One brief, a full Bluesky plan
Hermes breaks a goal into steps on its own: draft the posts, upload media, schedule each one and report back with what it queued for Bluesky.
BlueskyAutomate Bluesky with Hermes
Hand Hermes one brief and it plans the whole week: drafting Bluesky posts, scheduling them at the right times and reporting back when the queue is full.
Quick start
Install the CLI where Hermes executes commands, then hand over the Bluesky plan in plain language.
Terminal
npm install -g postqueenexport POSTQUEEN_API_KEY=your_api_key # A task for Hermes:# "Plan next week on Bluesky: draft five# posts, schedule them and list# what you queued"What Hermes can run on Bluesky
Windows that fit Bluesky
Tell Hermes when your followers are most active and it schedules posts into that window on Bluesky, day after day, without reminders.
Media attached, sized right
Images upload in the same postqueen call, so Bluesky posts arrive with their media in place instead of a bare link.
Drafts until you are ready
Ask Hermes for drafts only. They sit on the postqueen calendar unscheduled, so you can edit them and pick the time yourself, and nothing reaches your followers on Bluesky until you do.
Three steps to a full queue
Discover Bluesky
Hermes calls postqueen to list your connected accounts and sees what Bluesky supports, so drafts start from real capabilities, not guesses.
Draft with Hermes
Give it the brief. The agent writes Bluesky-shaped posts and proposes publish times that match when your followers are around.
Check and publish
Look over the queue on the postqueen calendar and change anything you want. postqueen publishes each post at its time, and Hermes can pull the results after.
What Bluesky allows
Hermes reads these limits from postqueen before it composes, so a draft that would be rejected never reaches the queue.

F.A.Q.
Frequently asked questions
How does Hermes connect Bluesky to postqueen?
Install the postqueen CLI where Hermes runs commands and export your API key. Every command returns JSON, so the agent can create, schedule and list Bluesky posts reliably.
Can Hermes schedule Bluesky posts at exact times?
Yes. Give it exact slots or a rule like mornings at nine and it sets publish times on the posts it creates, so your followers see them at the right moment.
Will Hermes publish to Bluesky on its own?
Only if you ask it to. Tell it to save drafts and nothing is scheduled: the posts wait on the calendar until you set a time. Tell it to schedule, and they go out at the times you can see, which is the setup most people move to once they trust the output.
Can one brief cover Bluesky and other channels too?
Yes. postqueen connects 30 channels, so Hermes can turn the same brief into Bluesky posts plus adapted versions for every other channel you run.
Does Hermes access cost extra on postqueen?
No. The agent uses your regular API key and plan limits: unlimited posts on every plan, and channel counts from 5 on Creator up to uncapped on Ultimate.
What do I need to connect Bluesky?
Any Bluesky account works, there is no business tier to upgrade to. Create an app password in your Bluesky settings, then connect with your handle and that password. You can revoke the app password at any time without changing your main login.
When is the best time to post on Bluesky?
Bluesky audiences are spread across timezones, so there is no single right hour. Schedule consistent slots through the day, watch which posts pick up replies and reposts, and adjust your queue from there.
