One brief, a full Nostr 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 Nostr.
NostrAutomate Nostr with Hermes
Hand Hermes one brief and it plans the whole week: drafting Nostr 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 Nostr plan in plain language.
Terminal
npm install -g postqueenexport POSTQUEEN_API_KEY=your_api_key # A task for Hermes:# "Plan next week on Nostr: draft five# posts, schedule them and list# what you queued"What Hermes can run on Nostr
Windows that fit Nostr
Tell Hermes when your followers are most active and it schedules posts into that window on Nostr, day after day, without reminders.
Media attached, sized right
Images upload in the same postqueen call, so Nostr 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 Nostr until you do.
Three steps to a full queue
Discover Nostr
Hermes calls postqueen to list your connected keys and relays and sees what Nostr supports, so drafts start from real capabilities, not guesses.
Draft with Hermes
Give it the brief. The agent writes Nostr-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 Nostr allows
Hermes reads these limits from postqueen before it composes, so a draft that would be rejected never reaches the queue.
- Identity
- A keypair (npub and nsec), with no email, signup or account approval
- Note length
- The protocol sets no character limit on text notes, though relays can cap event size
- Media
- Images and video are linked by URL and rendered inline by most clients
- Relays
- A note only exists on the relays you publish it to, so most people use several
- Threads
- Replies reference the parent event, so clients render them as native threads
- Portability
- The same key works in Damus, Amethyst, Primal and every other client

F.A.Q.
Frequently asked questions
How does Hermes connect Nostr 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 Nostr posts reliably.
Can Hermes schedule Nostr 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 Nostr 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 Nostr and other channels too?
Yes. postqueen connects 30 channels, so Hermes can turn the same brief into Nostr 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.
Do I need an account or an API key for Nostr?
Neither exists on Nostr. There is no signup and no OAuth server to authorize against: your identity is a keypair, and every note has to carry a signature from your private key, which is why connecting Nostr looks nothing like connecting Instagram. Because signing needs that key, treat it like any other credential: plenty of people keep a separate key purely for automated posting, and self-hosting keeps it on a machine you own.
Can I cross-post Nostr notes to X, Mastodon and Bluesky?
Yes. Short-form posts map cleanly across all four, so write once, select the networks and adjust the wording per platform before scheduling. Nostr sets no character limit while X still caps you, so the composer keeps a separate version for each. Every network gets a native post rather than a bridged copy pointing somewhere else.
