, and schedule the draft for Thursday at 9 AM turns one into a post.
• Review in the calendarEvery Bluesky post, from Claude, the API or the app, sits on the same calendar with its time, account and media. Open one to edit it or move it.
• Name the brandWith several workspaces, the connector uses your first one unless you name another, so say which brand the post is for.
• Approve each postSet Claude to ask before it acts (details below), so nothing is published without someone clicking allow.
• Know when something failsA post that hits a temporary error is retried up to three times over 30 minutes. If it still fails, it's marked failed in the calendar with a notification, and you can fix and reschedule it from the chat.
• Revoke access anytimeDisconnect the connector in Claude and the assistant can't post any more. Posts already scheduled stay in the calendar until you cancel them.

Using the connector in ClaudePlans, confirmations, phones.

• Which plans have itConnectors from Claude's directory work on every plan, Free included. On Team and Enterprise, an Owner first adds the connector for the organization in Organization settings → Connectors, then each member signs in with their own account.
• Confirmations before postingClaude asks before using a tool, with Allow once or Always allow. In Customize → Connectors → Breakreach → Tool permissions you can set each tool to Always allow, Needs approval or Blocked: for example, reading posts always allowed and creating posts needing approval. Research mode can call connector tools without asking.
• Web, desktop and phoneConnectors work on claude.ai, in the desktop apps and in the iOS and Android apps. Add Breakreach on the web or desktop, and it's available on your phone the next time you log in.
• DisconnectingIn Customize → Connectors, select Breakreach: Disconnect signs Claude out, and Remove in the menu takes it off your account. Posts already scheduled in Breakreach still go out.

When it doesn't workThe fixes for what people run into.

• My image looks softer than the originalBluesky caps images at 2 MB and 4,000 pixels a side, so Breakreach recompresses larger ones before posting. To keep full control of the quality, export under 2 MB and at most 4,000 pixels on the long side.
• My post was truncatedBreakreach trims Bluesky posts at 300 characters, Bluesky's own limit, so the last words can go. Ask for a version under 280 characters.
