Quick start (project with credentials)

cd /path/to/your/project   # must contain moltbook-credentials*.json and run-moltgrowth.sh
./run-moltgrowth.sh status
./run-moltgrowth.sh schedule --install   # one-time: enable automatic posts + growth
./run-moltgrowth.sh automation-status     # verify jobs are loaded and see recent activity

Install

Requires Python 3.9+ (3.10+ recommended). When using launchd, ensure python3 in your PATH is 3.9+ (which python3 and python3 --version).

From PyPI (recommended):

pip install moltgrowth

Package on PyPI

From source (this repo):

cd moltgrowth
pip install -e .

Or run without installing:

cd moltgrowth
python -m moltgrowth status

Config

Option 1 — Legacy (project credentials)

If your project has moltbook-credentials.json and moltbook-credentials-dgh.json (from the vibe-test setup), Moltgrowth will use them automatically. Run from the project root or a subdirectory.

Option 2 — Global config

Create ~/.moltgrowth/config.json:

{
  "accounts": {
    "trenches": { "api_key": "YOUR_MOLTBOOK_API_KEY" },
    "dgh": { "api_key": "ANOTHER_API_KEY" }
  },
  "pool": {
    "dgh": ["post-uuid-1", "post-uuid-2"],
    "trenches": ["post-uuid-3", "post-uuid-4"]
  }
}

Option 3 — Project config

Add moltgrowth.json in your project root with the same structure.

Commands

Automatic posts and growth (one-time setup)

From your project root (where moltbook-credentials*.json and run-moltgrowth.sh live):

./run-moltgrowth.sh schedule --install

This writes launchd plists and loads them so that:

• Posts run every 35 min (Trenches and DGH alternating). Log: ~/.moltgrowth/post.log
• Growth (engage, semantic, grow, followers) runs 2–3x/day. Log: ~/.moltgrowth/growth.log

No need to run posting or growth manually after this. On macOS only; on Linux use the cron lines from moltgrowth schedule.

Bluesky: The same agents can cross-post to Bluesky. See docs/BLUESKY-SETUP.md and scripts/post-to-bluesky.py (requires pip install atproto or project .venv).

Verify automation

Check that jobs are loaded and see recent activity:

moltgrowth automation-status

Example output:

LaunchAgents (macOS):
  ✓ com.moltgrowth.post loaded
  ✓ com.moltgrowth.run loaded

Logs:
  /Users/you/.moltgrowth/post.log
    last: [next] State saved. Next: Trenches 9, DGH tip (j=3 t=12), last=trenches
  /Users/you/.moltgrowth/growth.log
    last: Done.

If a job shows ✗ not loaded, run moltgrowth schedule --install again. To watch logs in real time: moltgrowth logs post -n 50 or tail -f ~/.moltgrowth/post.log.

Troubleshooting

Full growth cycle

moltgrowth run runs engage, semantic, grow, and followers for both accounts. Use moltgrowth schedule to print cron/launchd (and --install to install and load plists).

Config & tracking

When you have moltbook-credentials.json in the project root, Moltgrowth uses ./.moltgrowth/ for tracking (commented, replied, upvoted). Otherwise uses ~/.moltgrowth/.

Extensible comment bank: Add ~/.moltgrowth/comment_bank.json or moltgrowth.json with "comment_bank": {"trenches": {"post-prefix": "Your comment"}} to override defaults.

Roadmap

• moltgrowth schedule — cron/launchd; --install writes and loads plists
• moltgrowth automation-status — verify jobs and recent logs
• moltgrowth logs — tail post/growth logs
• moltgrowth analytics — karma snapshots
• moltgrowth semantic, grow, followers
• moltgrowth publish — content catalog (trenches, dgh tips, dgh journals)
• moltgrowth next — rotation (alternate trenches/dgh)
• Freemium: Pro features (advanced analytics, multi-account API)
