⚠️ DO NOT MERGE until gitroomhq/postiz-app#2012 is deployed

posts:list --includeAttachments only returns attachments once that backend change is live. Against the current production API the flag is accepted but ignored, so the documented behaviour would be wrong until then.

What kind of change does this PR introduce?

Feature (CLI + skill). Adds a --includeAttachments boolean option to posts:list in src/index.ts, forwarded as the includeAttachments query parameter in src/commands/posts.ts only when set, so the output stays byte-identical by default. README.md, SKILL.md and the skills/postiz/SKILL.md copy gain an example and a rule: to mirror or repost a post on another channel, reuse the returned path values as the new post's attachments instead of uploading again. CHANGELOG.md has the entry under Unreleased; no version bump.

Why was this change needed?

A customer asked the Postiz agent to mirror their upcoming Instagram and TikTok posts onto a new YouTube channel. The agent could read the post text but had no way to learn which media was attached, so it could not copy the videos. gitroomhq/postiz-app#2012 adds an opt-in includeAttachments flag to the List Posts API. The CLI whitelists the query parameters it forwards, so without this change posts:list cannot request the attachments, and the skill needs to tell the agent to reuse listed paths rather than re-upload.

QA

  1. npx tsc --noEmit and npx tsup succeed
  2. node dist/index.js posts:list --help lists --includeAttachments and its example
  3. Point the CLI at a backend running feat(posts): opt-in attachments on the posts list (API + agent tool) postiz-app#2012 (POSTIZ_API_URL, POSTIZ_API_KEY) and run posts:list for a window containing a post with media: no post has an attachments key
  4. Repeat with --includeAttachments: every post has attachments, and posts with media list { id, path, thumbnail } entries
  5. End-to-end skill test (the customer's scenario): in a fresh Claude Code session with this branch's skills/postiz installed as a project skill, the branch CLI on PATH, and no Postiz MCP server configured, ask the agent to find an existing post with an image and mirror it to another channel as a draft, showing details before creating it
  6. Expected first turn: it runs postiz posts:list --includeAttachments, quotes the source post's attachment path, states no re-upload is needed, proposes postiz posts:create -t draft -m <that path> ... and waits for confirmation
  7. After confirming: the draft is created, its image column holds the identical path, and no new Media row exists for that path (nothing was uploaded)

Steps 1 to 7 were all executed against a local backend running the #2012 branch. In the end-to-end run the agent behaved exactly as in steps 6 and 7: it listed with the flag, reused the path with -m, never ran upload, and the created X draft carried the same media path with the Media table unchanged. Two observations from that run, neither caused by this change: X rejected the first create for a missing who_can_reply_post setting and the agent retried with it; and when a hosted Postiz MCP server is also configured in the session the agent prefers the MCP tool over the CLI, so the test must run without it.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The posts:list command now supports --includeAttachments. The option requests attachment metadata, including reusable media paths, and the documentation describes how to use those paths when reposting or mirroring content.

Layer / File(s) Summary
CLI option and request filter
src/index.ts, src/commands/posts.ts
The posts:list command accepts --includeAttachments. listPosts adds the corresponding API filter and includes a usage example.
Attachment metadata documentation
CHANGELOG.md, README.md, SKILL.md, skills/postiz/SKILL.md
Documentation describes the returned { id, path, thumbnail } fields, the API-version requirement, and reuse of path values for reposting or mirroring.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 4523b

The new option can silently return no attachments on older backend deployments, leaving users unable to follow the documented reposting workflow. Document the required backend release alongside each workflow before merge.
